Warren County Wanderings

Starting February 12, 2020

"Loving is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), French writer, poet, aristocrat, journalist, and pioneering aviator.

Valentine's Day is almost here! If you haven't made plans yet, we're here to help - just read on for some dinner and event suggestions. The Sunshine Boys opens Friday night (there's an odd couple for you!), the incredible Dan Tyminski brings his bluegrass band to our area, and another wonderful pair - wine and chocolate - can be found at our four wineries all weekend long. We hope that like this pair of adorable raccoons in Kent Sweigert's photo, you and your love are looking in the same direction. Happy Valentine's Day, and Happy Wanderings!

Coming Up

Come out and try Line Dancing, hosted by Draught House and Monteray Entertainment.

Love is in the air! Now accepting Valentine's Day reservations (required for this special 4-course menu). Wine & Champagne included, and live entertainment in Cafe Baci. Gluten-free & vegan packages also available!

This weekend is your last chance to see Centenary Stage Company’s well-received production of Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys continues through March 1, as a grudging reunion between two vaudevillians whose 40-year partnership broke up acrimoniously brings a flood of memories, miseries, and laughs. Don't miss Broadway veteran David Edwards and CSC's award-winning Artistic Director Carl Wallnau as the battling duo "Lewis and Clark".

Show your LOVE for the League of Women Voters by celebrating its 100th anniversary with the Warren and West Morris Counties league.

Dynamic on stage, down to earth off stage, Dan Tyminski has the voice, instrumental chops, and charisma to be counted among the most recognizable and popular male vocalists on today’s bluegrass and country music scenes. Yet his demeanor – low-key and laconically sly – ensures that all the accolades are the product of his own innate gifts. In addition to his highly successful solo career, Dan Tyminski has played guitar and mandolin for Alison Krauss and Union Station since 1994.
