“FALL” IN LOVE WITH THE POSSIBILITIES THAT AUTUMN BRINGS!
Autumn in New Jersey is a bustling yet enchanting time, offering diverse activities. From the invigorating crisp air to the joy of apple picking, the thrill of football games and tailgates, the festive spirit of Oktoberfest, the spooky fun of Halloween, and the cherished moments with family and friends, there's something for everyone. And let's not forget, the kids are back in school! As we embrace the return of Autumn, we invite you to The Showcase Magazine's Fall/Back to School Issue, brimming with exciting possibilities.
Take a moment to appreciate the “Fall Flowers #1” painting by our featured front cover artist, Dr. Roz Dorlen and the best of our LOCAL businesses and professionals Showcased inside.
As the temperatures cool down, Dining Al Fresco becomes a delightful option. Our comprehensive LOCAL “Dining &Special Events” offers a wide range of your favorite fall comfort food. With numerous restaurants to choose from, you’re spoiled with choices! And during the hectic Back to School period, let your LOCAL eateries ease the burden of family dinners. Plenty of stress-free LOCAL options exist whether you prefer to dine in or take out!
And speaking of dining, be sure to participate in Berkeley Heights Restaurant Month, now in its eighth year, beginning September 1st – 30th. With a diverse selection of more than twenty eateries participating, a culinary adventure awaits everyone!
The Showcase Magazine welcomes Fall by bringing numerous advertisers to our readers for your special event planning, home renovations, health and beauty.
