Krause's Homemade Candy

Fairview, NJ Food Stores - Fairview, NJ Candy Stores 03/26/08: 'Unbelievable chocolate!'

I know there are other Krauses Homemade Candy stores, but none compare to this one ... beleive me I've tried the others and always come back to Fairview!

The closest match I found to their chocolate covered strawberries is Edible Arrangements, but I have yet to find any other candy place whose chocolate even comes close to here.

If you live in the area or just passing through -- be sure to stop by and give yourself a treat!

Brooklyn's Brick Oven Pizzeria

Ridgewood, NJ Restaurants - Ridgewood, NJ Pizza Restaurants 03/26/08: 'Great brick oven pizza!'

They have wonderful brick oven pizza. It's delicious, they use fresh ingredients, including fresh mozzarella, so the pizza isn't greasy. The tomato sauce is light and fresh.

My husband regularly visits and the rest of the family meets him occasionally for lunch.

Great Wolf Lodge

Great Wolf Lodge is a first-class, full-service, year-round family destination resort designed to capture the atmosphere and adventure of the northwoods. Serving as Pennsylvania's Year-Round Family Resort, Great Wolf Lodge provides a comprehensive package of destination lodging amenities, including 401 family-sized suites; a 91,000 square-foot indoor entertainment area, featuring a grand scale waterpark; arcade with ticket redemption; children's craft and activity room; Aveda Concept Spa; fitness room; two northwoods-themed restaurants; confectionery caf; state-of-the-art meeting space; spacious outdoor pool; gift emporium and a performing Great Clock Tower.

We chose the Wolf Den suite, we would have probably been better to chose a basic suite because the kids didn't want to leave the room to go to waterpark! We finally got them out of the room, and into the waterpark, they had a great time, but they still couldn't stop thinking about the room.

Great Wolf prices are high, but worth it for a one night stay -- you really don't need more than that because you have access to the park before check-in and after check-out. That means your getting 2 full days to exhaust yourselves out ... and that's plenty for me!

Pequannock, NJ Produce Markets 03/26/08: 'Great produce at a great price!'

Glenwild Greens

Bloomingdale, NJ Golf Courses 03/26/08: 'Great place to bring the family!'

My kids never played real golf, but that didn't stop us from bringing them here to learn. They had an awesome time and did quite well for their first time. This Par 3, nine hole golf course was perfect for them!

We would definitely go back again!

T-Bowl Lanes Inc

Wayne, NJ Recreation Facilities - Wayne, NJ Bowling Alleys 03/23/08: 'Great place for bowling and parties!'

This is a great place for bowling and for parties!

It's a little pricey, so I usually go during the hours when we can use our coupons from the Kidstuff book. Also, having your own bowling shoes is definitely worth it, because they wack you the same price for shoes as they do to bowl!

My children have been to many parties here, as well as through their preschool and they do a wonderful job. However, everything has to be done through them -- even the cake!

Butler Bowl Incorporated

Wayne, NJ Bowling Alleys 03/23/08: 'Great prices but very out of date ...'

They have great prices, especially the rental shoes, which are cheaper than any other bowling place.

Their bowling alley is very old and out dated ... I guess that's why they're going out of business :(
