There’s plenty to put on your Union County calendar this week. Friday brings dueling pianos to downtown Westfield and a benefit concert supporting the Rialto. Over the weekend, you can sample your way through Rahway’s Hispanic Heritage restaurant crawl, explore the Many Flavors of Linden, or spend Sunday at Fanny Wood Day. And for anyone keeping a list of new places to eat, Sinners Steakhouse begins early access in Kenilworth on Saturday.

That’s what we hope UC Scoop brings to your week: a reason to try somewhere new, support a local business, and explore a little beyond your usual stops. With 21 towns across Union County, a new favorite café or a fun afternoon could be just one town over. We’re here to help you find it.

There are ways to pitch in, too. This week’s volunteer spotlight highlights the Community FoodBank of New Jersey in Hillside, where you can help sort and pack food for families.

Pick something that catches your eye, invite a friend, and tell us how it goes. Your recommendations help shape what we share next.
