If you are into Hookah, this vibey lounge is only a 7 minute walk away. Recently renovated, I would say this lounge is the best Hookah lounge in the area when it comes to quality, aesthetics, and service. We love their non alcohol selection of drinks as well such as teas, coffee and smoothies.

Elite Billiards is our go-to place for a chill night. It's BYOB with fridges next to each table so you can store your drinks and enjoy the game. What I love about Elite is they also have ping pong tables! You can buy some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks here as well. This place is only 8 minutes away by car/taxi.

Wellness & Recreational
This unique 30,000 sq ft Korean-style spa is a must if you are looking to relax and receive services. Known for its numerous saunas, bathhouse, and more, it's a place you can feel at home in a cozy atmosphere. People drive a couple of hours to visit the spa so if you are staying in Edison, I would highly recommend it. Spa entrance fee is by the day and services are available to book as well. If interested in services such as a massage, scrub, or facial make sure to book ahead because they tend to get filled up pretty quickly!
If interested, ask me for a special 20% discount for their admission :)

If you are looking for a weekend brunch spot different than the typical diner or american experience i’d recommend trying out a Dim-sum restaurant. “Dim-sum” is a large range of small Chinese dishes that are traditionally enjoyed in restaurants for brunch. Since the range of dishes are vast, you will find something you like and what’s great is the small dishes are carted around the restaurant and you can look and choose! Kind of like shopping except the dish display comes to your table :) Only 8 mins away, but make sure to get there early since the wait gets long

Edison, also known as Little India, has the best selection of Indian Restaurants. Delhi Garden is our personal and local's favorite and we are so lucky for it to be only a 5-minute drive from our place. They are quite small and most customers do pick-up since there is very little dine-in space. The famous spot gets extremely busy Fri-Sunday and pick-up or delivery times tend to be up to 2 hours, so be sure to order ahead!

New Brunswick has a city-like feeling and is home to Rutgers University. It has diverse areas from a college town area with college bars and late-night food, to a more local style area that has upscale restaurants, clubs, and bars. Definitely, a place to visit and only 10 minutes away

Dinner & Drinks
Clydz is an underground cocktail bar with a food menu as well. Their drink selection is extensive and I would highly recommend their martinis. If you're looking for a chill night with drinks and some light food, this is a great pre-gamer or after-dinner spot.

Since I personally love seafood, this is my favorite restaurant in New Brunswick. The fresh oyster bar has seasonal selections of oysters, clams, lobster, you name it. The interior is also beautifully designed and feels like the quality of NYC right in New Brunswick city. Their cocktails are amazing and strong as well. If you like fresh seafood, especially raw oysters I would highly recommend it!
