Fourteen hungry members of the New Jersey Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC) converged for our usual monthly breakfast on Saturday, May 9, 2026, but this time, our selected diner was new to us: the High Point Diner on Route 18 in East Brunswick was the lucky recipient of our company. Despite the potential precipitation, six of Milano’s finest made the trek. In addition to my trusty ’67 GT 1300 Junior were a 164 sedan and four modern Giulia sedans, two of them the highfalutin Quadrifoglio model.

The wait staff were expecting us, and set us up at a large table in the rear of the diner. We had loads of room, but the live acoustics made it necessary to raise our voices to be heard. The food and coffee were excellent, and as always, we found plenty of topics to chat about, mostly automotive related.

Under increasingly threatening skies, I beat it out of there at 11 a.m. pronto, and despite an hour’s ride home, arrived with nothing more than light sprinkles decorating my windshield. The car has been running very well, and good thing, because we are departing this Friday for an overnight trip to Carlisle, PA for the annual import show. Over fifty Alfa Romeos are preregistered, so it should be an exciting event. Stay tuned and you’ll be able to read all about it next week!
