When you’re ready to start looking and have any questions let me know, been down here for 8 years.
I remember! you live in the same development as @ChrisNalwasky inlaws.
We went down in July. Really liked the area a lot.
@ruhoopscrazy is down in Oak Island now, looking for people to watch some games with.
Bordentown is a great little town and this is a solid spot.
Good location for upper SJ, western CJ and even eastern PA fans.
@MrsScrew is Saturday definitely happening? My parents may attend.

I’ll have to try and hook up with him to catch a game or two.
My wife and I will be there. We joined you all in Hamilton a couple of years ago for a game vs that school from Pennsylvania. Bad game, good time. And the first time I had Scarlet Ale.
Looking forward to it. See you there.
In no particular order: Mountains, Weather, Cost of Living, Music Scene, and many options to allow us pursue our active lifestyles. Also, though not a factor when we made our choice, we are closer to our children that have moved all around the country (bonus).
I promised my wife at least one week at the beach every year if we moved here. Sometimes twice dependent on where we go for our "big" vacation. (Hawaii last year.) It's been enough to satisfy her.
You'll be more than welcome!
Oh, and we do have another Rutgers fan 25 minutes away from me that I am now friends with because of the board. C'mon down!

Historic BTown is nice and has great history. My give it a try. Short drive down past Trenton.
The River Line is great for Bordentown. I was living there back in, say, 2009 when Temple was playing Seton Hall in Newark ... in a major snowstorm. I never even had to get in my car. Took the River Line from Bordentown to Trenton and then the Corridor up to Newark Penn Station. Could've never driven it. To be honest, I'm surprised the rails were moving as well as they were.
But the point is that Rutgers fans could easily take the Corridor down from anywhere along that line, hop the River Line to Bordentown, and get schnockered at Old Town Pub.
So I had two outdoor events scheduled for this Saturday. Frankford Hall's huge Oktoberfest celebration then up to PARX racetrack to watch the PA Derby and Cotillion.
Forecast sucks. So my options are cooking all day watching college football or taking the River Line up to Bordentown. Knowing @MrsScrew she would approve either options as she herself likes to cook all day.

Take the riverline! We haven't seen you in forever. Cook on Sunday!
I'm going to next weeks game! Would like to find a Great Dane to walk around the lots. Obviously Scarlet is gone and my friend Reed, who came to 2 Rutgers Tailgates, now lives outside Orlando.
I think I'll split it up. See you for the first half and head back home. Chicken Parm and Lasagna when I get home. Give me your secrets on those two when I see you! BTW I will be wearing the Go Scarlet hat you got me many years ago.

My wife grew up in Bordentown after about 10 other stops for the Army brat. Anyway, I love to tell the story about when we met and were dating how we lived on opposite sides of the State. You could literally see the Delaware River from her house and from my house, living in Belmar you could see the Atlantic Ocean. So do long distance relationships work, absolutely. LOL! I like Bordentown and the Mom and Pop restaurants, nothing but chains by me.

Well YOUR wife sounds reasonable.
The menu at this place is a significant upgrade. They had me at oysters on the half shell. Clams, mussels, calamari, oh my. I'm in if we are over whatever bug my son brought home from school.
I made the sauce today, lasagna goes in the oven tomorrow.I'm going to next weeks game! Would like to find a Great Dane to walk around the lots. Obviously Scarlet is gone and my friend Reed, who came to 2 Rutgers Tailgates, now lives outside Orlando.

I got all my ingredients. Changed from Lasagna to spaghetti and meatballs but Chicken Parm is still a go. And Jamaica jerk wings as well. Will start my "gravy" upon waking up. Unless there is a break from the storm I'm going to stay put. Rain and big winds tomorrow. I'll figure it out in the morning.
Dude this is biking weather. Get on your bike and pedal over.
Their appetizers were really good and thoroughly enjoyed. Meals not bad, but nothing special.
I did a 45 mile ride in Belgium in weather like this in April. I wouldn't ride in this weather again even if you guaranteed a Rutgers victory today!!
Turns out, like most bars, they assumed they had the channel until 30 min before kickoff. Comcast Business subscription does not include the B1G channel. They hooked up a fire TV or something to get the channel on at least one.
I mean, they could have at least put it on the big tv!
Can’t make it today, but I love the Old Town Pub choice. I am one town away.
Thank you and Mrs Screw for organizing again!!!
How do you assume when you invite people to arrange their day around a specific attraction? That’s an egregious mistake. You can’t be in the bar/sports bar business and not know you do not get specific channels.
It’s like advertising a specific fight or mma and not getting the subscription.
I'm extremely disappointed with this, but I am not the one who coordinated it here. The person who did was assured that they had BTN.
MrScrew & I are heading to Wisconsin & will be traveling in the Indiana game so we won't have to deal with this again for awhile.
May need to return to Hamilton Tap & Grill
Yea not pointing fingers. Awful on their part. Had a minority stake in a couple bars in the city. Worked to get SEC schools to make us their home bar after they had a similar situation. It’s not hard to figure out if you have the channel. You test it before you arrange to host the event. If you have it nothing to worry about. If you don’t you get on the phone and change your subscription.
