Spending a “Picture-Perfect” Day in Morristown, NJ
Morristown, NJ is one of my favorite towns to explore! There are so many amazing restaurants and activities – it’s an adorable town steeped in history. Fun fact: it’s actually referred to as the “military capital of the American Revolution” because of how integral it was in the Revolutionary War. I’m lucky to live only a quick 15-min drive away, so my family and friends and I always find ourselves there one way or another. I thought it would be fun to piece together my “perfect” day in Morristown for those of you who are looking for a day trip and a new place to perhaps call home in New Jersey. Let me know if you try out this itinerary - and also comment below your Mo’town hot-spots!
9:30am - Start off your day with a green juice from local shop Green Point Juicery (the owners are incredible!) - or an acai bowl from Playa Bowls!
10:30am - Enjoy your walk around town with a cup of coffee or your smoothie. Explore the green, and all of the adorable fun side streets. Take a walk by Jockey Hollow restaurant and see the amazing grounds + fountain. (Great place for a photo op!)
11:00am - Unleash your creativity + inner child!
Glassworks Studio - learn how to make mosaic art by breaking your own colored glass and creations!
The Game Vault - step back into time and into an old-fashioned arcade! They have all of the classic and oldies…aka, no Fortnite here lol
Trap Door Escape Room - put your problem solving skills to the test with their extra-unique supernatural themed escape rooms. not for the faint of heart, but oh-so-fun.
Alternatively - if you’re riding solo - hop in for a day pass to En Masse Co-working and enjoy a new work scene to catch up on whatever passion project you are working on :)
1:00pm - Treat yourself to a fun, casual, lunch - our personal favorites are Inspiration Roll (sushi burritos + rice bowls) and Perogies House (classic Polish perogies of a variety of flavors!)
2:00pm - In an artsy mood?
The Morris Museum is a must-see. It’s actually a Smithsonian Museum Affiliate - and always has amazing exhibits from modern art to the classics.
Or if you’re also like me and just like to lounge around and watch a movie, rent out an entire theatre at AMC Headquarters - right in downtown Morristown. The theatres are small, and have the most comfortable recliner chairs! Catch a new movie, or a classic fan favorite.
4:00pm - Before dinner, work up your appetite with shopping! There are an abundance of great little shops to stop into - my favs are:
Alba Boutique - adorable clothes and shoes
Just Jersey - all items are Jersey related and Jersey made
Seasons Olive Oil & Vinegar Tap Room - gourmet oils and vinegars of quite literally every flavor imaginable
23 South - unique gifts and accessories!
6:00pm - Dinner time! Yes - a lot of food to pack into one day, but really Mo’town is a foodie’s dream!
For a more upscale farm-to-table, try South & Pine (get the chicken and waffles, trust me)
For the best local sushi, try Sushi Lounge (order the lychee martini… cue the drool)
8:00pm - Head to the Laundromat… Yes, it is a laundromat, but no it isn’t just your average one ;) You must be 23+ to get into this special speakeasy!
And that concludes a perfect day in Morristown! Comment below your favs!
