There's a ton of school's in East Brunswick. Eight elementary schools seems like a bit much. It's the only town I've ever seen that has a school for 6th/7th grade, a school for 9th/10th grade and the High School is 10th,11th and 12th Grade. If there's one thing we have more of then school it's Pizzeria's. I'm counting 10 off the top of my head. If you drive drunk you will get a DUI/DWI I promise you.

It's an ok from place, and the people are just fine, but is it home to me? Yes and no. I'll always have fond memories here, but even as a small kid, I knew I'd rather be at Grandma's place in the city; suburban life was absolutely not for me. Again though, I get it. You want space, a couple of cars and a washer dryer in the basement; who wouldn't? Me I suppose. This would never work for me, and Linden for obvious reasons has always epitomized the kind of neighborhood that was great to visit, but I'd go crazy in.

There is a very good mix of educational activities along with some good old-fashioned fun, and lots of time for the kids to jump and play and spend time outdoors. But the real difference is the people. Well trained, courteous, and most importantly really love and know how to handle children. They bring out the best in kids.

I was seeking a coffee shop with available seating on a lazy Sunday morning. After visiting two…read moreother coffee shops in the area with no success, Artshack was the only available option. ENVIRONMENT Interestingly enough, there was ample seating all over the coffee shop. There were ceramic pieces on display all over and after inquiring with the barista she confirmed there's a ceramic studio located in the back(separate ownership). However, for anyone in seek of a unique date idea the combo of coffee and ceramics fills a niche. The service was okay and there were select tables designated as "laptop free". SIPS I tried a chai latte which was decent but far from my favorite. HOWEVER,the drip coffee stole the show and I found myself appreciating it far more than expected. It was quite flavorful. While coffee shops that center around unique themes can at times feel gimmicky, the cafe at Artshack does so in a tasteful way that offers unique value. I will certainly be retuning for the drip coffee and maybe taking a ceramics class at some point.Happy sips!

I can't speak to their art and events, but I will never stop in here for a coffee or food again…read more Service was painfully slow and disorganized--and my girlfriend and I simply ordered a drip coffee and a cold brew, to boot. There was some problem with either (or both) the coffee carafe and coffee brewer, which is understandable, but they went on to make like 2-3 more specialty coffees while trying to figure this out, seemingly forgetting us. Wasn't entirely clear where to wait for our coffee, so it then became a real clusterf*ck of people milling about, unclear about where to order vs. where to wait. I eventually had to cut back in line and ask the server about my coffee after about 5-10 minutes, and he somewhat nonchalantly mentioned he couldn't get the coffee brewing and could he offer me something else. I'm kind of a stickler for my morning coffee (hot, even in the pit of summer) but had wasted so much time at this point I had to take a cold brew myself. Between the failure to update us, failure to have the most basic product a coffee shop could offer and the clear lack of caring about the delay, I was pretty furious. I understand that perhaps the coffee shop is just supplementary to their shop or their mission but if you can't do something right, well... you know.
