In case you haven’t heard, the FIFA World Cup is coming to New Jersey. 😉

And now, according to NJ.com, one of the best places in the state to watch it is right here in Metuchen.

Congratulations to Hailey’s Harp & Pub on being named one of New Jersey’s 15 Best Soccer Bars for World Cup 2026.

The article says that at Hailey’s, “you’ll always be among friends,” which comes as no surprise to those of us who know Hailey’s.

And, of course, the train ticket to Hailey’s will cost a lot less than the train ticket to the game. 😜⚽🍀

The World Cup is just around the corner! 👏⚽️ If you can't make it to New York New Jersey Stadium, Jersey's got you covered.

Congratulations to The Greek on Main and its owner, Teddy Kappas, on 10 years, which is truly no small feat in the restaurant business.

Over the past decade, Teddy has navigated economic ups and downs, a pandemic, road closures, outdoor dining, municipal requirements, and all the other challenges that come with running a small business.

Through it all, he has remained deeply committed to his customers and he has been a strong advocate for our downtown business community. Like so many of Metuchen’s outstanding small business owners, Teddy has helped make our downtown the vibrant destination it is today.

And it certainly helps that The Greek on Main serves some of the most delicious Greek food around.

Congratulations on this milestone, Teddy. We’re grateful for all you’ve done and for the role you continue to play in the success of downtown Metuchen. 🇬🇷🎉
