5 New Jersey Places You Must Eat At During the Fall
lizzie ryann

Autumn is a time of baggy sweaters, beautiful foliage, relaxing bonfires, Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown movie nights, fall scented candles, tailgates, pumpkin carving, and lots of delicious food. Fall reintroduces superfoods such as apples, pears, butternut squash, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes. In New Jersey, there is an abundance of farms and restaurants, but only a select few are must visits before the fall season comes to a close.


1. Gronsky's Milk House, High Bridge

Nothing says a fall breakfast like a pumpkin pie pancake with pumpkin spice butter. This is the place to come when you want a really large portion of an utterly delicious pancake (seriously this pancake can feed you and a friend). Not to mention this restaurant is located in front of a brook. If you want a scenic breakfast then you can eat outside with a peaceful view; or if your the type of person that'd rather take photos of nature then I recommend using the brook as a nice backdrop for some fall candids.


2. Terhune Orchards, Princeton

Did someone say apples? Yes, lots and lots of apples; apple pie, apple cider, apple cider donuts. You take your pick of how you want to consume them; after all "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". While Terhune Orchards is famous for their apple cider donuts, you truly can't go wrong with any of their apple offerings. If you're not an apple person perhaps indulge in a sweet potato or pumpkin pie. Also, make sure to walk around the grounds; they have a store that sells farm fresh produce as well as a beautiful winery. I would suggest planning your visit soon and taking advantage of the last couple of weekends in October for Terhune's Family Fall Fun Weekends.


3. The Farmer and The Chickpea, Whitehouse Station

The motto of this restaurant is "ingredients matter". The food is fresh, simple, and delicious. Everything in this place is seriously yummy, but their roasted pear caramel bread pudding is a must eat fall dessert. If you are looking for a heartier dish I recommend their sweet potato crust pizza topped with roasted kale, goat cheese, walnuts & sage.


4. The Bent Spoon, Princeton

This is the place where your ice cream fantasies become reality, while managing to be healthy (yes, I recognize how frightening it is to see healthy next to ice cream). All of the Bent Spoon's ice creams and sorbets are made with local, organic ingredients. During the fall, they have fabulous ice cream and sorbet flavors based on seasonal produce. The pumpkin ice cream is a must eat; however, since their ice cream flavors rotate daily, follow their Instagram @thebentspoon to see when their pumpkin ice cream is in. If your schedule isn't flexible then no need to worry because ever flavor is equally as delicious. From pear sorbet to apple cinnamon ice cream you will definitely find tasty fall sweets.


5. Teaberry's Tea Room, Flemington

Teaberry's has the sophistication of a London tea room with a cozy ambience. When you walk in you meet the sight of leaves and Halloween ornaments dressed on an upside down Christmas tree (yes, this place has an undeniable quirky charm). Their warm maple roasted butternut squash sandwich is a must eat. To fully enjoy the flavors of fall I would order hot mulled cider or one of their fabulous chai teas to accompany your meal. If you are looking for a lighter lunch the Autumn Salad (field greens topped with roasted sweet potatoes, bacon, dates, hazelnuts, manchego, shallots & baguette croutons with a cider vinaigrette) is another delicious option.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
