Hi everyone. Had a question I know the group here can help me with. My wife is due with our first child in November. Looking for a local place where she could do her baby shower. About 20-25 people are expected. Something on a weekend during the day for a few hours. Any recommendations either in SO or Maplewood? Appreciate all comments. Thanks. |

I understand Lot 15 in South Orange has a private room. ALso, look into the Maplewood Tennis Club off Ridgewood Ave in Maplewood. |

Dancing Goat (now just called The Goat, I believe)- they have parties in the back room - I threw a birthday party there for my husband & it was great.

The Italian-American social club (don't know its exact name) on Fairview Ave. seems to be popular for wedding/baby showers. |

The Gaslight...because it will be the last time you are "permitted" there once the baby arrives.  |

We used La Grotta Amici's in Millburn just past Charlie Brown's on Essex for a recent celebration. On a Saturday afternoon it is $25 per person with an outstanding menu of selections. They offer, antipasti, salad, pasta and main course The service was impeccable and the restaurant is really very nicely done. On a Sunday afternoon, with a few additions to the menu, it was $35.00 per person. We provided the wine and dessert. Well worth every penny. |
