Annual Gooch's Garlic Run motorcycle ride calls Newark its new home

Some 2,000 motorcycle riders hit the streets for a good cause today at the 24th annual Gooch's Garlic Run. The event, organized by the law enforcement motorcycle association the Blue Knights and named for retired Andover Township Police Lt. Al "Gooch" Monaco, raises money for sick and injured children. For nearly a quarter century, Gooch's Garlic Run has ended with garlic-infused dinners in Manhattan's Little Italy. But after permitting problems thwarted the run last year, the event was moved to Newark's Ironbound district. Motorcycles lined Ferry Street as riders gathered outside Iberia restaurant for an evening of live music, food and drink. Correction: this story erroneously stated that the Rockaway Townsquare mall is in Sussex County. Rockaway is in Morris County. (Video by Nyier Abdou and Andre Malok/The Star-Ledger)
