Montclair Farmers' Market
Nice neighborhood Farmers Market on Sundays.
They have a wood fire stove for pizza and other menu items. Owners closed because they wanted to retire from the food business. A new restaurant, "Growlers Arms" came and went. The original owners granted permission to the chefs to take over the former Marzano's with the same menu. It is now open again and as popular as it was before.
