Welcome to &grain, where fresh artisan breads are made daily.

What makes our bread different? The care that we take, from the selection of the ingredients to the personal attention each loaf receives. The baking starts with just the essential ingredients, incorporating them gently, and molding each shape by hand. We tend to the maturing loaves regularly, making sure that they don’t over proof, yet reach their fullest potential. After hours of careful watching and waiting, they are ready for the oven.

Our bread has an almost buttery flavor, with a crisp crust and large open cell structure within; evidence of the time and effort that is taken in its creation.

Go with the grain, and see for yourself!

In the midwest, “supper club” means a spot where you can not only have a great meal, but a spot that functions as a bit of a social club too – a place to enjoy remarkable food + great company. One of our favorite parts of the night, has been watching our customers interact – running into neighbors and friends, meeting up with family, or just enjoying a night out together – it’s our own little social club. So, we figured what could be more apt – then calling ourselves the 100 Steps Supper Club.

The “raw bar” side – well that comes from wanting a nice, traditional oyster bar to belly up to and dive into raw oysters, clams, and other great seafood. We like to think we have one of the best fishmongers in the business – fresh fish + shellfish every day sourced direct from the boat to you – so why not show off a bit!

Abraham Clark boldly demonstrated his support of the Revolution as a New Jersey signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was born in what is now Roselle on February 15, 1726 — the only child of Thomas Clark. He became a surveyor and studied common law. Clark and his wife Sarah raised ten children in their farmhouse, built in 1705.

The house burned in 1900, but a replica was constructed in 1941. The original house stood a short distance from the current site on what is now Crane Street, near Wheatsheaf Road, which was known as Springfield Road in Colonial times. The design of the house was based on old photographs and existing known facts from later owners and residents. The lot on which it stands was donated to the Abraham Clark Chapter of Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) by Mr. William M. Crane, and was a part of the original Clark Farm in the 18th century.

The Office of New Jersey State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) is located here.

As a young man, Alfonso worked with regional chefs while living in Italy. After coming to America, his first job was baking at the Plaza Hotel and later became the pastry chef for The Hampshire House. Once his skills were refined, Alfonso decided to open his own pastry shop on Staten Island. The first Alfonso’s Pastry Shoppe opened in 1970 , and was located on Manor Road. In 1978 the business moved to Victory Blvd, where it still successfully exists today.

Hiking Trail

Historically significant Ash Brook Reservation is located on the Battle of Short Hills Historic Trail. The trail can be accessed from the UC Tech parking lot next to the Police Academy.

Ash Brook Reservation – North Trail Blog – http://gonehikin.blogspot.com/2017/05/ash-brook-reservation-north-trail.html

Ash Brook swamp, part of Union County’s Ash Brook Reservation, was but one of many locations where British and Colonial forces fought on a brutally hot June 26, 1777. This running battle dragged on over 12 miles, stretching from Metuchen to a pass through the Watchung Mountains that came to be called “Bloody Gap.”

The British hoped that if they feigned a departure from New Jersey, they would lure the Continental Forces down from the Watchung Mountains, defeat them, and finally end the Revolutionary War. The plan didn’t succeed, even though Washington’s troops of less than 6,000 were vastly outnumbered by a combined British and Hessian force numbering about 12,000.

After the initial confrontation in Metuchen, the Colonial militia dropped back across what is now Edison and Scotch Plains, and then retreated through the swamp in an effort to slow the British by causing their cannons to get bogged down in the soft earth. (Although portions of the swamp were drained decades ago, it is one of few locations along the battle route never fully developed.) From the swamp, the retreat continued north to the safety of the Watchung Mountains through a pass near Seeley’s Pond.

Featuring:
• A nature trail leads into the swamp, allowing hikers to see firsthand the conditions that troops faced. Some wet areas remain, giving visitors a sense of why American troops lured the British through this area to slow their advance. The trailhead is at the rear of UCVTS.
