Need a car, nothing to walk to, but if you are visiting your kids they can ride a Rutgers bus to the inn. No food, but delivery services, difficult to find, signage not great.

The artist is a very kind and talented person with a beautiful style. I always loved seeing what he had just finished and what pieces he was working on. There is not a lot of foot traffic, as you might suspect, so if you pop in, you'll most likely have the place to yourself to wander and admire. It won't take you too long, as it is just one room. In addition to showcasing the owners work, they also highlight artists work from all over, depending on what their current exhibition is highlighting. Everything is worth seeing, but I especially loved when they had a photography exhibition. If you are looking for a place to pop into while in one of my favorite towns, you should make Alfa one of your stops.

We were here for the Vipul Goyla show (Indian Standup comedian) in June 2024. It is right in the…read moredowntown of New Brunswick and easy to reach, it reminds me of the district of any big city. There are a couple of more theaters nearby. It was not a big auditorium, we were in an auditorium (James M. Cahill Stage), with a capacity of app 500 folks. The show started on time, with no interruptions, Show went well and, after that, we got a chance to take a photo with Vipul Goyal- that was unexpected. The sound was perfectly balanced and good, with no issues in lighting- that's up to the Showrunners. Even seat arrangments, and view of the stage- it was good. A small bar and snack counter are there and enough restrooms- so it's all there . After the show, there were many restaurants nearby so no hassling in finding good restaurants as well.. we tried chai chenak, and it was good. Parking: either street side or cheap parking is available in parking garages. (attaching photo of parking rates of 'Morris Street Parking garage') It houses two state-of-the-art theater venues and three dedicated rehearsal spaces.

Make…read moresure you have reservations, especially on theater nights, because it was definitely a popular spot due to their proximity to the theater. The menu is basic bar-gastro-pub type fare. I've been here twice with groups of 6. We've ordered everything from the burgers, to the chicken sandwiches and fish and chips. I ordered a Chicken Caprese sandwich and I enjoyed it the first time. The 2nd time I ordered the Veggie Wrap which I decided to turn into a sandwich. That didn't work so well. The burgers were good too. The items all had the option of fries or salad. All the food was good, except the fish and chips was batter and very little fish. The old school ambiance is really nice. The restaurant has an upstairs and downstairs dining area, each with its own bar. If in the area for a show, Tavern on the George has it down to a science getting all the groups in and out in time. Although, the food is nothing special, I'd come here again.

Unfortunately the food and the service both did not live up to what we experienced the first time around. The 3 fish dishes we got left much to be desired, pretty bland.

Not sure if we will be back as it no longer was a five star place for us.

Love visiting Rutgers Gardens through the seasons! If you come in fall, don't expect much in bloom,…read morebut this place is wonderful to hike and stroll through with its various paths. If you visit in spring or summer, get ready for stunning flora and fauna that is cared for by Rutgers staff and students. I adore the lilacs that's smell delicious and envelope a walkway like a natural ceiling. So amazing! Also, I adore the wide open fields and spaces that lend themselves perfectly for a picnic or spot to lay down a blanket and enjoy a nap out in the open. PS. Very romantic spot- if you're coming here for a date, you will not be disappointed!

Really this should be a 4.5 but I rounded up to five to encourage people to come. Really worth it!…read more So let me tell you the negatives first, some of which were covered by some other reviewers. First, there are ticks and you should spray before you start. Second, the directions to get off Route 1 to the gardens is confusing, even for someone from New Jersey who is used to jug handles, but you'll get there eventually. Third, you can hear the traffic from route 1 as you walk through various parts of the gardens and the adjacent woods. And fourth, some toilets are in sad shape. To me, no showstoppers but more you should be aware. Best thing is to print out a map of Rutgers Gardens and Helyar Woods first. It's good to have with you as you walk about although signs are about. This is a really a beautiful garden set out in a very approachable way. Well documented and you can use those maps so you can find and explore the Asian Hill garden, Holly Collection, the Succulent Gardens and, my favorite, the Bamboo Grove. All in all there are 23 gardens and 8 structures, most of which are research sites. The gardens are adjacent to the Helyar Woods. The woods has 7 viewpoint spots and 5 marked trails ranging in length from 0.4 MI to 1.6 MI. Within the forest is a forested wetland, a meadows, a pine grove and just plain old Forest. Most of the trees are old-growth beech, birch, maple and oak trees. It's really wonderful. Note the gardens are closed on Mondays.

The dance floor was popping before the Sangeet even started. They had us crowd surfing, had our friends and family raging, and had us going all night long.
