Sunday Brunch: Urban Table

While visiting one of my dearest friends in New Jersey a few weekends ago, I had a few hours to kill by myself, so ventured to Urban Table located in downtown Morristown. It was the second time I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and both times I've absolutely loved it.

I've had both lunch and brunch at Urban Table, and both have been truly excellent! It's not often that I find a place that has a really great vibe and is still down to earth. If you're ever in the Jersey suburbs, don't miss this great, local spot!

On the lighter side: Honey Dijon Glazed Turkey Burger Salad. Perfect lunch portion - enough to fill you up with energy for the rest of the afternoon. And the tangy, zest dressing is perfection.

On the heavier side: California Burger. It will give you a hug from the inside. That's a direct quote from the bartender. She was 100% correct.

For Bunch: Belgian Waffle. You won't believe the whipped cream and carby goodness that will come out of the kitchen. Also, the Brioche French Toast looks like a solid winner.

Don't Miss: The Pomegranate Margarita. The signature drink. I've had both frozen and on the rocks. Both are wonderful. Maybe prefer the frozen just a tiny bit more, but trust me, you can't go wrong.

 

{Nearly} New Englnd

 

A few weeks ago, I spent a few quality days in New Jersey visiting a dear friend. These days consisted of many a bottle of vino, mexican food, and a glorious afternoon of apple picking. We headed to Riamede Farm in Chester, NJ - and oh! - what a gorgeous setting. This farm is the quintessential New England setting, although technically not in New England. It took me several hours to remember I was at the Appalachian foothills and not lost in western Massachusetts.

 These pictures are probably incriminating because only after I hopped up on the branch of a tree did I see the sign saying not to climb. Whoops. Personally, I think climbing trees in an orchard is a perfectly natural way to spend a lovely autumn afternoon. 

Jersey

A few weeks ago, I went to visit one of my best friends in New Jersey. It was my first time in the state that included more than sitting on the highway in traffic. Although, we did hit our fair share of that too on the ride down.

I was seriously delighted with my little trip! We ate some pretty fantastic diner food, spent a gorgeous fall day cursing around Lake Hopatcong, and caught up on life. I was seriously impressed with this little nook in Jersey, and can't wait to explore some more of the state!

P.S. To all my Jersey friends: thinking of you as you clean up from Sandy. I sincerely hope you and your loved ones made it through the storm safely and with little damage.
