Life near Kenilworth for a 30-something SWM (Union, Hoboken: travel, job)

[jmihelcic]

I may take a job in Kenilworth soon. I am single and will want to meet new friends. I still like to grab a beer, play pool at a local spot, etc. Where is a good place to lay roots for a 39 yr old guy that's wants some nightlife?
Thanks in advance.

Try Morristown. I used to consult at Schering-Plough, and from there, it takes about 20 minutes to commute, and there is a good amount of nightlife (I'm 38 and find it does the job in most cases--it's not Manhattan or anything, but you'll be fine).

If you don't mind a longer commute, there's always Hoboken as well.

Good luck!

Kenilworth is nice, but it just doesen't scream NIGHTLIFE! A restuarant or two on the Boulevard is all I can think of. Don't get me wrong it's a nice town, small proboblly less than 3 miles. A family oriented town. The previous post's suggestion was a good one, Morristown.

Are you kidding me??? Kenilworth is a virtual social epicenter!!!

But seriously, I live next to Kenilworth and it's not as bad socially as people think. Here's a few places right in town:

-- Black Thorn on Michigan Ave. (nightclub/restaurant)
-- Buffy's off 10th St. (bar)
-- La Casa Nostra off Boulevard (cards/bar)

If you're willing to travel a little further:

-- Hooters in Union (restaurant/bar)
-- Shooters in Union (gentleman's club)
-- The Office in Cranford (restaurant/bar)

That's a start, but your options will increase the farther you're willing to drive.
