Nicholas Creamery
Located in Tinton Falls, Atlantic Highlands, Long Branch and Fair Haven. Soon to open in Middletown. They make the best handmade ice cream using the purest ingredients. My favorite ice cream flavor is Tahitian Vanilla with peanut butter sauce, whip cream and chocolate sprinkles.
SoJo Spa Club
This place is located in Edgewater. A great place to detox, offering outdoor and indoor pools, plunge pools and baths. There are 10 sauna rooms to help detox the body and many different services you can book. The best part is the view from the outdoor pool, it overlooks the Hudson River and you get the best view of the city.
Heirloom Kitchen
My favorite spot to eat! Farm to table dining where they offer chef’s table seating around their kitchen island so guests can watch Chef Viana and his team prepare wonderful dishes. The menu changes often featuring modern and playful takes on American classics. This restaurant also offers cooking classes each month and these classes book extremely quickly.
Pilates Blast
The best pilates studio ever! My favorite class is working out on the megaformer, this is pilates on steroids. The instructors are wonderful and they help motivate you to achieve your fitness goals.
Grounds of Sculpture
This breathtaking 42 acre sculpture park located in Hamilton NJ. Visitors can enjoy an outdoor permanent collection of over 270 sculptures as well as indoor seasonal exhibitions. Grounds for Sculpture is also a garden and arboretum, featuring paved terraces, pergolas, and courtyards juxtaposed with natural woodlands, ponds and groves of bamboo. This park also offers NJ’s premier dining at Rat’s Restaurant.
Wahoo Fish Taco
The best chain restaurant that offers Mexican food mixed with Brazilian and Asian flavors. This fast food casual restaurant has the best fresh and quality ingredients. My favorite dish is the protein bowl, I can eat this every day!
KITCH Organic
Grab and go place with organic healthy food. Who said gluten and dairy free food couldn’t be delicious! Everything on this menu is extremely tasty. They make the best gluten free bread ever, I recommend ordering a loaf to take home. One of my favorite dishes is the Garden Pesto Zoodle Bowl. During the week they only open for breakfast and lunch, so get there by 3:30.
Laurita Winery
Located in New Egypt. They offer so many different types of events there. My favorite event is going to the food truck festival. It’s a great place for the kids to run around, listen to bands play and drink delicious wines. Laurita Winery also has a bed and breakfast place where you can spend the night or the weekend. The breakfast that is prepared is to die for and they cater to your dietary needs.
