the DoorBot     



The DoorBot attaches to the front door jamb of a house, where the doorbell would normally go. Once connected to your home Wi-Fi, it alerts your smartphone whenever someone is at the door. You can then peer at them through the device’s camera and talk to them through two-way audio. That way, you can give them instructions if you’re not home.

Lunello Restaurant

                  My favorite restaurant is called LuNello. I go there on special occasions and with my friends and family. It is located in Cedar Grove, Nj. All the food is Italian, even the waiters. Every waiter has an Italian accent and they are all men. Although the place is expensive, the food is amazing.
                For my appetizers, my family gets the fresh mozzarella and tomato salad with balsamic dressing. Then for my entree I get either a homemade pasta dish or chicken parm. When the waiter comes to take your order he tells us over 40 specials which he has memorized. You can get anything you want from this restaurant as long as its Italian. You can even request dishes if you don't find anything you like.
             All the reviews on LuNellos are positive. Also they        are mostly five stars. The decor and the scenery is what really draws people in. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves their endless choices. Lunellos is the place to go!
