November 2, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 17 Blue Moon Mexican Café, located in the Boulder Run Shopping Center at 327 Franklin Avenue in Wyckoff, is a great place to meet friends and enjoy weekend football games being played all over the country. Owner Howie Felixbrod recently added the NFL package to his popular eatery, and invites football fans to stop by on Saturdays and Sundays to follow their favorite teams while they enjoy his café’s award-winning Mexican fare. In February, Felixbrod opened the new, expanded area of Blue Moon and began serving Margaritas, beer, sangria, and many other selections from the café’s new full-service bar. Blue Moon now features a beautiful bar with three large HD TVs. “We also have live music, especially on Friday nights,” Felixbrod said, adding that many local bands are invited to entertain. “We’ve become the happenin’ place to hang out.” Although Blue Moon Mexican Café has been a fixture in Wyckoff for 11 years, Howie and Vice President of Operations Colleen Grennan have never stood still. Innovations are always on the menu here – including the café’s new menu that will be coming out this month. Be sure to stop by and see what’s new.
