Heart-shaped boxes of creamy chocolates, bouquets of roses, and lovey-dovey cards are some of the ways lovers celebrate Valentine’s Day here in the U.S. And February 14th isn’t just a happy day for lovers. In a survey published last month by the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, companies producing Valentine candy, cards, flowers and novelties are swooning like teenage sweethearts because Valentine’s Day generates more than $13 Billion in revenue. That’s a whole lotta love! Okay, so we all know people in the U.S. throw down some serious dough on Valentine’s Day, but how do people in other countries celebrate? What are their customs, traditions? Here’s a peek.

Cont’d from Cover FRANCE It’s been said the first Valentine’s Day card originated in France in the 1400s when Charles, Duke of Orleans, sent love letters to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Back in the day, the French followed the tradition “une loterie d’amour” (drawing for love) that matched lovers by the sound of their voice. Single men and women would enter houses facing each other and take turns calling out to one another until they were paired off. If the men didn’t like their match, they left the woman for another man to call. As part of the tradition, the women that didn’t get matched up, got together afterward for a big ceremonial bonfire where

they tossed pictures and objects of the men who rejected them, and cursed their names. French officials banned the tradition when the women got too rowdy and out of control. Today, the French take their lovers out for some fine French cuisine and champagne, and it’s the most popular day for men to get down on that bended knee and propose. Cont’d on page 6

lovers gathered in gardens and parks for poetry readings and long strolls. Today, Italians prefer romantic dinners and exchanging gifts. Also, the Italians have a tradition of giving chocolate to their lovers and the bigger the chocolates, the stronger the bond. CANADA To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Canadians throughout the country organize balls and parties where people express love for their spouses and sweethearts. Roses, chocolates, candies and cards are the most popular gifts. Canadian kids exchange gifts with their friends and just like in the U.S. in many schools, children enjoy classroom parties where they put all the Valentines in a decorated box to be distributed to other kids in class. BRAZIL Since Brazil’s Carnival usually takes place in February it overlaps with Valentine’s Day, and the city adds that extra hint of love to its big party day. The local equivalent to Valentine’s Day is “Dia dos enamorados” (Lovers Day) which is June 12. On this day, Brazilians exchange chocolates, flowers, and cards and musical performances are held throughout the country. Brazilians also celebrate “Saint Anthony’s Day,” which commemorates the patron saint of marriage. On this day, single Brazilians looking for a husband or wife perform certain rituals to increase their chances of meeting their soul-mate. SOUTH AFRICA Valentine’s Day is huge in South Africa. Shop

keepers adorn their shops with fragrant flowers, and love symbols like cupid, love birds, and hearts. The country’s most typical tradition includes taking your valentine out on the town or to one of South Africa’s beautiful beaches. Young women celebrate Valentine’s Day by following ‘Lupercalia’ where she pins her lover’s name on her sleeve. Some men also follow this custom. TAIWAN The Taiwanese celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14 and again on July 7; both dates are equally important. Men like to purchase beautiful bouquets of roses for their sweethearts, and according to tradition, the color and number of roses is significant. One red rose signifies ‘my only love’, 11 roses ‘my favorite’, 99 roses ‘forever’ and 108 roses means ‘marry me.’ JAPAN Japanese men are the ones courted on Valentine’s Day with lots of delicious chocolate. This custom of gifting chocolate on February 14 was first introduced in 1936 by a Kobe-based confectioner ‘Morozoff Ltd’. The company ran the first ever Valentine’s Day ad in Japan in a local English newspaper that attracted foreigners who celebrated Valentine’s Day. By the 1950’s other Japanese
chocolate manufacturers joined in, and in the 1970s, Japanese people began giving Valentine’s chocolates that expressed the nature of their relationship. A woman would gift ‘giri-choko’ which means ‘obligation chocolate’ to men she was not interested in romantically like her boss and colleagues. ‘Chō-giri choko’ which means “ultra-obligatory” is chocolate given to people the woman may not even like, but feels obligated to give something. ‘Honmei-choko’ which means ‘favorite or true feeling chocolate’ is gifted to boyfriends, lovers or husbands. And for an extra show of love, a woman will give ‘honmei-choko’ or home-made chocolate. A more recent type of chocolate has popped up, the ‘tomo-choko’ which means ‘friend’ and is gifted to a woman’s female friends. DENMARK The Danes celebrate Valentine’s Day with ‘Gaekkebrev’ which are funny little poems or rhyming love notes that men send to women anonymously, giving them only one clue to the sender’s identity: the number of letters in the sender’s name represented by a dot for each letter. The recipient must then guess who sent her the card. If she guesses correctly she wins an Easter egg on Easter and if she’s stumped, she owes her admirer an Easter egg. ESTONIA More a celebration of friendship than romantic love, Valentine’s Day in Estonia is called ‘Sõbrapäev’ which means ‘Friend’s Day.’ Cont’d on page 7
BE MINE Cont’d from page 6
That doesn’t mean romance isn’t in the air. February 14 is still the most popular day for marriage proposals. WALES On Valentine’s Day, it is customary for the Welsh to give love-spoons, an old tradition that began when Welsh men (possibly sailors) carved intricate designs into wooden spoons and presented them to the women they wanted to date or marry. The designs they carved on the spoon’s handles were also symbolic: a key would signify a man’s heart, a wheel his hard work and beads represented the number of kids he wanted. This tradition is still carried out
today. ENGLAND In the 1700s, on the night before Valentine’s Day single women pinned five bay leaves to each corner of their pillows and one in the center hoping they would conjure dreams of their future husbands. Another variation of this tradition was to sprinkle bay leaves and rose water and lay them across their pillows saying “Good Valentine, be kind to me; in dreams let me my true love see.” Now considered folklore, this tradition is rarely practiced. In parts of England, the character ‘Jack Valentine’ also known as Old Father Valentine or even Old Mother Valentine, is a lovable and mysterious character who knocks on
children’s doors on the night before Valentine’s Day and leaves treats and presents under their pillows. SCOTLAND In Scotland, Valentine’s Day is celebrated with a festival where unmarried men and women write their names on paper which is folded and placed into a hat: one hat for women; one for men. The women draw a name and vice versa and the two are then matched. Women then pin the name of their partner over their hearts or on their sleeves. A dance often follows and, at the end of the festival, it is not unusual for marriages to take place. According to another Scottish custom, the first young man or woman encountered
by chance on the street – or anywhere – will become
that person’s valentine. Happy Valentine’s Day!

What Jersey City Restaurants Use to Be By Sally Deering
F
Step Back in Time for Old World Italian Cuisine at the Barge Inn
ew Jersey City restaurants look like they did back in the day; and very few were around in the 1960s like The Barge Inn restaurant a little jewel in Jersey City’s crown. The Barge Inn serves Italian cuisine made from recipes handed down through generations. That’s why the food is so delicious – it’s authentic. Owners Linda and Peter “Bitsy” Paldino run the restaurant which Linda’s dad John Marto opened in 1969. Linda remembers when Anne Polaro, sister to former Jersey City Mayor Anthony Cucci painted the murals depicting Italian scenes on the restaurant’s walls. “Mayor Cucci was a friend of my dad’s,” Linda says. “I watched her do them; it took her two weeks.” Marto, who is now 85 regularly comes around to lend a hand and make sure the restaurant runs smoothly; but Linda and Bitsy are in charge these days with Bitsy cooking alongside
Chef Jose Marti in the kitchen; and Linda running the front of the restaurant. Their philosophy is simple, she says. “We want everybody who comes here to feel warm and welcome and enjoy great food,” Linda says. “Everything we serve we make at home. We don’t skimp. We use good meat from Maloney’s meat market on Newark Avenue; and everything we serve is cooked to order.” Lunch specials are served 11:30 am-3 pm, Monday through Friday, and you can order dishes like Melanzane Parmagiana (eggplant with mozzarella and tomato sauce); Broiled Basa (fresh filet with butter and lemon); Homemade Meatballs; Thin Sliced NY Strip Steak on Garlic Bread with Italian Potatoes; Pork Chop Giambotta (potatoes, onions, cherry peppers, and mushrooms in brown sauce); Pollo a la Parmagiana; Ravioli; Grilled Chicken; and Trippa (tripe) in red sauce. Everything is served with soup or salad for $9.95. No kidding, $9.95!
And if you think that’s a good deal, on Thursdays its “All You Can Eat Pasta Night” where for $8.95 you can have endless pasta and a glass of wine. No kidding, $8.95! “We’ve been doing ‘All You Can Eat Pasta Night’ for 20 years,” Linda Paldino says. “It used to be $7.95; we raised it a dollar.” The menu offers Italian Appetizers, Pasta, Entrees, Specialties of the House and Desserts. Appetizers include Fresh Clams on the Half Shell, Mussels Marinara, Shrimp Cocktail, Scungilli Salad, Clams Oreganata, Shrimp Scampi, Fried Calamari, Sauté Broccoli Rabé and Sauté Long Hot Peppers ($5-$15). Pastas feature Stuffed Rigatoni, Homemade Cheese Ravioli, Penne with Vodka Sauce, Linguini with Red or White Clam Sauce, Linguini with Garlic & Olive Oil, Linguini Marinara, and Meatball or Sausage Sides ($4-$18). Entrees come with house salad and pasta and include seafood dishes like Basa Oreganato, Shrimp
Page 16 -February 1st-February 17th, 2015 River View Observer
Peppers. There are several veal dishes, too, and a NY Strip Steak ($15-$24). For dessert, Homemade Italian Cheesecake, Tartufo, and Cannoli ($5); and Espresso and Cappuccino ($2-$3). The Barge Inn owners “Bitsy” and Linda Paldino “We are the with Chef Joey Marti. last of the authentic Italian restaurants (Oreganata, Fra Diavalo, in Jersey City,” Linda says. Scampi or Parmagiana), “This is home-cooking to Shrimp Marinara, Fried Shrimp, Calamari Marinara the people who live in the neighborhood, especially over Pasta, and Broiled Lobster Tails ($20-$22; lob- the young people who bring in their parents. It’s a ster tails are market price). Specialties of the House family place.” The Barge Inn also offers include Pork Chops Bitsy a kitschy romantic setting (with potatoes, onions, for couples, especially with sweet or hot peppers), the electric fireplace. And Chicken a la Barge (with for Valentine’s Day, the resprosciutto, mozzarella, taurant is offering a special pimentos and mushrooms), $85 Surf & Turf dinner for Roasted Half Chicken, two on Friday and SaturChicken Breast, Chicken day nights, Feb. 13 & 14. Milanese, Chicken Savoy Couples can dine on 8-oz. and Grilled Chicken with Filet Mignon (2) Sauté Broccoli Rabé or Cont’d on page 17 Spinach and Hot Vinegar

with potatoes and veggies; 8-oz. lobster tails (2) accompanied by ravioli in vodka sauce; and salad. The Yelp.com reviews are pretty spectacular and this one from Garreth G. of Union City says it all pretty well: “Thursday night’s all you can eat pasta of your choice with a glass of wine (red or white… I could just stop there and finish my review but this place deserves more….What really made the pasta delicious was the sauce. They do have a vegetarian option but I got the meat sauce which had great depth of flavor of tomato, herbs, and seasonings. I barely needed any salt and pepper. I personally had 3 plates of pasta and each time was a different type of pasta noodle…The Barge
Inn has character that you rarely see any more especially with all the other restaurants popping up in DTJC.” Two regulars, Brian O’Day and Betty Kennan stopped by on a recent Thursday night for their favorite dishes. “I like the pork chop,” O’Day says, “and Betty likes the Chicken Invotini which is Chicken Rollatini with prosciutto, mozzarella in a tomato Alfredo sauce.” “The meatballs are great, too,” Keenan says. “They remind me of my mother’s.” If you go: The Barge Inn Restaurant 324 Third St Jersey City (201) 420-3268

Doors Tribute Band:STRANGE DAYS & SYREN NATION take the stage at Bayonne’s LOT 13 “Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin.” STRANGE DAYS, The newest Doors Tribute band, will be rocking a debut performance on Saturday February 21st at LOT 13 in Bayonne. STRANGE DAYS is a newly formed band consisting of all natives of Bayonne. Front Man Larry Bolger will be taking on the role as Jim Morrison. In addition to sounding like Mr. Mojo Risin’, “Larry has captured
many of Jim’s Nuances.” says guitarist Greg Bukshowany who will be emulating Robbie Krieger’s riffs. On the drum kit will be Phil Romano, Bass guitar is Joe Garofalo and on the keys, is Bill Long doing his version of Ray Manzarek. Close your eyes and listen. You will be amazed at how close STRANGE DAYS comes to sounding like the Original. After witnessing Larry “Mojo” Bolger do his transformation,
you will swear he is filled with the Indian spirit of Jim Morrison. In addition to the great music, there will be a video showing clips of The Doors, as well as, other imagery from the psychedelic 60’s. STRANGE DAYS will be doing all your Doors favorites including “Light My Fire,” L.A. Woman,” “Riders on the
Storm,” “When The Music’s Over” to name a few. The opening act will be SYREN NATION. SN’s Lead Singer is Michele Spina White. Michele is no stranger to performing in and around the Bayonne area. Her powerful pipes allow her to do the most difficult of classic rock
artists. Heart, Janis Joplin, Pat Benatar, Boston, Journey and AC/DC are only a few she covers. If you are a true Doors fan and love classic rock you will not be disappointed with this show. “And that is the reason we call it a show and not a bar gig.” says Larry Bolger. If You Go: Sat., Feb. 21st 10pm Lot 13 169 Avenue E (corner of 18th St.) 201-535-5066 No cover charge
