I'm a fan of Hamisada, they have the space for that. Food is great and easy to stay within that budget.

1600 Route 70 according to this from a while ago
https://yeahthatskosher.com/2021/11/the-loft-steakhouse-is-opening-an-upscale-restaurant-in-lakewood/
That explains why it's taking so long. The motel is being renovated for use as an office building.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Any recommendations where to purchase a women's diamond watch? The quality of the piece is more important to me than the brand. Local or online etc.

The last Lakewood restaurant to carry jewelery (Bonky’s) closed some time ago  :)

Uber Eats Tips. Most restaurants seem to have very inflated pricing on Uber Eats, one popular place seems to be more than 40% higher than in-store! Others seem similar.

Authentic Kosher Chinese seems to have very reasonable prices.

Sprinkles actually sells GiftCards on Uber Eats. Additionally, once you place an order from another restaurant it will give you the option to add a delivery from another store with no fee. You should be able to get a $20 Sprinkles gift card with no fees (just taxes).
