It is my mission to visit them all and serve as a local guide to anyone who wants to have their own Adventures in South Jersey!

Update CANCELED: NJ State Park Service has CANCELED the Open Tower Day on March 15

The middle of March is the perfect time of year for an adventure to climb the Apple Pie Hill Fire Tower! The NJ State Park Service is hosting an Open Tower Day from 6am to 4pm on Saturday March 15. https://batstovillage.org/march-happenings-at-wharton-state-forest/ This tower is closed to the public unless a fire ranger is on duty. It used to be open but people had wild parties there over the years. The first time my wife and I drove out there, we lucked out and a ranger let us climb up. That’s when I realized I was afraid of heights. So a few years later we went back for an Open Tower Day. I highly recommend if you can go without a crowd because we had to wait in line for about an hour or so. Since the tower is on a hill, it’s one of the highest points in the pines and on a clear day you can see AC, Philly, and NYC. The highlight of our adventure was facing my fear of heights and being able to enjoy the view! It was scarier when we did it alone, with a crowd I felt more comfortable. There’s a small parking lot so you can drive but people also like to hike in on the Batona Trail from Rt 532 or from Carranza Memorial. If you drive in, I suggest taking Ringler Ave. After our climb we like to have a celebratory drink at Mayos Halfway House. If you’re looking for a thrilling adventure with breathtaking views, climb the Apple Pie Hill Fire Tower! 🍎🥧🔥🗼

My wife and I like to have our Valentine’s Day dinner a few days early to avoid the crowds, so a few weeks ago, we had an adventure at The Monterey Grill! This is a fairly new establishment, the event space in the Aloft hotel has been converted into an elegant setting. I made an early reservation so we had the place to ourselves for a little while. To drink I had Spellbound IPAs, my wife had a bottle of Fleur De Mer rosé, and we shared a smoked old-fashioned. Our appetizer was the angry cashew shrimp. We decided to share an entrée, the 16 ounce dry aged, New York strip steak. We then added a buttered lobster tail, seared scallops, and a side of lump crab fried rice. The steak was decent, and everything else was delicious. The highlight of our adventure was trying to figure out why the other patrons were there. It was snowing heavily and it was the middle of the week so we were probably the only locals enjoying an early romantic dinner. There were some hotel guests dining solo and several groups in varying sizes. Our waiter told us that the large group in the private room were all doctors attending the same conference. That piqued our interest so we started paying attention the guests coming in. So whether you’re looking for a romantic date night, a fancy celebration for your employees, or a good meal when you’re staying at the Aloft hotel, go to the Monterey Grill! 🥩🦞❤️🏨

Brightest rainbow I’ve ever seen!

My wife and I had an adventure at Briglia's Tavern in Berlin when we came in for Chef’s Tasting Thursday! This quaint little gem is on Route 73 near the expressway and it’s the perfect stop if you’re headed home from AC. We only live about 15 minutes away so we like to make Briglias our fine dining destination in the middle of a dive bar tour. The food there is always delicious! Chef Matt AKA Matty B knows how to cook and he’s constantly offering a variety of specials in addition to a full menu. Our first time there we sat at the bar, watched them make some tasty drinks, ordered a Ribeye, and had a great time chatting with everyone. When we went back for the Chef’s Tasting we sat in the cozy dining room. They also have outdoor seating and a large enclosed tent. We had Fried Tomato Scallop Caprese and Shrimp/Scallops wrapped in bacon for the appetizers along with a Garden Salad and French Onion Soup. For the entrees we chose Chilean Seabass Portofino and Parma Lamb Chops wrapped in prosciutto. We ended the meal with Chef Matt’s famous Tiramisu, which is my wife’s favorite and the highlight of our adventure! I also heard about their roast beef sandwiches so I got one for lunch when I was around there for work the other day. Don’t be fooled by its humble exterior, next time you’re looking for fine dining and a welcoming atmosphere, give Briglia’s Tavern a try! 🥩🍝🍹🍰
