On Friday, Westfield Garden State Plaza will celebrate the grand opening of Pinstripes, an Italian-American restaurant with bowling and bocce under the same roof. “Sophistication meets fun” here, its website teases. The menu—wood-fired pizzas, pasta dishes, gelato, cocktails, beer and an extensive wine list—can be enjoyed on its own or while bowling and playing bocce, a classic Italian ball sport.

Verona’s Umai Sushi & Steak House has expanded its high-end sushi endeavor with its latest concept, Grande Buddha Izakaya.

This new restaurant/bar serves seasonal and produce-driven dishes from its Italian- and Mediterranean-inspired menu. Many of its ingredients come from local vendors in New Jersey. The menu changes daily but consists of items like fresh salads, pastas, duck confit, desserts, cocktails, beers and wines. The majority of FiNNBAR’s profits will go to Studio Route 29, an art studio in Frenchtown for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Artwork from the studio is hung around the restaurant.

Located in Menlo Park Mall’s Dining Pavilion, this premium French fry chain is known for its loaded fries and poutine. Some fry offerings include pulled pork poutine, flamin’ bacon, nacho, chili and veggie. The same toppings can be loaded onto hot dogs. (Plain old fries are available, too.) Dipping sauces come on the side. This is Jersey’s first location; a second location, in Jersey City, is on the way.
