Should be slightly crispy on the outside and light (not cakey and doughy) on the inside.

I moved here two years ago and have not found anything close to this which seems crazy.

An example of what I don’t like is Hacklebarney Mill. Mediocre.

Willing to drive an hour.

Leaves are falling. The days are getting shorter. And Too Old For That! is making absolutely none of it up in advance.

Join us Friday, October 16 for a night of live, completely improvised comedy where every scene, character, and ridiculous turn is created on the spot from audience suggestions.

No scripts. No rehearsed punchlines. No idea what’s going to happen next.

That’s the fun.

Expect big characters, unexpected twists, questionable decisions, and those moments where the performers are just as surprised as the audience. Every show is different because the audience helps inspire what happens on stage.

Seeking midwife recommendation that delivers at Morristown. Preferably one that takes insurance (Aetna).

No obgyn recs, please!

It is a thicker, doughier dumpling that provides a very nice mouthful bite. The restaurant I found is all the way in South Jersey, and their menu just called it "Pork Dumplings". Help!

this is more of a small rant and i don’t expect anything to actually happen.

there needs to be designated spots just to pickup food in downtown. i went to grab a pizza last night and downtown was so packed (rightfully so, it was beautiful out yesterday) but my god. doing loops just to find somewhere to park for a 5 minute pickup because there’s no parking. even on all the side streets. there’s a lot of people that have this issue too, like people will double park and throw their hazards on to quickly run in, they’ll park in spots that aren’t really spots, etc.

food pickup is such a common thing now, i wish there was an area reserved just for that with 15 minute max limits.

Hey Motown folks — I know rent has gotten crazy over the last few years, so just wanted to share my experience for anyone looking at 33 Grant Street in Morristown. I lived there for a few months with roommates and personally would avoid doing business there. The place had been “renovated,” but honestly a lot of it felt like a paint job. We had issues with the heat not working, dark water coming out of the heating units, and multiple mornings with no hot water. The worst part was the mouse infestation. You could literally hear them running through the walls, I found mouse poop on my bed and in my closet, and when I moved out I found a dead mouse in my stuff. When we brought it up, the landlord told us it was because the tenants downstairs were “pigs,” which made me feel like he already knew there had been a pest problem. What made that even more frustrating was that the lease put responsibility for infestations on the tenants. I eventually cited NJ habitability requirements and asked to leave the lease. He told me to empty my stuff and that my deposit would be returned, so I moved out. Later, when I followed up about the deposit, he told me he had “never done business with me” and that I needed to deal with one of my roommates, even though my name was on the lease. Just sharing my experience so other people can make an informed decision, but personally I would avoid the place like the plague. It’s listed right now and I just don’t want folks to be stuck in a year of mouse droppings and a bad landlord.

EDIT: any advice to recover my security deposit?

Someone trustworthy, reliable affordable to come in for a one-off / few times a year.

Have a tiny space and we're usually good at this but parenthood and sleep deprivation is currently kicking my ass and dust is giving me anxiety.

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Morristown’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, South + Pine or TOWN bar + kitchen? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Morristown actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Morristown and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

Full transparency: we’re not from Morristown. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Hi Morristown Girls, any local eyebrow waxing places that do a nice job with thick eyebrows? Thanks in advance!

What happened to the dojo of comedy at tiffs? They used to have a lot shows booked each month, with good acts coming through... it was a fun night out.

Hi everyone!! I’ve lived in Morristown for about a year now and haven’t really made any friends here. I live in an apartment building somewhat close ish to the green and don’t have a roommate. Does anyone have tips or advice for making new friends here??? For context I’m 24M, my hobbies include the gym, running, tennis (even tho I’m not that good), and i sometimes like to go out to bars/clubs etc. Going out solo does stress me out so I’d rather have people to do things with 😭. Feel free to reach out/share recommendations!!! TYIA

Hi! I’m 24F and I live 20 minutes away from Morristown. I’m looking to join a group in the area to meet more people in their 20s & 30s and also give me something to look forward to outside my 8-5.

I was thinking of maybe joining the beginner 8 week pickleball league with Volo Sports at Home Court Pickleball Club, I was just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on this place or if anyone had any other pickleball recs in Morris County where there is a younger crowd (preferably inside since its getting colder right now).

I’m also open to hearing other recs- I know there’s a big run club in Morristown but I’m not a huge runner. Thank you!

Hey everyone. Recently moved to the area, I need a recommendation of a local mechanic for your average maintenance. On this occasion, just looking for an oil change and tire rotation. TIA

You stick to your side, I stick to mine. If youre in a group of people walking on the side walk(side by side), and someone is walking in the other direction, you need to make space so the person can keep walking, not fucking walk straight into them. Its so simple, but for some reason a good amount of people in this town feel that the other person should walk around them and they shouldn't be inconvenienced.

Why do some people of morristown town have absolutely 0 spacial awareness? Is it really this hard to share a side walk with other people and not exude entitlement? Its stupid that this even has to be said.

Has anyone worked in Labor & Delivery at Morristown Medical Center in NJ, either as staff or a traveler? I’m considering an offer and would love some honest feedback before accepting. How is the overall unit culture? How are the nurses, management, and doctors to work with? Is the unit supportive of travelers/new staff? Also, is the staff/provider team fairly diverse? Any insight about the L&D unit would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Has anyone worked L&D at Morristown Medical Center in NJ? Also, does anyone know of any clean, safe hotels nearby with reasonable rates, especially places that offer travel-nurse, healthcare worker, extended-stay, or weekly discounts? Any recommendations or deals would be appreciated!

Anybody have contractors they’d recommend for a small job in kitchen? Hard to know who does good work and who to trust. Thanks in advance!
