Have you ever heard the one about the cobbler’s kids and how they have no shoes? Sometimes what we do all day long doesn’t always translate well to our home life. If you’re planning events from 9am until whenever, the last thing you want to do is plan something in your personal life. It’s November, which means that ultimate event—Thanksgiving—is right around the corner. If you haven’t figured out what you’re doing yet, or just want to take a break this year, our friends at Diaz-Schloss pulled together a cheat sheet of a few NJ restaurants that are serving turkey and all of the trimmings. And the best part? All you have to do is make a reservation.
