Things To Do

As most of you know, we are always going into NYC for a show, a concert, a new restaurant experience, or for sightseeing. However, a trip into NYC isn't going to be the most convenient from Somerset, unless you have at least a half a day to kill. Below are some of our favorite spots in Jersey that are much more convenient. If you desire specific recommendations, let us know! We'll point you in the right direction.

pastaRAMEN

6 South Fullerton Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042

Our absolute favorite restaurant in the state of New Jersey! It is a little out of the way from Somerset, NJ, but definitely worth making a reservation if you are visiting for the weekend. Italian Japanese fusion is a dream combo.

Kyma Greek Cuisine

24 East Main Street, Somerville, NJ 08876

We can't have a big fat Greek wedding without a Greek recommendation!

Main Street

Main Street, Somerville, NJ

Enjoy a little sweet treat at Blue Sheep Bake Shop, get a coffee next door at Ambee Coffee, browse the used and new books at Monty and Milo across the street, check out vinyl deals at Mono Mono Records around the corner, and then walk around the area to go antiquing and thrifting! This is Lexi's favorite pastime activity on a nice day.

Jersey Cyclone Brewing Company

14 Worlds Fair Drive, Franklin Township, NJ 08873

We first stumbled here because we took a Bonsai workshop here to cultivate new Bonsai trees for our home. Their craft beers are delicious, and they have a rotating variety on tap! While Jersey Cyclone Brewing does not serve food, you are able to bring your own or order a delivery. Great spot for a brew!

Tops Diner

500 Passaic Avenue, East Newark, NJ 07029

The nicest diner we have ever seen. This is a go-to spot for any visitors that stay with us in Jersey. Prices are a little on the high side for a diner, but the portions are HUGE. Please don't eat here on the day of our wedding because you won't be hungry.

Ryujin Sushi

1339 Prince Rodgers Avenue, Bridgewater, NJ 08807

Our local sushi spot never disappoints!

Washington Valley Park

Bridgewater, NJ 08807

If the weather is nice, walk along any of the trails at Washington Valley Park. Great place for local hikes with well-marked trails.

Burnt Mills Cider

3540 U.S. 206, Bedminster, NJ 07921

Our local cidery and our favorite cidery. Highly recommend trying a flight with their seasonal flavors! We never have a bad cider here.

Spooky Brook Public Golf Course

582 Elizabeth Avenue, Franklin Township, NJ 08873

We aren't golfers, but we know several of our guests are!
