if you been to the Union Square Greenmarket aka the farmer's market that is open Monday, Wednesday,…read moreFriday, & Saturday...then you're probably familiar with Migliorell Farms. this farm stand typically has a variety of produce like apples, but they are most notable for selling hot cider especially during the winter....as you can see puffs of steam rising from warm pots filled with apple cider. beyond the apple cider, they sell cider doughnuts. got a small bag of pear cider doughnuts a few weeks ago--and SURPRISE SURPRISE they were awesome. basically it tasted like a cinnamon cake doughnut with a hint of cider. the cake-iness is light and soft crumbly while the sweetness is light and lets the cider and cinnamon tastes come through. overall, a tasty simple doughnut. while the weather is warming up so hot cider might be out of the question...doughnuts are a year-round affair. enjoy!

I tried Original Sin's hard ciders recently and I must say I walked away very impressed as I…read morethought that the ciders were pretty unique and flavorful! Steve and I had two different ones that we really enjoyed! One of the ciders was their Black Widow. This was a good cider and had a different spin than traditional ciders since it involved fruit other than apple. Actually apple wasn't excluded from the Black Widow cider but blackberries were added to this cider making it pretty sweet but not too sweet. There was still tartness there. But our favorite cider of the two was the main cider they had, the Original Sin Hard Cider. This just straight up an apple cider with a perfect dash of sweetness and tartness this cider was so good I could have had more than one glass. It didn't even exactly seem like a cider but more of a white wine as it had the more delicate traits blossoming on your tongue just like a good white wine. Or in this case just like an expertly made cider. This one cider is what brought the star score all the way to five stars we were that impressed by it.

Rooftop Reds is a true hidden gem in the Navy Yard of Downtown Brooklyn. It offers a nice view of…read morethe Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines (though most of the manhattan side is covered by surrounding buildings). The vibes are relaxed with open seating, hammocks, large tables, and backyard games like cornhole. I especially like that the grape vines are intertwined with the seating, so that you can sit all around the plants while you enjoy your wine or cocktail. Service was spectacular with two sommeliers working the wine bar. They took their time to explain the menu and patiently described the flavor profile of each of the wines to me and my friend (two complete novices). I suggest trying their in house wines and the Le Mone spritz, which is similar to an Aperol Spritz but made with a lemon liqueur instead. It can be kind of difficult to get to the location since it in inside the Navy Yard and there is no direct access from the main street. Once you get there, you have to go up about 4 flights of stairs since the elevator is for special use only. They have a small snack menu but you can also order pizza from IL Porto, which will be delivered right to the rooftop. You cannot bring outside food or drink. Reservations are mandatory but I went on a Friday evening and there was only about 3 other groups there. There was also no cover when I went. Based on the other reviews, they must be more strict and charge cover on busier days or weekends. I plan on coming back here with more family and friends! 5/5 stars!

The only reason this is missing a star on the review is the steps!! It's ridiculous and there's no…read morefull disclosure until you get there are to how far up you have to work. It's five steep floors. You cannot use the elevator and if you have mobility issues you have to call a number posted on the door when you arrive. Def a turn off. After climbing forever, I checked in which was smoothe. I thought the movie began at 6pm so I arrived at that time and had almost two hours to look around. I chilled in the big beautiful hammocks And walked the vineyard. Though pizza and wine was included in my ticket I ordered the watermelon frose which was so delicious and cheese. The spread arrived in picnic aesthetic which was so cute. The movie started at sun down and it got chilly fast. They provide blankets at no additional cost if needed. The pizza was so good! It was a nice vibe with the beautiful skyline in the background. I would recommend for single or solo outings. The service was great.

(Drank 09/19/2026 SA @ 3:00pm): Apparently, this was the only local craft brewery in Newark proper!…read more In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes and things to do throughout Jersey City (specifically the Heights) and by extension nearby Hoboken, I actually found myself further out towards the airport at Newark Local Beer. If you knew me, I always seeked out local breweries wherever I traveled and made it a point to visit any I could before I departed. Opened in late-2021 as the U.S. slowly started to open up at the tailend of the Covid pandemic, husband and wife owners, Stephen and Miller Hughes as avid beer enthusiasts with a passion for making their own beer, decided to follow their dream of opening a brewery and event space in the heart of downtown Newark where there once was a rich beer history. How did Newark's lone local beer producer treat my palate!? PURCHASE(S) *All beers from Newark Local Beer* Orange Crush Wheat Beer 4.9% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Bright amber color, citrusy wheaty aroma, light body, citrusy orange sweet wheaty flavor, crushable smooth finish, and citrusy wheaty aftertaste. Lite Rail Kölsch Beer 5.2% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Amber color, biscuit malty aroma, light body, biscuit citrusy malty flavor, crisp smooth finish, and biscuit malty aftertaste. Utz "The Crab Chip" w/Chesapeake Bay Crab Seasoning Potato Chips 7.75oz Bag ($6.00): With no real nearby food options except for delivery, I chose this over beef jerky and the unique flavor of minimal crab and salty seasoning that made me really thirsty... a plus for a brewery! Sidecar Session IPA Beer 4.5% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Rich amber color, funky hoppy aroma, light body, dank hoppy tropical flavor, crisp finish, and earthy hoppy aftertaste. Coal Train Nitro Oatmeal Stout Beer 4.5% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Brown red color, bread malty oatmeal aroma, light body, bready earthy oatmeal malt flavor, bitter drying finish, and bitter malty oatmeal aftertaste. Unleaded Hazy NEIPA Beer 7.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($10.00): Hazy amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, light body, herbal hoppy flavor, crisp finish, and herbal hoppy aftertaste. My favorite of the bunch. Easy Rider IPA Beer 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Hazy amber color, floral hoppy aroma, light body, citrusy fruity hoppy flavor, crisp smooth finish, and citrusy floral hoppy aftertaste. Stickers ($1.00 x3): I loved placing stickers on the walls of other breweries! Souvenir T-Shirt Baby Blue M ($25.00): Not that I needed ANOTHER t-shirt, but the logo was cool and I loved the Grateful Dead skull treatment. SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a friendly lone young man behind the bar as I made myself at home for several hours at a counter stool. It was just he and I for a while, so we chatted, as I kept ordering beers from him. Eventually, a large group from Audible came in as he managed the crowd perfectly. Once it was time for me to leave, I easily settled my tab as we each wished each other a good night. It was a chill afternoon with a cool guy - cheers! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I took a Lyft from Jersey City and never left my stool until I left, so I honestly had no idea the parking and streets situation in the area. However, it seemed like there was the possibility of street parking, but don't hold me to it. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A huge open one-floor layout with numerous brewing equipment visible on site, with numerous communal tables and stools, a small counter where I sat, and stark white walls like a hospital with some artwork hung on them. Plenty of natural lighting filtered through the large front glass doors and windows while an assortment of track and wall-mounted electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. No actual TVs but projections screened on the walls while an eclectic mix of music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was happy to finally visit Newark Local Beer and cover all of the breweries within proximity of my friend's place. I enjoyed the variety of brews they had and I drank, and the space has so much potential. The prices were comparable, the service was amazing, and I imagined they held nightly events to bring in the crowds. And, I'm unaware whether or not pets are allowed. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $86.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
