Despite the challenges of the pandemic and the severe restrictions facing restaurants, renowned Chef David Burke managed to open three new restaurants in New Jersey over the past year. And now he’s preparing to open the fourth – Red Horse by David Burke, on the site of the former Fromagerie in Rumson. The prospective opening date is March 24.
“It’s a landmark property in a really great community,” Burke said of the site on the corner of Ridge Road and Avenue of the Two Rivers. “It’s a part of the fabric of the community without a doubt and I’m very happy to bring it back to the highest level of dining in New Jersey.”

Big Easter weekend for Tobago hoteliers
Tobago is expecting a bumper Easter weekend with Trinidadians flocking to the island.
Responding to Newsday via WhatsApp on Tuesday, Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association (THTA) president Chris James said villas and self-catering properties are the top sellers for the long weekend.
“Easter weekend has seen an increase in bookings and presently stands at 49 per cent across all property types with villas and self-catering doing best,” James said.
Hinting at the limited availability of tickets on both the air- and seabridge, he said the association is advocating for more flights.
“We will be speaking to the authorities to increase ticket availability for Easter. Both the airbridge and sea bridge have limited tickets available, in fact properties are now seeing cancellations from those that have reserved accommodation without confirming tickets to travel.”
