New Jersey has the best pizza, panzarotti, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches (pork roll/taylor ham with egg and cheese on a hard roll) in the country. Of this, I am certain. I am also very biased but I do think that many of us would agree that they’re great. If we’re talking best in the world, though, one dish stands out…sliders. Hamburger sliders, in particular.

If you live within a 50-mile radius of Hackensack, you're probably familiar with White Manna. This lovely little eatery has been a local favorite since 1946.

And when I say little, I mean little. There are a few countertop seats along the windows and in front of the grill. I doubt it's much more than a dozen.

As popular as it is, you'd expect it to get crowded. It definitely does, but that's all part of the experience.

The menu is just as tiny as the restaurant. There are hamburgers, cheeseburgers, double hamburgers, double cheeseburgers, steak sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, fries, and milkshakes.
