While Bon Jovi rocks The Rock, who remembers when he played The Raritan Manor on the old Somerville Circle back in the beginning of his career? This club started as a diner with a liquor license and remodeled and opened as a full blown nightclub with a disco room and a rock room before it was sold and turned into a Wiz store. It still is an electronics store. The old owner Nick, is still in the diner business. What Greek isn't? He owns the Menlo Park Diner on Rt.1, the big chrome one by the mall.
In Fact on 10-15-88, The Raritan Manor was the site of Bon Jovi's world premiere fan club party for the start of their "New Jersey" 1988-1990 Tour.
