Thursday’s NFL Draft kicked off the start of a year of festivities and events in Montclair leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII. A portion of Glenridge Avenue was closed down in front of The Clubhouse Thursday night as residents gathered there to watch the NFL Draft and celebrate the coming of the Super Bowl to the Meadowlands in eight months. The NFL Draft Night Party was the first of many events that will be put on by the Montclair 2014 Super Bowl Host Committee. “Since the draft is the first event for the NFL for the upcoming season, we decided to have a draft night party,” said Member of the Super Bowl Committee and former councilman Brian Scantlebury. “It’s all to drum up support for our activities throughout the year.” The evening was …

A news outlet is reporting Rutherford officials are contemplating offering liquor licenses citywide during the Super Bowl in February 2014. Would this work in Montclair?
In a town with hundreds of restaurants and eateries to choose from, one thing Montclair lacks is liquor licenses. But as Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford approaches, a nearby city is pondering a move to lift the ban on liquor licenses for two weeks in February 2014 for the big game, according to NorthJersey.com. Think of this as an informal survey and vote below whether you think it’s a good idea to allow restaurants throughout Montclair to serve you a glass of beer or wine for a short period in February 2014 — if local officials could do it. While there are only a handful of liquor licenses in Montclair, most restaurants are BYOB and cater to customers bringing their own wine or beer. And it is a familiar sight…
Commentary at the party will be provided by Montclair TV34’s Three Wise Men, Mike from Montclair, Al from White Plains and Dennis from Yonkers.

Montclair State University's Family and Child Studies Professor Jonathan Caspi, Ph.D., talks about the sibling dynamics involved in one of the biggest stage in the world.
Forget the Manning Bowl, because Super Bowl XLVII will feature a brother-verse-brother head coach match-up. For the first time in Super Bowl history, the two head coaches pitted against one another will be brothers. On Sunday starting at 6:30 p.m., John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens will compete against his younger brother Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers.

Baltimore Raven Joe Flacco said he believed MetLife Stadium should get a retractable dome if they want to host the Super Bowl in Bergen County.
Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Joe Flacco doesn't think much of plans to hold the Super Bowl at Bergen County's MetLife Stadium next year. When Denver Post reporter Mike Klis asked Flacco for his thoughts about the "cold weather" venue, the Super Bowl-bound quarterback said he thought it was "retarded," then, correcting his language, called it "stupid," according to a post on DenverPost.com. "If you want a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium. Then you can get one," Flacco said, according to the post. "Other than that I don’t really like the idea. I don’t think people would react very well to it, or be glad to play anybody in that kind of weather.” Flacco, who grew up in South Jersey, won't have to worry about the weather when…

This column is ending, but these Magic Bars and apple cake will see you through the winter.
Hello, loves. Since this will be my last Sunday Night Supper column, I thought I’d go out with a bang. I love to cook, but I love to bake even more, and what I love the most is when someone shares a recipe that she (or he) really loves and this new dish turns out to be shockingly spectacular. This happened New Year’s weekend. Every year since Y2K, we've been going to my brother's house in Montclair for New Year's. It's always a heady crowd, literally and figuratively. My sister-in-law Nancy is a psychologist. She has two sisters. One is a high-powered TV executive who is married to a psychoanalyst. Another sister, a law professor, used to be married to a psychiatrist and is now married to a physics professor. My sister-in-law's mother …
