BUZZWORTHY Fairfield Wayne All the ingredients used at the ZEST juice bar and bakery are gluten- and dairy-free, and the baked goods, smoothies, juices and acai bowls are vegan, too.

The shop has Monday through Sunday hours. 16 Little Falls Road, (973) 439-9378, zesteats.com Wayne native RYAN ZAMO created, wrote and stars in the high- school comedy Back Stabber, which can be seen on Amazon.com. “I struggled a lot growing up, ‘cause I came out when I was 16 — that was 11 years ago — and given the era, I was really, really young to do so,” says Zamo, a former Wayne Valley student. His 11-episode series is set in an “uppity rich town” in Pennsylvania, and focuses on a group of high school friends who “stick together and love each other unconditionally.” They include two gay kids — the “loud, eccentric and boisterous” Isaiah (played by Zamo) and the “shy, smart, nerdy” Sam (Zack Kozlow).
