New York New Jersey when you have a show at the Paper Mill PlayhouseGoing to the playhouse is how some of us get a sneak peek of what may be headed for Broadway When Disney’s The Little Mermaid begins performances at the Tony Award-winning Paper Mill Playhouse on May 29, New York theaterphiles will start making their way west to catch the show has been a fundamental pre-Broadway step for new productions and a hub for world-class theatrical revivals it’s been the site of the world premieres of The Wanderer (2022), Hercules (2023), The Great Gatsby (2023) and Take The Lead (2025). So it’s become a regular trek for those of us who love quality live theater and want to get a sneak peek of what may be headed for Broadway As a theater journalist who sees a lot of Broadway shows, it’s so refreshing when I can walk to the theater in my own backyard. So, here are my recommendations on how to make the most of your day when you’re catching a show at the Paper Mill Playhouse RECOMMENDED: The best weekend getaways from NYC Head to Penn Station and take NJ Transit’s Morris and Essex Line to Millburn and if it’s express during rush hour on a weekday but the direct ride is about 40-45 minutes seven-minute scenic walk through a park and past the town’s recreational fields With warmer weather on the way, have lunch or dinner outside at La Pergola. The Italian restaurant has one of the best outdoor dining gardens in the area with plenty of umbrellas and trees for shade comes on a cutting board-sided plate that’s big enough to share. A post shared by La Pergola Restaurant (@lapergolanj) The good news is that all of these restaurants are all in proximity to each other a five-minute walk to the theater and have outdoor seating You’ll likely be sitting next to a table also going to the show Make sure to make a reservation at least two hours before curtain. Heading to a matinee? Book a reservation well in advance for the newly opened Whisk & Willow. The breakfast brunch and lunch spot has been an instant hit in the neighborhood I usually order the So-Cal Breakfast bowl and my son loves the Mini Brioche French Toast bites. A post shared by Willow & Whisk (@willow.and.whisk) If you’re spending most of the day in town Take a stroll along the paved loop at Taylor Park and enjoy scenic views of the lake There are also basketball and tennis courts as well as a playground for kids Cycle Bar and Pure Barre offer fitness classes downtown. A post shared by PAPER RIBBON & WRAP (@paperribbon) For a quick bite, Liv Breads is one of the best bakeries in the state to stop in for a nosh moist challah—but they often sell out by the late afternoon. Its $25 babka is buttery chocolate layers that melt in your mouth. It also sells what I think are the best chocolate chip cookies around and the croissants are to die-for but it’s worth ordering for the crust alone. Across from the playground is Splurge Bakery which often sells great Jewish Holiday-themed baked goods If you’re going to an evening show, it closes between 4:30 and 5pm A post shared by Liv Breads Artisan Bakery and Coffee Bar (@livbreads) Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is opening soon in addition to the current Häagen-Dazs storefront. For lunch, the Millburn Deli is also a staple in town but the salads and sandwiches with names like “The Godfadda” are worth it … and it also has outdoor seating. the town closes one of its streets to traffic for pedestrians only food trucks and more activities for the whole family. the last direct train back to Penn Station is 10:15pm they run every hour with the 11:50pm as the last one back for the night. It’s a day well-spent in the small town Millburn and it’s only a 45-minute train ride away. Thanks for subscribing!
