I eat here a lot. Open really late like 2AM - Upscale Hot dogs – believe it or not. My favorite is alligator shrimp dog. They have regular hot dogs, bratwurst, sausage, duck dogs, and more. Outside eating. Not too expensive. Eclectic crowd like RU students, artsy folks mixed with business, doctors, and others.

Seafood is their specialty. Newly opened. Outside eating. I have eaten here a few times. Somewhat hit or miss. Generally crowded and loud – nice bar. If looking for a place where people gather this is it. They give you a lot of food. I always split an entrée there.

Clyde is opened very late for food. Great martini bar. Last time I was there they had a really good assortment of appetizers. A little bit on the expense side. Usually pretty crowded and an interesting eclectic group of people. it is downstairs so there’s no windows but it’s an interesting vibe and the food was pretty good.

This is a 100% vegan restaurant. I don’t eat here very often, but if you’re into vegan, it’s the only vegan restaurant in New Brunswick that I’m aware of.

Less than 10 minute walk via Park through yard gate. The quantity and quality is good. The place is clean and bright. The worker is nice and courteous. I feel good having the food. The takayoki is on the small side but the octopus in there filled the ball well. I think it is bigger than the ones I had somewhere else. They could serve them on a bigger dish to make look nicer. The noodles are good and I like the egg. The yolk has good taste and not over cooked. The meat is nice with some torch mark. I’d come back.

The trail, built in the 1830s, begins at the Raritan River in New Brunswick and ends in the Delaware river near Trenton. The trail is the old towpath used by mules to haul barges from NYC to Philadelphia.

A beautiful colonial plantation building viewable from the Canal Tow Path. A five-minute walk from ABB-see information on the canal. The two lots were once under different owners: Riverview’s grounds were owned by one T. de Rusey in 1876, while 3 Landing Lane, which then had a hay press, was owned by A. Conover. In earlier years, the properties were home to John Pittinger’s and Miles Smith’s mills, which had several neighbors.

A pastoral 78-acre park - showcasing the stately Buccleuch Mansion plus baseball, cricket and soccer fields as well as a playground, sleigh riding tennis courts, a par course, a work-out area, picnic areas and groves, and more. Buccleuch Park (pronounced Buck-a-loo), is located between the Raritan River and Easton Avenue featuring an astounding 78 acres of rolling terrain. It is home to the Buccleuch Mansion, a former Colonial Estate. Hear it pronounced here. This expansive public park features many athletic fields for baseball, softball, tennis, soccer, cricket, volleyball or basketball, and a 1.5-mile cross country-fitness trail. Buccleuch Park also has a playground, rock garden, flower garden, gazebo, and picnic pavilion. During the winter months, the Parks Department offers sledding and ice skating (weather permitting). Buccleuch Mansion is a Georgian mansion constructed in 1739 by Anthony White and his wife, the daughter of New Jersey's Royal Governor Lewis Morris. George Washington was a frequent visitor to the Mansion. It was also occupied by the Enniskillen Guards during the British occupation of New Brunswick in 1777. The mansion was deeded to the City in 1911 and the Jersey Blue Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution now care for the mansion and administer tours and exhibits. The mansion recently underwent a historical restoration and is open for tours on Sundays from 2-4 p.m. from June to October. Buccleuch Mansion - Historical Significance - Built by Anthony White around 1735-1739 in an early Georgian architecture style, with stone foundation, wooden frame and rubble-filled walls on all three stories. Fine Georgian details are inside and on the exterior of the house. Formal Georgian center hall with wallpaper printed in Paris (circa 1815) by Dufour of Macom. Occupied by the British during the revolution, saber and rifle marks are still visible on the staircase banister and upper floorboards. Visited by George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, General Kosciusko, General Gates, and John Hancock. Several rooms are decorated in the Colonial and Federal period to reflect this part of the history of the mansion. The mansion is situated on a hill overlooking the Raritan River along the northern edge of Buccleuch Park in New Brunswick, NJ. Buccleuch Park is a former Colonial Estate, which features 78 acres of rolling terrain, including a 1.5 mile cross country fitness trail, playground, rock garden, flower garden, gazebo, and picnic pavilion.
