Things to do in and around Chatham NJ

One of my favorite things about Chatham NJ is how much there is to do and how close it is to so many wonderful events and venues!  Many events and venues take place right here in Chatham NJ or in neighboring towns like Summit NJ, Millburn NJ, Madison NJ and Morristown NJ.  Others take place still near enough for day trips!

Last week my husband and I took two trains right to Forest Hills NY to attend the US Open Tennis.   We took NJ Transit from Summit in to Penn Station where we then got on the LIRR for 2 stops.  Less than an hour from home, we were walking into the US Open grounds to enjoy a wonderful day of world-class tennis! 

It was a beautiful, sunny, dry day and the ride was easy and uneventful.

What a beautiful thing ... an hour from our sleepy little town in to our top tennis tournament!  We watched mostly the matches in the open courts, I love how close you are to the players, you can see their facial expressions, hear their grunts as they put out their best effort!  We sat front row for the match between French Gilles Simon and Brazilian Ricardo Mello.  This heated match went long and hard and was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. 

Now, if only I had a little bit of talent on the court!  Oh, well.  For now I have to settle for watching tennis and enjoying all the other wonderful, fun and interesting things to do in and around Chatham NJ.

Chatham NJ is one of the top towns to live in (Money Magazine, Forbes Magazine, NJ Monthly Magazine) and offers a charming town with a downtown center where unique shopping and dining abounds, top-rated public schools, NJ Transit trains to NYC in less than an hour, beautiful neighborhoods with homes ranging from $400,000 to $3 million.

Sounds like a great day! Nice to have train systems so close by to make everything so convenient. Our high speed rail was voted down in Florida but I really think that we missed the boat by having that happen.

Excellent, I didn't realize Chatham is only two stops away from Manhattan New York Penn Station. I hope you enjoyed the tennis match and had a great Labor Day weekend.

It was fantastic!  I know a lot of people use our convenient transit system to commute to work, and it really is great also for entertainment.  We like to avoid traffic, tolls and parking nightmares by taking the train!

Diane- a speed rail system will bring prosperity to the areas it serves, as well as help keep our environment cleaner! 

Eileen- yes, we are so close!  If you'd like an area tour sometime, let me know.  I'd enjoy sharing best practices with you as well as showcasing my wonderful communities!

Good morning Trish. Great post and well written. Your town is lovely and I enjoy shopping and eating there. The US open is a special thing and sounds like it was a very good day.
