Saw thrice last night, awesome show. This was our second concert at this venue, we like sitting side stage near the restroom (inches away from the bands entering the stage!), get there early this place gets packed. I invested in VIP parking both times, worth every penny for a nice parking spot and cutting the entire line on a cold rainy night! I appreciate the security team for being as tough as they are, you can't take chances today. The bartender was friendly and the drink prices are decent ($12 a beer at the wellmont theater compared to $7 at starland).

Just saw America perform this week--great concert and perfect example of how the State Theatre brings in many nostalgic bands in addition to children's events, a Broadway series with hot shows on Broadway, blues and jazz, comedians, and much more. Prices are reasonable compared to...MoreThanks William - glad you enjoyed the show!

Take a walk through the park any time of the year. We went in early March and enjoyed a brisk walk on the path. Midway, the park was quiet and peaceful. The scenery is an interesting break from the hustle bustle of the city.

Pool bar. Clean, good drinks, fun staff. Good neighborhood place. Only issue is the host a pool league every night so no one else can come in and just shoot a game for fun.

This is a great theater, even though it's gone through several managements in the last few years. You can't beat being able to book your seat in advance (although warning: don't wait until the last minute or you'll find yourself with no availability), and you can find good deals on the popcorn as well. Thumbs up!

We used to visit this park in late 90s when we were living in Iselin. When we visited a few weeks ago, we were delighted to see the park so much improved with facilities and upkeep. There are spots for picnics, playing, place for artists to perform and everything a good community park should have. Felt very nice to be here.

Tucked back in what might be thought of as Highland Park's back yard is this wonderful large park. It is easy to get to, and has loads of parking. There are baseball fields, and picnic tables. Benches are placed for nature walkers. There are exercise stations for health training. The park is bordered on the far side by the Raritan River.

We've arrived early (an hour after it opened on Saturday morning) and I'm glad we did. The place is great with vast variety of activities to keep anyone entertained for a while. However, as the number of visitors grew, so did the level of chaos and the concerns for everyone's safety. On the trampolines, for example, you could find a large size adult, a teenager and a toddler on the same trampoline square. There was a one monitor (all seemed to be of high school age) per activity and in 3 hours there, I've only heard maybe two safety related instructions. Nothing is wrong with hiring teenagers, but maybe a little bit more training and some adult supervision would be useful... We might try Urban Air Trampoline Park again to see if arriving at the opening time would make a difference.

Was looking for a place to meet up with another family with younger kids and the gardens were just right. Wonderful variety of flowering plants, vegetables, and fruits. We were there on a Saturday afternoon as university students were working in the gardens, and they were happy to talk about what they were growing and doing.

Information plaques are distributed around the property which indicate that by calling 732-377-1870 you can receive a self-guided tour of the village. If you are interested in more history and detail about the village this is your best bet. Official tours are conducted Tuesday-Friday (1:30pm) and Sunday (1:30pm). If you arrive early, the village opens at 8:30 am, go to the Barracks or Visitor's Center and someone will open the houses you request to see. The village is a collection of homes gathered from the surrounding area and date back to 1743 (Fitzrandolph House) including some built in the 1800's Homes are original, replicas or restorations. Be sure to see the interior of the Indian Queen Tavern. The tavern is staged with figures in period dress, photos and artifacts excavated from the area. See my pictures below for a preview of what you will see. There is no pressure while walking around and the entire experience is free. Less than a mile down the road is the Cornelius Low House which has exhibitions on various topics. The current exhibition is "New Jersey Diners". It's worth seeing and it to is free. Johnson Park is adjacent to the New Jersey Old Village and a great place to walk, picnic, etc. near the river. They have a lecture series which takes place in the Indian Queen Tavern from time to time.
