(Family Features) What you eat not only affects you, it could affect your unborn child.
    Of the four million women who give birth in the US each year, some 3,000 babies are born with neural tube defects, which include certain birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. Folic acid is a critical element needed for proper spinal cord development during the first three weeks of pregnancy. Because this is often before a woman even knows she’s pregnant, it’s important for women of child-bearing age to follow a healthy lifestyle and to include folic acid as part of her diet.

“River View Observer Best Pick Developers for Jersey City.”Â
Brothers Eric Silverman and Paul Silverman have been developing real estate in Jersey City since 1981, but they are not ordinary developers. While others are making a splash building modern skyscrapers and luxury condos on the waterfront, the Silverman brothers have spent the last three decades quietly transforming former warehouses into mixed-use buildings, schools into residences and abandoned storefronts into fashionable shops throughout Jersey City.
The brothers founded SILVERMAN, now the foremost developer of mixed-use residential buildings, historic landmarks and creative retail destinations in Jersey City, and today serve as a major engine behind the city’s revitalization. The company provides affordable and market-rate housing options to the greater community of Jersey City while building family oriented neighborhoods and supporting local retailers.

Dining in the Glow of the Lamp Post
Try the Lamp Post Bar & Grille for Hearty Dishes, Local Brews and Neighborhood Charm
By Sally Deering
Downtown Jersey City looked a lot different back in the day and on Second Street, between Monmouth and Brunswick Streets, the neighborhood bar known first as The Village Pub and and then renamed the My Way Lounge attracted blue collar regulars who bellied up to the bar for some beers and small talk.
Ten years ago, Tom Egar and his sister-in-law Michelle Egar, who grew up in the same neighborhood bought Miller’s Pub with their friend Monica Kress. They renovated, updated and renamed it The Lamp Post Bar & Grille and although some things have changed, The Lamp Post has kept its connection to the neighborhood by offering hearty dishes at good prices in a welcoming atmosphere.

Knights before Christmas!
 By Sally Deering
The classic Christmas movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life!” is a holiday tradition that seems to make us all remember the true spirit of Christmas isn’t how much money you spend, but the friends and family who stick by you when the chips are down.

Hendrickson’s Restaurant features Old World Charm in the 21st Century
by Sally Deering Â
 
A step inside Hendrickson’s in Bayonne is like a step back in time with its dark-wood, low-lighting and in the back dining room wooden booths upholstered in dark green leather and photographs of Bayonne history on the walls. It has the feeling of a Bavarian ale house from back in the day, hearty portions of steak and chops, but Henrickson’s has kept in step with times by offering Italian, Mexican and All-American family fare. They even have a children’s menu!
