Black ate lunch with family and friends Friday at 1776 by David Burke featuring TopGolf Swing Suite. The actor, comedian and musician even took some pictures with staff.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee is no stranger to the Garden State. Some of "School of Rock" was shot in a house in Franklin Lakes. "Be Kind Rewind" tells the story of a VHS rental-store owner in Passaic.
