Things To Do

If you know us well, you know we love food. These are some of our favorite spots we frequent in the area. Please note that many restaurants in Montclair are BYOB (there is usually a wine store next door). Reservations are highly recommended.

The Highlawn

1 Crest Drive, West Orange, NJ 07052
, (973) 731-3463

This is our favorite restaurant with a gorgeous city skyline view.

Halcyon

114 Walnut Street, Montclair, NJ 07042

One of the bride's favorite spots for seafood & cocktails. Be sure to make a resy!

Egan & Sons

118 Walnut Street, Montclair, NJ 07042

Our go-to upscale pub. The Groom gets the classic double with a side salad. The Bride loves the miso roasted cauliflower.

Le Salbuen Cafe

97 Walnut Street, Montclair, NJ 07042

Healthy brunch or dinner! Great options for our vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free friends (the opposite side of the menu is for our meat lovers).

SLA thai restaurant

596 Valley Road, Montclair, NJ 07043

Excellent Thai in Upper Montclair. Enjoy lunch or dinner then walk Valley Road to explore a different part of town.

Sushi Koshi

109 Watchung Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07043

Our Friday night date spot.

Stamna Taverna

1055 Broad Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07003

Our go to Greek restaurant. If it's nice, we always sit outside.

Porta Montclair

499 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042

Casual Italian close by all the festivities. The second floor turns into a dance party on the weekends which may be where some people end up after the wedding.

Raymond's

28 Church Street, Montclair, NJ 07042

Upscale diner. The farm salad with grilled chicken and the matzo ball soup is a winner.

Bluestone Coffee Co

123 Watchung Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07043

Stephen Colbert & Jerry Seinfeld had coffee here on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Excellent breakfast/brunch spot. See if you can spot the Mother of the Groom's art on the walls. ;)

Toast Montclair

700 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042

Worth the wait! The Bride recommends putting your name in then taking a stroll down Bloomfield Avenue as they will text you when your table is ready. Everything is delicious but the lobster roll is the Bride's favorite.

Beyond the Bagel

219 Bellevue Ave, Montclair, NJ 07043

Grab a bagel and walk to Anderson Park to enjoy.

Red Eye Cafe

94 Walnut Street, Montclair, NJ 07042

Excellent coffee & brunch.

Star Tavern

400 High Street, City of Orange, NJ 07050

For the adventurous that like to go off the beaten path.... this is THE BEST PIZZA in Jersey (at least we think so!)

Holsten's Ice Cream, Chocolate & Restaurant

1063 Broad Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07003

Soprano and ice-cream lovers will want to check this spot out. It's where the last scene was shot and it's by far the best ice cream ever. It's been open for 83 years and uses only the best meat from Mastriano's deli across the street.

Bricklane Curry House, Upper Montclair, NJ

540 Valley Road, Montclair, NJ 07043

If you are feeling spicy.... this is the Groom's favorite Indian restaurant.

Milburn Deli Montclair

256 Park Street, Montcalir, NJ 07043

The Father of the Bride's favorite spot. If you mention sloppy joe's to him, you may be in a conversation about sandwiches for a few hours. (You were warned).

Eagle Rock Reservation

Prospect Avenue, West Orange, NJ 07052
, (973) 268-3500

We like to run up to the top of Eagle Rock to see the view of NYC or picnic up here.

Get a sneak peak and check out the art gallery during the day.
