I was pleasantly surprised!…read more What a cool spot! Located not far from Prudential Center.. came here for Wednesday night karaoke. Found street parking with no meter which was great. Smaller spot, but you don't feel like you're on top of each other. It reminded me of a Village kinda spot.. very dark interior... but a whole vibe. Bathrooms were really clean.. nice bar in the back of the space. The only reason I will give it 4 is because even though the drinks were reasonably priced, the bartender wasn't making the best drinks... you could barely tell that there was any alcohol in them.. I had to order an extra shot just to make it taste good. I think she needed some help because she seemed sorta flustered in taking care of everyone. I would definitely return!! Especially for karaoke!

We stopped in out of curiousity to grab some dinner since we were in the area. When we arrived, there was no hostess that greeted us. We were told by the bartender/server to sit anywhere we would like. It appeared that there was a meeting about to take place as many members were sitting at the bar ordering drinks. There were only a few tables and a huge bar in the middle of the room. We were handed a few menus and just kept it simple with some burgers. They were surprisingly delicious and tasted super fresh. All of the burgers/sliders came with a side of tater tots or fries. Service was kind of slow but there was only one woman handling the bar and serving food. Overall, I would definitely come back for some drinks and a bite to eat.

Our bartender was super friendly and she had the best recommendations! There's beers on tap and lots of liquor on the shelf to choose from. The variety they had was really surprising to me. I usually like whiskeys and bourbons, but there were so many choices I wasn't sure what to try. Upon finding out I prefer sweeter drinks, she recommended the Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon. Her recommendations to others in our group was on point too. I will definitely come again if I'm in the area.

We were seated in the back area as there was about 8 to 10 of us. The well drinks (tito, margarita, etc) were priced at $10 and appetizers priced at the same. I ordered a lemon drop martini to drink, grilled oysters and steak crostini to eat. My grilled oysters were okay, except for one that has some "crunch"...lol to it. My steak was medium and cooked as ordered. But the show stopper was definitely the lemon drop martini, it was a good strong. So I ordered a second. The other girls really enjoyed their Caesar salad and mango margaritas. Our service was a bit slow, but good overall. Good happy hour spot, with a parking lot.

Also there is a parking lot, and they were offering valet when we went. I enjoyed the food I had as an entree (steak frites). What I didn't like was our waiter was constantly trying to up charge us. He kept asking if we wanted to add specific things to all our orders and even if we said no, he still insisted on it. This even occurred with shots of alcohol. I explicitly said I was driving and didn't want it and still shots were brought out with out us even asking. We thought maybe he was being very nice. Or maybe something was included we didn't know about ( what was added were things like a Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato fries so it easy to see how we didn't see it was things out of the ordinary included as sides for meals) or we were for some reason getting something comped, but that was not the case. Our bill was ASTRONOMICAL. If we didn't have these items we didn't want added on, it would have been fine but this type of way of doing business makes me never want to go back. We considered fighting the bill, but we did eat the food because at the time we thought it was either included or comped. Please be aware of this if you visit this restaurant, and if you are insisted upon adding things to your order learn from our mistake and ask more questions if it's included or make sure you explicitly say NO.

Located just west of the Passaic River waterfront in Newark, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) is one of the largest performing arts centers in the US and home to the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, bringing world-class entertainment. My partner, our friends, and I managed to obtain four tickets as well as parking via Ticketmaster in the orchestra row for this Saturday event called "Hollywood in New Jersey," featuring some of the most iconic film music of all time performed by the New Jersey Symphony with guest conductor David Newman and an award-winning German pianist, Sebastian Knauer. Upon arrival as first-timers at the Prudential Hall, we were greeted by the staff. The interior architecture was breathtaking and felt like stepping back in time to the golden age of theater. There were three levels that can be accessed by stairs or an elevator and seat approximately 3,000 spectators. The event kicked off with a special introductory from NJ Governor Phil, and his wife, Tammy, spoke about the Garden State being the new Hollywood of the East and recounted the experience with the German pianist while they were ambassadors in Germany. The venue offered a clear stage view, great acoustics, and comfortable seating. We were very surprised with how clean and polished everything looked. A gigantic ball-shaped chandelier caught our eyes. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking in Military Parking Garage was a breeze, with plenty of options nearby. Just keep in mind that exiting the local garages after a show could take a little time, as many patrons were leaving at once. The staff did a great job directing traffic out of the garage. An excellent evening all the way around. We're definitely looking forward to visiting again.

The owner also engineers at request, he has been in business for 20 years so he definitely gets it ! It kind of has a hip hop vibe as most popular Jersey rappers use this place as home base. As a songwriter it is very important to find the right vibe in order to create so I must say once you get past the door and into the live room that door closes and it's just you and the music. The rates are unbeatable and when I booked 5 hours I got the 6th hour free . You can bring your own tracks and they also make tracks on the spot . It is DEFINITELY Urban ! But the environment inside and parking is safe. For the most part they can always get my business when I'm not working from my home set up or heading to NYC.

It's located on the side of the Prudential Center, but it was a little confusing walking around to find the entrance. There are some museum-general things, different versions of the award, some images of different winners, and some interactive things where you can put on headphones and pretend to play instruments or watch videos of different winners. The main part was completely empty when I went. The "special exhibit" is where a few other people were. At my visit it was about Taylor Swift, so it featured a lot of her costumed and signed memorabilia and some clips of her home videos as a kid and a big wall graphic of her magazine covers. It was nifty, but an exhibit would be more interesting due to longevity of career. She's still establishing. There was a room with a video playing and a list of all her albums/songs. One woman was sitting watching that video the entire time I read the exhibit information, so it was really entrancing to some. I was probably here about 30-45 minutes, because it is small. If the temp exhibit is an artist you like and you're already in the area, it can be a neat exhibit. I would have been disappointed paying for parking if this was all I was going to see.

I checked out the New Moon Reading Series at Luna Stage this month. According to the website, "New Moon Readings provide playwrights an opportunity to hear their work read aloud by professional actors, and to receive supportive yet constructive feedback." For viewers, it's an opportunity to see a creative work in progress and hear directly from the playwright, which I thought was really cool. I randomly came across the read-through of TRAD on their website, and booked tickets online (free - but you can also donate what you wish). It was a neat experience and would recommend it!

Luna has a pay what you want policy which is great but this time I wish it was a pay after you view the show.
