DELI SANDWICH/ITALIAN
Founded in 1946, the Millburn Deli in Millburn has been run by the Fluke and Morgan families since 1991. Since at least that time, sloppy joes have been a specialty, but people also flock to the deli for panini, customer-invented sandwiches, and brimming Italian-style heroes.

JEWELRY
At the four locations of Walter Bauman Jewelers (Clifton, Short Hills, Union, and the West Orange flagship, which opened in 1960), you will find a wide array of unique estate and antique jewelry, as well as the work of today’s leading designers such as Coast Diamond and Judith Jack.
“I bought my first piece of jewelry at their West Orange store — a gold bracelet for my girlfriend’s sixteenth birthday back in 1970,” writes reader Ron Foreso of Denville, “And I have purchased all of my jewelry there ever since and have never been disappointed.” (643 Eagle Rock Ave., West Orange, 973-731-3155, walterbauman.com)
SHOES/WOMEN’S
The Hausman family knows designer shoes. For more than 60 years, their Footnotes stores have offered high-quality footwear from top designers such as Stuart Weitzman and Tory Burch. Check out their stores in Millburn, Deal, Englewood, or online to pick up a casual flat or a sparkly stiletto for your next big occasion.
