The street has "AA" lights all along the way, which is the abbreviation for Avenue of the Arts.

A local cultural arts center introduces active civilian's not only to the local scout or brownie bake sales, but a wonderful on going venue to express and experience a wide variety of typical and not so typical events. We've been to; concerts both in the auditorium and the outside stage, dance recitals, tumbling, expo's, network shops, food shows, plays and fairs. Of course EB day takes place here along of course with the 4th of July sensational fire works display which left our entire group covered in ash, lol ( perhaps they should check wind direction and crowd proximity next year ). The building is fairly modern and the staff always friendly. Tons of parking both on the grounds or through the Heavenly Farms fields. Unfortunately EB being one of the largest commuter towns in central NJ doesn't have a true Mayberry type Main street and really no place to collaborate with fellow local brethren. So come on out and meet your friends, neighbors, officials and be apart of the community, you owe it to yourself and your family.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has one of my favorite balances in the city: it feels grand,…read morecosmopolitan, and genuinely important, yet somehow never intimidating. My art knowledge is limited, but the museum has a way of making curiosity feel like enough, whether I'm wandering through the galleries, people watching, browsing the excellent store, grabbing something at the café, or bringing our daughter to the terrific kids' areas. The building and its setting at the end of the Parkway are spectacular, and the staff consistently bring a warmth and approachability that feels distinctly Philadelphian. I also enjoy simply passing it on a run or walk and seeing it presiding over this beautiful part of the city. Friday evenings may be my favorite way to experience it. The happy hours are a fantastic deal, parking is deeply discounted, and there is something wonderfully civilized about having a glass of rosé or two in a world-class museum while a cool, diverse crowd settles in for the evening. We brought our daughter with us, and she felt completely welcome, which says a lot about what the museum gets right: sophistication without stiffness, culture without exclusion. One of Philadelphia's great institutions, and one I feel lucky to have nearby. Très bien!

Inside is a ton of American history. Also, Japanese art, European art, and well pretty much art all around the world. Oh, and I love all of the Japanese samurai stuff. It's so cool seeing the armor warriors wore way back in the day when going into battle. Claude Monet, Picasso, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, amongst plenty of other famous artists have paintings here. We probably spent 90 minutes to 2 hours in here. That was enough for us. A fun way to start your morning.

A few years ago my parents went this festival, as there is Polish roots on my Mom's side (I'm…read morearound 25% polish). This was the first year I was able to attend and I was very impressed! The church the festival/fair is held on is beautiful and so are the views of the surrounding PA area. The landscaping for the grounds is also well done too, it really is in a great area. There is plenty of parking for the event with many staff members around to direct you to a spot. The festival isn't too expensive and neither is the food or beer! The Lech beer is my personal favorite, a few of those and you'll be feeling no pain. Of course, Pierogies are recommended. The fair is aimed towards younger kids but they have plenty of rides and activities and seemed like it would be fun. There is plenty of vendor tents to look at with a variety of merchandise, and the vendors/staff we all talked to are extremely friendly too. They also have many live shows from music to acrobatics. Plenty of benches to eat food at too. They even gave a 'casino' section to test your luck and possibly win some money too! There are bathrooms in the church cafeteria building but they also have many Porto potties, the cleanest I have ever seen! All in all, it was a fun little festival with plenty to do and the grounds they are held on are really grand. Whether you are Polish or not it's worth a stop by and it is a fun way to spend Labor Day weekend!!
