I was at Met Life Stadium for this event a few weeks ago and witness alot of crazy. I got there a…read morebit late because I had a family function earlier that day but it rained so heavily I honestly did not miss much. The price of this event was very expensive, I mean seriously VIP tickets were $200 a day. I was lucky as can be that I won them from a twitter contest. I was shocked to be honest, both days of VIP, was very grateful. The main theme is a day time into night time RAVE, no other way to describe it. Maybe not like the ones in the Mojave desert or EDC Las Vegas but those are hard to duplicate. There was the EXPERIENCE OF 4 STAGES- 2 DAYS. 100,000 SUPPOSEDLY people there. So many smiling faces, so many women dressed very scandalous for this. There were litterally hundreds of artists there performing. Over 70 DJS in all. There were even Carnival Rides to go on for your entertainment, Interactive Art Installations and one GIGANTIC OWL. The day I was there was Saturday and there was a mess of people there. Martin Garrix was the first one I really saw I believe. He was definitely a fan favorite. He did a really long set. http://youtu.be/AmJLR_9ivqw Crazy live like in this video I was there really for the main artists like Krewella, and yes I got to see her, but was so far away. I left the VIP section early and wanted to really mingle with the people. http://youtu.be/JqVbVfhM2EY I was honestly even further back for this group, it was that packed. End of the night there was Carl Cox and Loco Dice playing together in the only inside venue. I was there for a bit and saw many pretty ladies. http://youtu.be/Q-FyhYdlcw8 I knew about Carl Cox for years so it was actually nice to finally see him. Ended up also catching about 30 minutes of AFROJACK set. He went on last and his particular stage. It was really good, and crowded so I didn;t stay whole time. http://youtu.be/5eNGO1PdxN0 This was AFROJACK in case you didn't know who he is. HARDWELL was also a main act and he did his thing too. *All in all, a great experience, and a really hot day of moving around here and there. I got some water and there were free refilling stations. I still almost felt like I was dehydrated. Had a monster drink and that helped too. I would come back again another year. Each stage was great.

I feel betrayed and lied to…read more When you purchase tickets to EDC, it says "rain or shine." It even says it on the shiny colorful tickets you get. THEY DON'T MEAN THAT, PEOPLE! On Saturday of this year, it started drizzling... raining... well, okay, fine, pouring buckets... and they made us all go inside the stadium for at least a whole hour! Liars! Can you imagine all those people huddled up in the parking lot making their way inside? Needless to say, it was a zoo. Otherwise, EDC was an incredible 2-day experience and I can't wait to go again. I didn't think I'd love it this much, especially having gone to Coachella last month and thinking this would pale in comparison. But it had the elements of Coachella that I loved while having its own qualities that made it unique. Obviously go if you're into the music (EDM, house, dance, electro house, D&B, techno, dance punk, hardstyle, dubstep), or if you just want to witness the atmosphere, I guess. Speaking of which, girls are all in crop tops, high waisted shorts, and floral headbands. Sounds cliche, but it was fun dressing up! I saw maybe 10 concerts within the 2 days, which I believe is worth the money. I also very much appreciated the real bathrooms available inside versus the standard portapotties. Beware: there is a very small variety of food (Papa John's, chicken fingers, and fries. That's it) and the prices are outrageous. $7 for French fries whatwhat! Also, security is over the top. They don't let you bring in makeup or water bottles (because apparently these things are made of ecstasy??...) Transportation that I took from NYC: metronorth from Penn Station to Secaucus, then bus from there to Metlife. $10.50 roundtrip and so easy a monkey could do it. In any case, go and dance like no one is watching!

I hate leaving low reviews. However, this was a sad experience. I had attended this fair during my…read moreyouth, and it was sketchy then, but had a certain charm to it. However, as an adult, this attraction appears to have gotten even sketchier. Outrageously priced, massive lines, poor crowd control, unruly patrons, rude and seedy vendors/ride operators, etc. For the prices, you truly aren't getting much food or entertainment-wise. Same goes for the entry ticket fee. Overall, the experience doesn't deliver for the price. Check out the Sussex County Fair for a true experience that you will enjoy, especially considering it is nothing like what I mention above. I'll pass on this one in the future.

I have been coming to this fair for years and years and for a long time. I love fairs in general so…read moreI'm a little biased already. It's a fun time. Tickets were online only and the process was easy. You have the option of entry fee and/or a wristband that gets you unlimited rides. The entrance and intial part of the fair is mostly food and the crowd attractions. Pig racing, dirt bike show, Magic etc. The rides were past that along with the standard fair games to win prizes. Most of the staff I encountered were all very nice. It's a great way to spend your day.

This trip was in June and in the second week of July her house burned down and she lost everything. I called to repurchase the crown and sash but they sent it no charge. This may seem like a small thing for a big company to do but for a 12 year old that lost all her treasures just getting in a few back means the world. So from this Grandma to Medieval Times I give you 5 stars and a thumbs up!

Went early and there was a line waiting to get it. Not crazy. The show actors came out to greet us. After the wait we got let in and assigned a color. Took a picture and then we waited in the lobby for the show to start. Bought some trinkets and other items. Got called to go to a door. The arena was cold, so bring a light sweater. Walked to our seats and the server introduced herself. She told us what to expect and when. The show and food started. The food was good, no memorable. Show was also entertaining. Server was efficient. Overall, a well managed location, good, clean and friendly service, fun show you end up cheering for your color. Make sure to tip your server well if you think they did a good job. Had fun and won't wait again for many years to go back.

Rutherford is an ideal place to live. It is by far one the nicest towns in southern Bergen County…read morewith an easy commute to NYC via the Rutherford Train Station or bus, and is close to all major highways route 3 and 17. I moved here just for the schools, and the town is often hosting fun events for residents such as parades & festivals, and offers free outdoor concerts at Lincoln Park during the Summer. Rutherford is home to Felician College, and the Boat House hosted by the Nereid Boat Club. The downtown district offers many restaurants and shops. The restaurants are BYOB and there are no bars which means quiet neighborhoods. The town names itself the Borough of Trees because of all the mature trees that line the residential street. My home like many in this town line the Passaic River and to my surprise when a nighbor landed his sea plane on it. Truly a wonderful safe place to live.

I say without hesitation this was one of the worst planned and overly sold food festivals I have had the opportunity to attend, and I have attended many.. Many of which are much larger in size and scope in NYC, Brooklyn, Philly and in Boston, yet they were all better managed to help assure customer satisfaction was at the forefront of the event. Exposure North Jersey shame on you for overselling the event 20 fold and cramming an event which required about 10x the sq footage to help assure a successful event. I hope you take notice of the endless list of complaints on Facebook and social media and trust me the complaints and constructive criticism is in the high hundreds, perhaps thousands and reevaluate a better plan to help assure better success in the future. It is highly doubtful I shall ever patronize another event hosted by Exposure North Jersey and their obvious money grab from not only the vendors, but more importantly the customer base. https://m.facebook.com/ExposureNorthJersey/

What a great venue! Saw the Gorilla Biscuits / American Nightmare / Kill Your Idols / Desperate…read moreMeasures show last night in the Black Box part of the Williams Center, and it was an excellent time. I wish this venue was closer to me, I'd be there for every hardcore show they put on. For this show there was no barricade; I don't know if that varies from one show to another, but I was happy to see the lack of a barrier when we walked in. The security was just how you want them to be at this kind of show: present and there if needed, but not getting in anyone's way or preventing people from dancing or stagediving. There are two bars in the main area of the Black Box, one at the back, one on the side. And then merch was sold upstairs, and there's another bar there. Snack machines, and candy is also sold at at least one of the bars. I paid $7 for a 12 oz. can of Miller Lite or $9 for Corona, I'm not sure what size that was, 11 or 12 oz. I guess, one of those weird tall, skinny cans. The sound quality here is excellent. They had some lights going on during the bands' sets, but nothing too showy or intrusive. Really, just all around top-quality in terms of sound, stage setup, production. All the employees I encountered were very friendly. This was a pretty big crowd; I don't know if it was sold out or not, but the place was packed by the time AN went on. Sometimes staff can be unpleasant or just generally serious, handling this many people in a theater size venue, but these folks all seemed happy to have us there. I love the Black Box at Williams Center and hope to be back soon.

On 10/17/25, we visited the Brighton Asylum for a "Spooktacular Evening!"…read more (The facility was an actual Mental Asylum back in the 1940's). You can either purchase tickets online or right at the place. The basic tickets were $60 each. However, the closer you get to Halloween, the ticket prices go up. Upon entry to the Brighton Asylum, there are several people outside, directing you to parking. We went through 3 very cool and fun haunted houses. Actors are dressed in scary costumes. They try to scare you, but will direct you through the haunted house. Visibility can be a little tricky in some areas of the houses. The house has several exits, in case you've "just had enough". It took approximately 1 1/2 hours for the entire visit. Just some cautions for those who have any type of limitations. In one house, there's at least two tunnels you really have to "bend over" and walk through at least 10 to 12 steps. In another house, there's at least three long flights of steps to climb up and down. The facility does have some extras like ax throwing and an escape room which will cost extra money. Definitely recommend the Brighton Asylum for a fun evening! The Brighton Asylum is located at 2 Brighton Rd. off of Van Houten Ave. in the back area. A gift shop is available with Brighton Asylum Tee Shirts. Porta John's are available on the premises.

Thanks to Yelp, we got the tickets to the food festival. The parking lot around the festival was…read morecharging much higher price, so I parked at AD parking for $5. Since we had VIP tickets, the check in process was quick, but the perks of VIP were so underwhelming. Inside the festival there were lots of food stalls, some small rides and entertainment booths and there a big stage for live performances. We got to see a wonderful Chinese song and some drumming by a Japanese group. The food items were super expensive. Most places were selling stuff for $16 or above, and the items were not worth the price. Some of the good stuff were the dumplings, ube ice cream and bubble tea. We went to entertainment booths to try some of the children's rides and games. They were below average. We spent few hours at the festival but overall experience below expectations.

10/25/25 Rutherford NJ - well-represented vendors and food variety for a taste of Asia (and a bit…read moreof Latin America!)l You'd normally have to go on a food crawl around Flushing, Queens to encounter so many different regions and flavors of food. We came during the first session on Saturday morning just after opening so it wasn't too crowded yet. As it was around lunchtime, it was perfect for snacking on a variety of plates. The food prices are pretty typical fairground rates, i.e. expectedly overpriced. As many reviewers have noted, the cost can add up between the entry ticket fee and individual food stalls. It's best to come with a small group so you can split orders and try a variety of things (4-5 people is ideal). Dream Asia hosts food fests in other cities as well (Las Vegas, Philly, Baltimore, Winston-Salem NC) but this event was held in Rutherford NJ in a parking lot of the American Dream Mall, and traffic/parking was well-directed and organized, despite the enormity of the Meadowlands complex. As it was close to Halloween there was trick or treating at every vendor booth so my child really enjoyed that. There were also performances and some kids activities like a bounce house. Definitely show up hungry and ready to chow down!

I went to the Tastes of Brooklyn event along Franklin Ave. The festival offered ticket sales online…read moreand I appreciated that you could buy tickets without any service fee on top of the ticket price (~$10/taste). Ticket pickup in front of Cent'Anni was easy once I knew where to go, and I found it so helpful that there was a map and list of what each spot was offering. That list was useful in planning what I wanted to try. In the future, I'd recommend that the event hosts try to confirm these listings with participating restaurants a bit closer to the event date, because some of them were inaccurate. One place listed as offering "sliders" served only a single (scrumptious) slider, and another spot listed as offering a "choice of two tacos or a margarita" informed me when I arrived that they weren't offering the margarita after all. I thought the offerings were pretty fair, just wish the list had been a bit more accurate. While I wouldn't recommend Tastes of Brooklyn to someone looking for a "good deal", it wasn't a bad way to share a walk and various foods with a friend while supporting Seeds in the Middle.

Some places did food and booze as one stamp, while others made it two separate ones. Some portion sizes were gigantic, while others didn't even give a full slice of pizza. And a few closed up shop early because they were so popular (we ended up with extra tickets that we just spent on half slices of pizza because nothing else was left). The ticket pickup station at the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club was also a bit of a hassle. Not the most centrally located, and their ticketing system was a mess. A lot of manual handwritten notes. That said, I appreciated all the businesses that participated (some of which I've never been to before!), but I wish it were better organized.
