Get to Know Morristown

Morristown stands out in a land of cozy suburbs as the cooler, ready-to-party sibling — it’s the only town in the area that can legitimately claim to have a nightlife scene. And unlike its neighbors, Morristown boasts a wide selection of condos and townhouses in addition to single-family houses. Part of the reason that Morristown has a later bedtime compared to nearby enclaves is the high population of local college students. Three schools — Farleigh Dickinson University, Drew University, and Saint Elizabeth University — are all within a ten-minute drive of downtown and students often head to Morristown on Friday and Saturday nights. The Laundromat, a popular speakeasy-watering hole and live music venue that’s only accessible through a secret door behind a set of washers and dryers, restricts its patrons to those 23 and older, a policy designed to set it apart from the more collegiate bars.

Living in Northern New Jersey

Northern New Jersey is often thought of as a series of New York City suburbs, but in true Jersey spirit, the region has a definite personality of its own. Many of the villages here — or rather, townships and boroughs as they are known in Jersey parlance — offer a mix of small-town charm and big-city culture. These are places where there’s still a village green in the middle of town and walkable downtowns with family-owned businesses. Here, you’ll find a pharmacy with an old-fashioned ice cream counter that can make an egg cream on the spot and a diner inside a railroad car. But Northern New Jersey is also home to much of New York City’s commuting creative class, which means excellent bookstores, a world-class film festival, and a tiny newspaper — the Montclair Local — whose board is packed with top editors from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
