My favorite restaurant is Biggies, specifically, the one located in East Rutherford. Check it out, here. They serve a wide variety from burgers and steaks, to pizzas and fish. My absolute favorite dishes are the personal flatbread pizza, and the outstanding shirley temple drinks. This restaurant was originated from Hoboken, and I actually used to date a kid whose family owns the chain restaurant; check out the kid's twitter here .
This is my favorite restaurant because of the fantastic service. They accommodate different quantities of people, and the waitors/waitresses are always very sweet. The food is never cold, or not tasty. I love Biggies because of their menu as well. I love their pizza.

If this restaurant closed down, I would go to Houlihans. I would pick it because the location is very close. Check it out here. I would pick Houlihans because of their amazing steak and potatoes.Learn more here or here.

Writing Prompt Dec. 7 -Josh and Sam

I think that we should have a cosmetic class. My friend goes to Bergen Tech and always tells me everything she learns and how much she loves the cosmetology class they offer. I think a lot of people would be interested, and due to high interest, many people would excel in grades and the knowledge they would pick up. This class would be at the end of the day, probably 8th period, because many seniors leave, and they would not have to take away from their main classes.

The students would get mannequins, and have to practice different hair techniques and make-up techniques on them. The hair would range from coloring to simple braiding, and make-up would range from contouring to simple eyeliner. The class would be in any room with tables, and would have a nice calm vibe. There could be light music going on. The students would produce practice on their mannequins, and on occasion, each other. For example, make-up for school plays or school events.
