New Seasonal Eatery, DIG, Is Opening In Somerset County On Wednesday

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The New York City-based, chef-centric eatery, DIG, is officially opening its first New Jersey location in The Village section of the Bridgewater Commons on Wednesday.

A ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration will take place at 11 a.m. on March 15 at 610 Commons Way Suite 4310 in Bridgewater. The location is next to Starbucks and Shake Shack in The Village section of the Bridgewater Commons.

Company officials, executives from Trademark Property Company, Bridgewater Mayor Matthew Moench and other civic leaders will be at the celebration.

The 2,069-square-foot restaurant’s first 100 guests will be given free tote bags with Spindrift sodas. Additionally, DIG is donating the proceeds from its first day of walk-in sales to the Raritan Food Pantry

"We’re delighted to bring DIG to New Jersey," said Troy Fischer, Senior General Manager of Trademark Property Company, manager of Village at Bridgewater Commons and the adjacent enclosed shopping center Bridgewater Commons. "So many of our guests are already familiar with its fine, quick-service offerings because they work in New York City. Now, they can get that quality and convenience close to home."

"DIG is committed to shopping from local suppliers (those within 300 miles of its restaurants) and even has leased a farm in Orange County, New York, to provide top-quality ingredients at an affordable price and to support small farms," according to DIG.

Its seasonal menu is scratch-cooked and includes everything from composed market plates like the Classic DIG (charred chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, charred broccoli with lemon, brown rice with garlic aioli) to house-made focaccia club sandwiches.
