Wife and I looking at a road trip to the game.  It was my wife's idea for a little 15th anniversary trip.  Thinking of heading out early Friday...driving home on Sunday. 

We haven't decided on an exact place to stay.  We have free stays available at Sheraton/Westin properties.  One option in Edison, one in Poconos (PA), others in Princeton, Ewing and then Allentown (PA).    If anyone has any suggestions on which of those areas may have best options for a date night (fine dining, entertainment), it'd be appreciated.  Not sure how practical it may be, but was thinking the Edison location could provide opportunity to maybe catch a train into NYC for a show Friday night. 

Due to game starting at 2pm, figure it won't be done until going on 6pm, so not sure what options would be Saturday night, maybe just dinner in the area somewhere.  It's been 18 or 19 years since I was anywhere near New Jersey or NYC area, so suggestions are appreciated.

Also, where will the Bobcat Fans' section be at the stadium?  May try to get tickets closer to that area if possible.


Thanks!

If you do decide to go into the city, I can give you the names of a few really good,reasonably priced resturants in the midtown area.

Broadway is also kinda slow from now until around Thanksgiving so you should be able to find tickets to a lot of good shows.
When "Wicked","Jersey Boys" and "Spiderman" are running multiple commercials on local T.V. and radio you know they're a bit slow.

Love Morristown. Very cute town square. The Office has great burgers and a nice beer selection.
