Not only do critics love this dining destination, it's one of Morristown's top-rated restaurants by locals. You'll find a varied menu with fine American cuisine, Creole-style jambalaya, and Thai beef satay. There are also options for vegans and vegetarians - try the roasted pear & endive salad with baby greens, candied walnuts, mango cubes, and strawberries tossed with a tamarind vinaigrette. We also love the dessert selection which includes a double chocolate stout brownie, white chocolate raspberry cake, and peanut butter silk (heavenly if you love peanut butter cups). Now, on to attractions...

This national park is packed with Revolutionary War History. It includes a museum, Washington's Headquarters at Ford Mansion, the Jockey Hollow Encampment, and plenty more. It brings the past alive AND, as of 2018, it's been free to visit.

Guests of all ages will enjoy this exciting destination. The Morristown Game Vault is an epic arcade housed in a former bank building. It offers over 110 classic and modern games, including plenty of pinball machines (my personal favorite).

New Jersey has some amazing museums but this has to be in the top 5, especially for families. It's got a little bit of everything - art, geology, paleontology, history, and some incredible music boxes. It's a fascinating place with interactive exhibits that kids and adults alike will love.
