This World War II-era photo (courtesy of Don Pringle) shows the bartender and patrons at Orlando's Tavern at 19 Wall St. in Raritan. Covering the walls are thank you notes from GIs who received care packages from bar owner Tony Orlando.
This and other classic photos of places to wet one's whistle in New Jersey will appear in a gallery titled "Vintage photos of bars and taverns in N.J." on Jan. 19 on nj.com.
