Remember Ethan's, the eclectic Elizabeth hot spot that lured a loyal crowd with a seasonally changing menu and cozy neighborhood vibe? You may even recall Pearl, which suffered an abbreviated stint before quickly handing over the sauté pan to Solera, a Mediterranean establishment that shared a similar fate.
Tucked away in a corner of Uptown is a neighborhood so charming and so thoroughly distinct, the uninitiated might think they've stumbled into another city.
