In a small but true bit of good news, they seem to have gone back to making the old, righteous recipe. Kudos to the Hawthorne Valley Farm bakers!

We weren't able to see any chicks or baby turkeys but we did see baby cows and some cute lambs. Muscoot Farm isn't a petting zoo, but the animals do come up to you sometimes if you're quiet and respectful. I was surprised that I didn't see any of their horses and that they didn't have any male turkeys, but we got to see some of the feeding time, and I even got the chance to learn a little about how the Farm used to be run. The farm doesn't require payment, but they do take donations so please donate when you come so that they can continue feeding and caring for the animals and the land, and so they can continue to pay their employees. This farm is a great place, and I hope that anyone who reads this review comes to visit.

The farm itself has a variety of animals and is set up as a nice, self-guided tour, so you can explore at your own pace. They also have a trail you can walk, which was a really nice addition. The bathrooms were fairly clean, and there's also a concession stand with a variety of food options, including hot dogs, burgers, onion rings, fries, and wraps. I got a cheeseburger, and I'd honestly give it a 10/10! Overall, this is such a great place to spend the day, especially if you're looking for something fun, relaxing, and family-friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

**November 2025: Tuesday Early Afternoon Visit**…read more For my Vermont portion of the roadtrip I really wanted to visit a maple syrup farm. I called the day before to confirm hours and inquire on potential tours and they indeed were in operation despite the cold season. We arrived around 1pm and entered the small gift shop which had their maple syrup on display in various sizes. They also sold some Vermont made Jam, homemade magnets and some other souvenirs. The shopkeeper greeted us and agreed to give us a tour and educated us about the maple syrup process. She took us out back and told us and showed us the blue pipes that transport the syrup to their backhouse which then heats it up so all the liquid dissipates. At the end of the tour we got to sample both the Medium Amber and Dark Robust syrups. My friend and I definitely preferred the Medium Amber. I bought small maple leaf shaped jars as well as the maple candy to bring in my checked bag and my friend asked if they could ship his gallon to California. This maple syrup has a more molasses taste to it and I think I'm ruined on store bought generic maple syrup lol. Overall, a fun visit!

It exceeded my expectations! The menu had something for everyone and had a good variety. We picked shrimp gumbo, butternut squash soup, turkey chili, and cheesesteak. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Nothing tasted artificial at all. After we got our food a staff member came out with an orange wedge and suggested adding it to the butternut squash soup. I'm a bit adventurous...I tired it and it was good! There's also a few shops in the old farm. They have local jams, honey, and (right now) fall decor. If you walk toward the back there are some animals. We were told they love attention and it wasn't a lie! We pet some after lunch. Definitely a great place! We know the menu will be different but we would be back again for lunch!

This review is for a special fourth of July weekend brunch cruise on the Spirit of New Jersey…read moreleaving from Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City. This being said, my comments probably apply to many similar cruises offered by this company. The cruise was supposed to board at 10:30 am for an 11 am departure, returning at 1 pm. Boarding started maybe 10:50 am and the ship left about 20 minutes late, and still returned at 1 pm. So it was really a 1 hour and 40 minute cruise rather than a 2 hour one. The boat has two indoor, air-conditioned dining levels and an upper deck. It is random which level you are seated at, but the layout looks the same. With taxes and random fees, cost was about $350 for a family of three, and $500 for a family of four. We did not pay extra for a window table. We got a window table anyway, which was nice. There were also bottomless mimosas for the adults and orange juice for the kids. We did see the tall historic ships as advertised. We didn't see many - definitely less than 10 - but we did get pretty close to the ships and got some good pictures. The boat went around the tip of Manhattan and we saw Ellis Island, Governor's Island, and Staten Island. We spent a lot of time around the Statue of Liberty. It was a while before we got food. At the beginning of the cruise, the buffet was not ready yet so basically everyone went upstairs to the upper deck to take pictures first. When the buffet was ready there was a lot of waiting around while they called the tables up one by one. The buffet was honestly not great. The sausage was undercooked, the bacon was over-crispy, the salmon was overcooked. There was someone serving slices of beef which were somewhat dry but still the best thing there. The DJ did a commendable job acting as a tour guide but also playing every line dance that he could think of in order to convince people to get on the dance floor. I am sure nobody booked the cruise for the purposes of having a dance party, but there were definitely at least two families with kids dancing on the dance floor by the end of the cruise. Overall, decent but expensive.

The cruise was advertised as "New Jersey July 3rd Parade of Historic Ships signature afternoon…read morelunch". We saw no historic ships, no tall ships. The route advertised was from Liberty State Park to the Intrepid, then back to Battery Park and up the East River to Williamsburg Bridge. This boat simply circled Battery Park for 1 1/2 hours. No Intrepid and no East River! No historic ships. Food as fine, table location was excellent of there had been any ships to see. I received several emails warning to arrive 60 minutes early. We had to wait in the hot sun (nearly 100 degrees that day) and they boarded passengers 20 minutes later than stated in the email. So, we waited in the hot sun more than 80 minutes. Then we didn't have the cruise we paid for!! No email telling me the route changed or change of plans no access to the historic ships on this cruise!! if I had known that the day of the cruise, I would have demanded a refund before paying for five adults for this event. Make sure you double and triple check the actual cruise route before paying for a cruise with this organization.
