I grew up in nj but have never been there.<br /> We live in a city and have for the past 10+ years, so another city just doesn't hold as much appeal, so prob not philly. </p> <p>@lawbee11: @SeptMomma12: my sister suggested that place too. Distance wise it's doable but looks like the only room available is crazy expensive. Need to do some more investigating on that. </p> <p>Thanks all for the suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1990104 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:42:56 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1990104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would recommend Philadelphia or Cape May, NJ! Philadelphia is nice if you want great restaurants, and a little bit of the city, and Cape May, NJ is such a cute little shore town. They have a beautiful space for walking and window shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1990041 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:17:37 +0000 lawbee11 1990041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: This place looks awesome!<br /> <a href="http://www.crystalgolfresort.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crystalgolfresort.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1990029 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:08:20 +0000 danda 1990029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Philadelphia - it's great for good dining, walking around, museums etc if desired. But it isn't as crowded/hustle and bustle as NYC. I agree with Poconos if you're anti-urban environment for this though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1990001 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 12:49:57 +0000 Trailmix 1990001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Catskills are another option that would be relaxing and beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989879 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 11:45:50 +0000 Chillybear 1989879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Atlantic City or Philly - Both have great resturants and you can probably find a cheap hotel deal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989790 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 11:06:09 +0000 BSB 1989790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would second the poconos, if you like the snow.</p> <p>Or if you prefer the city, a night in Philly would be my second choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989781 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 11:02:14 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1989781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The poconos? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989740 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:41:27 +0000 LindsayInNY 1989740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Philly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989634 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:50:29 +0000 SeptMomma12 1989634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been to a wedding here (which was very nice), but have quite a few friends who have done overnight/weekend stays and loved it: <a href="http://www.crystalgolfresort.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crystalgolfresort.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989617 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:43:57 +0000 Pirouette 1989617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about something like Cape May, NJ? it probably wouldn't be overly crowded this time of year so maybe you could get a last minute reservation... i don't know how far the drive would be, but you could also check out the Hudson Valley area and i'm sure you could find a nice cozy town with a reasonably priced hotel. I just don't know if it would be too far from central NJ.</p> <p>You don't find xmas in NYC relaxing?!?! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-minute-overnight-destination-in-nj#post-1989519 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 08:41:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 1989519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any NJ, NY, PA bees that can help- </p> <p>We are visiting my family in central NJ for Christmas. We've been floating the idea of taking one extra night and leaving C with my parents so DH and I can go away somewhere and relax, sleep without a baby waking us up, feel like a couple... All that good stuff. </p> <p>Any recommendations of a destination that's within an hour and a half of central NJ, has something interesting to do, good food to eat, for right after Christmas? Not NYC since I used to live there, too expensive, and we are looking more for relaxing than hustle and bustle. And of course doing this totally last minute. </p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions! </p>
