Weekend Picks: Shake, Rattle and Wet Your Wassail! PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 25 January 2007

Image If there ever was a weekend with something for everyone, this might be it. There’s plenty of great entertainment; a confab of kid rockers, fake Elvises, a toast to a tree, and some real ice capades.

RUN?
On your Happy Feet, to see Robin Williams, returning to Atlantic City Saturday night, for the first time in more than 20 years. The show is at the Borgata (www.theborgata.com). Tickets start at $225 but you are talking about Mrs. Doubtfire.

SHAKE?
Rattle and roll your way to Red Bank Saturday night. If Elvis lives, he’ll be in the crowd Saturday night celebrating his birthday at the Count Basie Theatre (www.countbasietheatre.org). Get on your blue suede shoes, and swivel away, with entertainment by Elvis impersonators Mike Albert and Scot Bruce.

ROCK?
The pint-sized version! See future rock stars perform at the ultra-cool School of Rock (www.schoolofrock.com) studio. It’s a selection of their greatest acts, on stage Sunday in Hackensack.

DRIVE?
Your Caddy to see Rosanne Cash’s Black Cadillac tour at Morristown’s Community Theatre (www.communitytheatrenj.com) Saturday night.

SLICE?
The ice at Howell Farm?s (www.howellfarm.com) annual ice harvesting in Lambertville. Chop, shave and saw the ice, and you’ll see the way it was done before there were freezers.

SNOW?
Or not, Mt. Olive throws a Winter Festival (www.myhackettstownnj.com/calendar.html?event=213) Saturday afternoon at Turkey Brook Park. There are even fireworks at dusk.

TACKLE?
Former Giants QB Phil Simms is the latest to appear in the campus lecture series at William Paterson University (ww2.wpunj.edu) on Friday night. The host is Peter King of Sports Illustrated Magazine.

TOAST?
Around the apple trees -with cider - at Terhune Orchards (www.terhuneorchards.com) in Princeton on Sunday afternoon. The owners believe that wassailing the trees helps the crop and brings good luck. We’ll drink to that!

There are plenty more ideas at www.njmonthly.com. Just click on the “Get Out” link. Have a great weekend! We’re back tomorrow with great dining choices for Valentine’s Day.
