Hackensack Brewing

Reviewed By GeoBarnes - West Orange, United States

These guys are fantastic! Hard to do outdoor gatherings in January, but they have set up the parking lot with fire pits, heaters and make it actually warm and cozy despite the weather. They even have several tent/pods to help eliminate the wind on a breezy night. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. They go out of their way to take care of you, and couldn't be nicer. We drive nearly a half hour to get to the brewery because it's worth the trip.

The Shops at Riverside

Reviewed By arissalovesart

The Shops at Riverside have undergone a lot of recent changes in the past few years. Many of my favorite stores have moved to Garden State Plaza (Burberry and Kate Spade NY to name a couple). However, Riverside offers Bloomingdales, Lilly Pulitzer, Cole Haan, Hermes, LK Bennett, Fountain Spa, and overall better restaurants compared to GSP. 9 times out of ten you'll find parking right away, it has some of the more conventional shops like HM and JCrew as well. I'm very excited for the new Sephora opening up and the eyebrow lady is excellent. There is no food court because it's not really that kind of mall. Overall, I think it's worth giving Riverside a chance of you're looking to buy an upscale gift, check out a movie, or eat at a great restaurant in northern Bergen county. Don't let the ongoing construction dissuade you, the improvements are noticeable.

Gone here many times over the years and always interesting. Great place to bring the kids to get an education about the Navy and its history. So glad this place is here.
