Making a weekend out of the wedding? Here are some of our favorite places and things to do in the area of the hotel, the venue, or on your way to and from the Airport!
Crystal Springs Resort - Golf, Spa, and Culinary Resort near NYC
The No. 1 Public Golf Course in New Jersey, modeled after a Scottish Links Course.
Downtown Sparta/Lake Mohawk Boardwalk
County Road 613, Sparta, NJ 07871
A favorite area of Lindsay and Chris's in the fall. Walk along the boardwalk, or grab a bite on it at il Porto. Krogh's is a favorite for good food and better beer, and the St. Moritz is sure to be festive for Oktoberfest.
Stone Water at 3 Peaks Marina
125 New Jersey 181, Jefferson, NJ 07849, (973) 810-3858
Great Waterfront Restaurant!
Biergarten at the Appalachian Hotel
200 NJ-94, Vernon Township, NJ 07462
Outdoor Drinking Patio frequented by skiers coming off the slopes. In the fall, the area is a hotspot for mountain bikers using the trails and is a GREAT people-watching experience.
Mohawk House
517, Sparta, NJ 07871, (973) 729-6464
Industrial Farmhouse Decor and Pat LaFrieda Steaks - one of our favorite restaurants around!
Krogh's Restaurant & Brew Pub
23 White Deer Plaza, Sparta, NJ 07871, (973) 729-8428
Great, simple, food and a good beer selection. Need a place to grab a drink before the wedding, but not staying at the hotel? Stop here.
Lake Hopatcong
NJ
New Jersey's Largest Freshwater Lake! Rent a boat and dock at many of the restaurants along the water, including the Windlass and Stone Water on this list!
Scalini Fedeli
63 Main Street, Chatham, NJ 07928, (973) 701-9200
Our favorite restaurant in NJ. After we were engaged, this is where we went. Get the soft egg yolk raviolo, and save room for dessert.
Morristown
Morristown, NJ 07960
The College Town trying to be a big city. Home of Chris's first apartment back in NJ, and most of Lindsay and Chris's first three years together. Bar Hop along the Green, or grab a bite at Jockey Hollow's Oyster Bar.
Stirling Tavern
150 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960, (973) 993-8066
Our First Date! Great cocktails and a really good burger.
Iron Bar
5 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960, (973) 455-7111
If for some reason you wanted a generic NJ "clubbing" experience ... go here. We don't really recommend it, but felt like it had to be included.
