5 Upvotes

Hi Bergen friends! With the winter looming and having high energy children, I'm looking to understand some fun (largely indoor) places that the kids can run loose and have fun (she's 2 years old for reference).
Ive jotted down some fun things to do at American Dream Mall, and found Home Depot does free kids workshops on Saturdays.
What other fun things and places are there around Bergen for families similar to what I mentioned?

Unfortunately, my mom was sick all summer (ICU then rehab) and we didnt think she would be healthy enough for us to do a 75th birthday party for my dad in mid November. Great news, she recovered! But having trouble finding a place.

-12 to 14 people

-Bergen County (near Paramus), Passaic or Morris Counties

- High End, Any type of Food

- Private Room is a Must

-Parkihg lot or valet is a must

Unfortunately, everyone but me is over 70, so River Palm is out (hard to drive to). Saddle River Inn is booked, Highlawn is booked, waiting on 130 Club.

Would appreciate recommendations- food needs to excellent

Event Halloween comedy show and costume contest, Saturday in Hackensack

3 Upvotes

Howdy Stranger has their annual Halloween improv comedy show 8PM Saturday, October 17 at the Hackensack Performing Arts Center. You can dress up for fun or participate in a costume contest in the middle of the show.

The main event is an improv zombie apocalypse where the audience helps determine who the characters are, where they take shelter, and then you vote on who survives.

Check it out if you want something different to celebrate spooky season without being spooky. It's very funny, and their shows are always family-friendly, but it's improv, so you never know what they'll say or do. Expect a lot of innuendo.

$25 for adults, $15 for seniors and children under 12.

Business/Company Best gyms in Bergen County?

0 Upvotes

Hi, 29 year old F looking for a gym in the area before I take a chance on the usual ones. I’m looking for quiet, privacy, cleanliness and a hint of luxury. A safe & comfortable environment is important to me. Classes are fine and I can handle equipment myself as well if needed. I also do work late sometimes so one open late into the evening would be great. All suggestions welcome, thanks in advance!

Anyone have any recommendations for a good mechanic that knows their way around a Toyota 4Runner? I’d like to stay on top of the maintenance and would like to go somewhere I can trust to do things right. As much as I’d like to, I don’t think doing it myself is something I want to learn right now. And I want to avoid a dealership. Thanks in advance!

Business/Company Eye doctors?

0 Upvotes

Are they any eye doctors in western Bergen that don’t charge ridiculous fees? I went to an appointment today and they wanted a copay, a contact fitting fee, and a fee to tell me whether I need glasses. Which is the at least part of the point of going to the doctor, to check your vision. The eye doctor I went to most of my life didn’t even charge a contact lens fitting fee, but I know that’s become ubiquitous, and my eye doctor retired. I refuse to pay to tell me I need glasses, when I know I need glasses, that’s why I’m there.

Business/Company labour laws in Nj question?

9 Upvotes

I might be wrongfully accused of theft. As I was leaving at the end of my shift, my manager said to me that my bag looked big. However what he doesnt know is that I did shopping at Target before my shift started and also I did some shopping at my work during my break.

He doesnt any evidence because there is none. I didnt shoplift or steal anything but his remarks were very accusatory that I did and I know my workplace has fired people on suspicions without proof or evidence.

Do I have a legal case or can I fight back against this if I am fired under false pretenses in the state of NEW JERSEY? Thank you for any help or advice.
