Restaurant news: New hot dog eatery coming to Collingswood

Restaurant news in South Jersey:

Philly's Texas Wieners brings its brand of hot dog to the LumberYard development in Collingswood next month. The Snyder Avenue chain, around since 1923, will occupy the former Sportz Dogz, which lasted less than a year.

Yamato Japanese Restaurant, a longstanding fixture at Voorhees' Eagle Plaza, also has closed, a sign on the door citing the "economic downpour." Other closings: San Miguel Mexican Cuisine in Voorhees and Apollo Pizza and Mediterranean Catering in Cherry Hill.

Cherry Hill native Daniel Stern will close his Philly restaurant Gayle Sept. 4. He's is focusing on two new Philly places: MidAtlantic next month and R2L in November.

Collingswood channels creativity into TV shows

By LAVINIA DECASTRO
Courier-Post Staff

Step aside, Hollywood. Collingswood TV is moving beyond the usual public access programming of Little League games, government meetings and municipal events and producing regularly scheduled shows with a local flavor.

A group of enthusiastic volunteers already have two shows in production -- "Dish," which focuses on local businesses, and "Optical Toys," showcasing locally produced live action and animated short films -- and more are in the works.

"This is one of our first stabs at regularly shot shows, something that people can tune in every couple of weeks to watch regularly," said borough spokeswoman Cassandra Duffey, who is in charge of programming for the station. "They have the desire to make it as good as anything else on TV."

Dogs in heat are fashionable once again in Collingswood. At least they are Saturday (Aug. 16) as Powell Lane (off Haddon Ave. by the LumberYard) hosts the Second Annual Dog Days of Summer from noon to 3 p.m. There will be a Pooch Parade for your favorite costumed canines, vendors selling the latest doggie accessories, booths for pet portraits and more. Admission is free, but there's a $5 fee for the Pooch Parade and contest. Contest categories include most creative, most comical and best of show, and a portion of the proceeds benefit animal causes. For more information, call (856) 858-9275 or visit www.collingswood.com.

New restaurant on Haddon Avenue

Collingswood’s restaurant row – Haddon Avenue – adds to its menu Wednesday with the opening of Café AmericanA, a new bistro at the corner of Haddon and Collings, home to the former Treehouse coffeehouse. The Treehouse moved Audubon last year, although a portable version is on hand serving coffee and baked goods every Saturday the Collingswood Farmer’s Market. Café AmericanA is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers a European-inspired menu including some French fare.
