Walking into Sings Bakery, the combination of sugar, flour and shortening create a delectable aroma while the inviting glass cases filled with cakes, torts, cupcakes and pies line the perimeter of the shop. Many businesses on Main Street come, go and relocate, but Bings has been a mainstay since 1946. "We make the best product we know how," says Mrs. Selena Bing, owner of the bakery, "and use the best ingredients, too." Mrs. Bing and her husband met while they were schoolteachers near Altoona, Pa.

No matter what the florescent sign adorning the glass facade of Peace a Pizza tries to teH us, we think it is the best pizza in Newark. Across from the galleria on Main Street, the five-year-old restaurant wins the competitive award on the pizza parlor-heavy street for its delicious pies, chill environment and unique delivery truck. With a menu featuring offbeat fla vors that sound like an order from a diner, each slice eats like a meal. From the barbecue chicken to the baked ziti pizza, each scrumptious bite begs for another. Be careful, though, the over stuffed slices have a tendency to get a little messy. Chocolate chip cookies are also available for those with a sweet tooth.
