I would recommend it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2770239 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 13:05:35 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2770239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Sorry for the late reply! Definitely cross the bridge for a walk around the main street in New Hope. So cute and great restaurants there. Triumph is a must if you like beer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768852 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 19:39:28 +0000 Periwinkle 2768852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: So, so many good places! Lambertville Station is a good, reliable place. Try having a drink down in the wine cellar- that's fun. </p> <p>If you cross the bridge in New Hope, PA (you walk across the bridge), check out the Blue Moose for brunch, the Landing for a nice drink/meal on the water, or Triumph for a good burger, beer, and live music. Many people I know love Marsha Brown's (creole/cajun) but I have not been myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768850 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 19:15:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2768850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just booked an inn in Lambertville! @Mrs. Pajamas: @lioneyes: @2PeasinaPod: @Periwinkle: @littlebug: any must dos or favorite restaurants? We are just there for a day so won't get to do much I guess, but I'm looking forward to it! Haven't slept away from the kids since May 2016... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768775 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 20:45:56 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2768775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I grew up in central nj and highly recommend lambertville, French town or Stockton. Super cute inns. Lambertville has the most restaurants probably. Can give specific advice if you go for that area. Dh and I will be doing the same in September. Can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768687 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 09:05:20 +0000 lioneyes 2768687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd Lambertville House is very cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768653 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 19:50:54 +0000 Alba4 2768653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We once stayed in a Bed and breakfast in Long Branch. There are some decent restaurants in that town too. Check out Bay Head or Spring Lake too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768643 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:47:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 2768643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any favorite inns in New Hope area? We really want a king size bed, and otherwise aren't too picky. Preferably under $300 I guess (though less is better!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768642 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:44:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2768642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: yeah Cape may is too far. We aren't really looking for city so Philadelphia is out, but in definitely looking at new hope and lambertsville. If that doesn't work I'll take a look at the shore towns. I just picture the shore like from my party days (I grew up in NJ so I'm not talking about the show 😂) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768620 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 16:31:44 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2768620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second (or third) Princeton, New Hope and even Philly if you are looking for some place not on the shore. Cape May is a great town but is probably more like 2-2.5 hrs depending on where you are in central NJ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768603 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:32:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2768603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from PA and love New Hope as well and even Peddler's Village is close by with good restaurants. But New Hope is really cute to walk through and window shop. It's got a great little town.</p> <p>As for shoretowns, we go to Avalon every year and love it. Not sure that's close enough to you though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768599 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:30:38 +0000 JLC53 2768599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love Asbury Park as an adult getaway. Tons of amazing restaurants. We stay at the Berkeley, but there is a new hotel called the Asbury that I have read amazing reviews about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768597 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:27:28 +0000 Periwinkle 2768597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for New Hope or Lambertville! Both are lovely, extremely walkable, and many great restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768595 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:21:39 +0000 lioneyes 2768595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Philadelphia! You could stay at a great hotel in Center City (maybe one with a rooftop pool) and then go to dinner/drinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768594 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:19:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2768594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: that's about an hour and a half from them, which is about the far end of doable. Looks like they have last minute deals too. </p> <p>@Tidybee: @littlebug: I'll look into new hope- I've heard of it but never been. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768586 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 13:49:18 +0000 littlebug 2768586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also going to suggest New Hope. There are cute little B&amp;Bs you can stay in and the downtown area has several restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768580 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 13:41:49 +0000 Tidybee 2768580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New hope, pa,Washington crossing, lambertville...that whole area is lovely. Also Princeton might be fun or if you're thinking beach - Spring Lake </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768578 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 13:37:16 +0000 Truth Bombs 2768578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're on the upper end of central this place is amazing <a href="http://www.crystalgolfresort.com/discover/photos/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crystalgolfresort.com/discover/photos/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-night-getaway-from-central-nj#post-2768572 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 13:31:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2768572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have offered to take the kids for a night when we visit them next week. Any suggestions for someplace to go within roughly an hour of central NJ? Looking for something peaceful, don't care about nightlife as long as there is at least a decent restaurant nearby. </p> <p>Possibly a shore town that's less party and more couple in their 30s who left their kids with the grandparents? Not really interested in NYC. Only one night, and I know a lot of places will have two night minimums. Thanks! </p>
