📰 In the news

Try a heritage artform: Whippany’s Paint, Learn and Sip for Ukraine is coming up March 22, led by Olena Shevelenko teaching Petrykivka. Organized by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, proceeds aid relief — get all the details.

Expanding reach and service: PrideStaff’s Morristown offices relocated to Mountainside effective March 1, 2026. The locally owned team will continue supporting employers and job seekers across Northern and Central New Jersey — get all the details.

Next step for airport mobility: Newark Liberty is set to test three self-driving shuttles this spring, with vehicles from Oceaneering, Ohmio, and Glydways. Trials could pave the way for a formal proposal process next year — learn what’s being tested.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

• Experience Abigail Adams brought to life
• Move, connect, recover at March MAT-ness
• Create Petrykivka art to support Ukraine

🫶 We got your back

Old-school deli fix: When a sub sounds perfect, Parsippany Deli delivers: crisp cold cuts, hot corned beef or pastrami, even their Sloppy Layers. Add the no-nonsense vibe that comes with 50-plus years in town, and you’ve got an easy lunch win… midweek sanity restored.

Stretch your legs here: Between the 5-acre dog park, disc golf course, and miles of trails, Central Park Of Morris County suits a quick after-work reset or a full family roam. Turf fields, sand volleyball, and an all-access playground keep everyone moving, so yes, we’ll call it cardio.

Build, race, repeat: If your crew loves to tinker, Tech Toys is the neighborhood hub for RC cars, scale models, rockets, Pinewood Derby supplies, plus the tiny parts and know-how to keep them running. Ideal for rainy-day projects and clutch, last-minute birthday saves, without the guesswork.

Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →

You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →

Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance? 🚗

Premiums have been climbing across New Jersey but most folks won’t notice until they’re hit with a higher bill when it’s time to renew.

That’s exactly what happened to me. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, it was out of sight and out of mind. Turns out I was blindly paying way more than everyone else I knew.

If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too – here’s the comparison tool I used.

This house is wild

In PARQ’s resort-style community 27 miles from NYC, this model-like Rockefeller with Library commands a corner lot. Partial stone, Hardie Plank, bronze windows, and front plus rear covered porches amplify curb appeal. Inside, a gourmet kitchen with quartz and double wall ovens joins a study with full bath, a spa-like owner’s suite, and a finished basement.
