Things To Do
Alfonso's Trattoria
A family favorite, Alfonso's has been a cornerstone of Somerville since the 1970's. With something for everyone on the menu, it's a great spot for food, drinks, desserts, and atmosphere. Located in the heart of Downtown Somerville, there's plenty around here to explore when you need to walk off that Penne Vodka!
YESTERcades of Somerville
Located in the heart of Downtown Somerville, YESTERcades is a flashing, beeping, buzzing trip down memory lane filled with classic arcade, carnival and video games. Let your inner kid OUT with games like Skee-Ball, Pac Man, pinball, and Tetris, plus so much more! As a bonus, it's BYO after 9:00pm if you're looking for a fun late-night spot!
Washington Rock State Park
Located just minutes from The Stone House at Stirling Ridge, this free State Park is open from dawn until dusk and offers a spectacular uninhibited view that expands for miles. On a clear day one can see New York City to the East and New Brunswick to the South! A great spot for a picnic or a snapshot.
Princeton University Art Museum
Always free and open to the public, this spectacular art museum located on historic Princeton University's campus is well worth the drive. A favorite early-date spot of Michael and Sarah, this museum contains ancient art and sculptures as well as famous more modern artists such as Monet and Andy Warhol. While you're there, be sure to grab a local beer at the Triumph Brewery located just a few blocks away!
Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University
Another favorite early-date spot for Michael and Sarah. Free and open to the public, this expansive art museum is located very close by, on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University. This museum has wide collections of American and European art, as well as special seasonal exhibitions. While you're in New Brunswick, be sure and grab a sandwich at the world-famous Grease Trucks just up the block.
Grounds For Sculpture
This is another favorite date-spot of Michael and Sarah, and is truly a one-of-a-kind place. Part museum, part park, part upscale dining, Grounds for Sculpture contains surprises around just about every corner. Tickets and hours of operation are available on their website. It should be noted that GFS is mostly outside, so plan this visit on a nice weather day!
