scotch plains: It made me wish I was 5 again - 06/22/12 09:22 PM

Team Zuhl took a detour this week and visited Ponderosa Farm Park on Cooper Avenue in Scotch Plains. The ribbon cutting was last week and it's all the buzz in the neighborhood, and Team Zuhl likes to be where the action is, so off we went.
There's plenty of parking, trees for shade, picnic tables abound, and soccer/baseball/softball fields. But the real attraction is the water park and playground.

The climbing equipment and ropes and slides are all on top of thick foam that didn't get warm for little feet in the sun. There's plenty to keep lots of kids busy.

scotch plains: Stage House Tavern - 06/17/12 09:45 PM
Diners in Scotch Plains have a treasure in the Stage House Tavern on Park Avenue. Team Zuhl visited this weekend and had a blast. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, the food is great, and the wait staff is excellent. If you fall in love with the ravioli, as most people do, it's available to take home also. The summer time Free Barbeque  at the Stage House is unbeatable. And, in our never ending search for the best onion rings in the County, these have to be in the top 5.
What's your favorite meal at the Stage House?
