458 Eagle Rock Ave
West Orange, NJ 07052

Don't let this place's modest location and small size fool you. This is our favorite sushi spot! They offer a free miso soup, salad and sample roll to share.
​
You must enjoy a New Jersey bagel while in town. You are either the a "Taylor ham, egg and cheese" person or a "cream cheese and lox" person. Choose your side wisely and enjoy! We've included the two closest bagel shops to the hotel below.

Manhattan Bagel

Experience a "Jersey Diner" and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner 24-hours a day in one of our retro-looking diners. Try the "disco fries" with gravy on the side.
775 Bloomfield Ave.,
West Caldwell, NJ 07006
​
Don't leave New Jersey without enjoying our version of a sub, hoogie, grinder, sandwich. Whatever you call them, we do them better :)

Located in Montclair, this gastropub restaurant features a small but unique menu filled with delicious drinks and many french fry options and small bites.
​
292 Bloomfield Ave

​
Another Montclair gem, which has great Greek food. But be sure to bring your own wine as it's BYOB.
​
173 Glenridge Ave
Montclair, NJ 07042
​
If you are looking for good Italian food while in the area, check out this place and bring wine, as it's BYOB.
​
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse
1221 Ave Of The Americas
New York, NY 10020
​
While located in NYC, this is Dan's favorite place to enjoy a steak. While it's a little pricey, it's definitely worth the trip but make a reservation before you go.
​
The Malls
Take your pick between Garden State Plaza, Willowbrook Mall or Short Hills. Note: Garden State Plaza isn't open on Sundays.
​
Hoboken​
This city on the water offers amazing views of NYC and great places to eat and drink. Beware of parking and, when possible, park in a parking garage.
​
Just a short train or bus ride away, we definitely recommend heading into the city while in the area. Visit www.nycgo.com for things to do.
​
Princeton​
About an 1.5 hour car ride away, Princeton is a great town featuring the ivy-league university, good food and shopping, and a rich history.
​
Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park
One of our country's largest waterfalls is only about 15-20 minutes from our ceremony, reception and hotel venues.
​

​
​
For the true "Jersey experience", head to Seaside Heights and enjoy iconic Jersey Shore things like a boardwalk, games, fried food and drinks. If you would still like a boardwalk experience plus good restaurants and nice gift shops, head to Bruce Springsteen's old stomping grounds, Asbury Park. If you want a more quiet beach without the boardwalk kitschiness, enjoy Long Beach Island.
​
Feeling lucky? Make the 3-hour drive down the parkway to the casinos in AC or enjoy a show.
​
Buy tickets in advance and enjoy a show in New York City.
​
Philadelphia​
If you feel like exploring Philadelphia, it's a bit less than 2 hours from the hotel, and there are plenty of tours and things to do there in early summer.
