The New Era
When we think of "comfort food" restaurants in the Akron area, The New Era is an old favorite. Located at the intersection of E. Market St. and Massillon Rd. it has been serving Old World style meals for many years. On a recent lunch trip there with Grammie(Maralyn) we enjoyed Chicken Paprikash, spicy Serbian style sausage and sauteed chicken livers. The paprikash was tender pieces of chicken in a rich, but light sauce with dense,chewy dumplings. Grammie said she likes those better than the big, puffy dumplings and I have to agree. They were delicious. Their Serbian sausage reminded Dad of the Hungarian sausage Mabel used to make. They were well spiced with just a hint of heat. Dad had the chicken livers sauteed with onions and I even tried one. I'm glad he liked it. He said I may acquire a taste for them, but I have my doubts. The meal was finished with apple strudel which comes with the paprikash. They also feature a daily special some of which are duck and meatloaf. We also appreciated the bread basket served before the meal. The thick slices of crusty bread were chewy and flavorful. This definitely calls for a return trip because I will soon be hungry, again.
