Ramsey Entrepreneurs Continue To 'Roll' With Eat My Balls Food Truck RAMSEY, N.J. -- So far, summer has been a ball for Rosa Eichman, her newlywed husband, Mike, and mom Cynthia Pittari. The three Bergen County residents are the force behind the Eat My Balls food truck which they formally incorporated last August after sitting around Pittari's Elmwood Park kitchen one day talking about how great a cook she is and why, oh why, doesn't she market her Italian specialties. (See earlier Daily Voice story HERE.) The response to their first season has been fantastic, said Eichman, who now lives in Ramsey, as the three travel the county selling Pittari's authentic…

Reinvent Your Coffee Experience With Cold Brew Options At Lorca In Stamford FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Ready to cool down with something hot? This summer, getting caffeinated is all about cold-brew, a centuries-old method that offers Fairfield County residents fresh nuances in flavor, not to mention a bracing antidote to the stifling heat. Not to be confused with iced-coffee (in which hot or chilled espresso-based coffees are served over ice), cold brew takes coffee grounds steeped in room-temperature water for up to 24 hours to produce a concentrated coffee essence which is then diluted with water, usually by 50 percent. Prized for its lack of acidity, innate com…
