As a public school music teacher, I found the teaching methods appropriately gauged. It's always nice to see an expert like her being patient with something that is so easy for them.

It was hard work planting on a hill but it gave me a new found respect for landscapers and plant life. I have a tendency to complain about being couped up inside all day so why not get outdoors and make my time meaningful. The New York Cares host Jared was very welcoming. He was also informative about their other initiatives and he frequently checked on my planting skills. I have volunteered with a few agencies around the city and new york cares and I rate them high with the awesome works they are providing to different areas of need. Thanks to them I am a horticulture expert. Ok maybe not! But it was a rewarding experience.

I rode loosey goosey a bit in the past with a bunch of buddies and had no clue what I was doing. MSF seriously arms you with life-saving knowledge like no other. The Class: Everyone in my group passed but the AM class before us wasn't so lucky (two fails). All walks of life, all ages, all cracking jokes, and all supporting one another by the second day. -Randolph range is a newly paved parking lot although the course was off-kilter and threw off the Ridercoaches a bit. Really just meant setup took a few extra minutes --Not a big deal. The RiderCoaches: Both coaches were extremely personable from day 1 and don't waste time sugar-coating anything. They walk you through what's expected of you from the written and skills tests. Both John and Jeff had their own personalities and I think the best of it showed in these two days. They have their own coaching styles but worked well together; making it "easy" for everyone to pick up riding. Both have led very interesting lives and have tons of great stories which brought the class together, eased some of the nerves, and definitely led for a memorable experience. Thank you to the RiderCoaches and MSF for getting us started on what's going to become an essential part of our lives. #GreatFuckingSave

I recently completed my 2 day Basic rider course last weekend from Piscataway NJ and it was…read moredefinitely worth the time and experience. As classes were held at the peak of summer and outdoor, make sure to pack enough water and food. The rider instructors Jade and Scott were amazing providing detailed information on every step you would need in riding the motorcycle. With their experience, exceptional skill and passion for riding, it made us very comfortable and easy to learn all the skills. Jade was more focused on skills and real life scenario's which I felt was needed to get out of these courses and start riding on the roads. Special shout-out to Jade and Scott for making this course as much fun as possible. All excited to start riding my motorcycle now!

Theater was clean and well kept. The theater space itself isn't huge but sound for our kids' show…read morewas just fine, and seats didn't feel crowded nor did the kids seem to have visibility issues in adult chairs even when adults were seated in front of them. Staff were organized and friendly. I had my purse searched upon entry; all bags were looked at. My ticket was purchased through Vivid Seats, and apparently they didn't provide me a legit theater-issued QR so I had to visit the box office. They were friendly and promptly issued me printed tickets. Lobby was a con because it's just small and cramped. This old building probably didn't have to house as much food and merch purchasing back in its day but the multiple concession lines were blocking people from just getting to the theater and accessing their seats. They have tons of low quality junk food for sale. The huge group sitting next to us had chicken fingers, fries, a ketchup smell that wouldn't go away... it was honestly ridiculous the food they allow in people's laps just to turn profits. I was surprised these people were buying full huge meals (that had to cost $40+ each for junk) at 3:30pm to hold it in their laps for a 1.75h kids' show. Whatever. Point is, if you haven't eaten and want to pay $40 for crap that will linger in your body, you will not go hungry here. Clean bathrooms were the right size to allow a packed house to process themselves in the 20min intermission timeframe. This includes the ladies room, which always takes longer, and it was for a kids' show, which adds even more time. I recommend pairing your visit with the Rutgers Zimmerli Art Museum if you have time. They are open until 6pm most nights.

Great night at THE State Theatre! I won tickets for a Ladies Night concert with Raheem DeVaughn and…read moreEric Benét, orchestra level, row P, seats 109/110. Perfect view of the stage, but I don't think it really matters much where you are seated due to the design of the auditorium. The opener was a rising singer/songwriter named Aniyyah, born and raised in New Jersey. Aniyyah's DJ had some technical issues loading her music at the start of her set, but wow, she has a voice on her. She, along with Raheem DeVaughn and Eric made for a fantastic show. They are all extremely talented vocalists, but Raheem DeVaughn without a doubt stole the show with his stage presence. Eric Benét however truly surprised me. His voice is absolutely incredible live. The State Theatre did a major renovation back in 2020 and the interior was previously renovated in 2004. It's as if we have a piece of Broadway right in the middle of New Brunswick, New Jersey. I felt like I stepped right into the 1920s with their vintage design and architecture. The acoustics inside the theatre are phenomenal. I'm not sure if it was my seating, but the sound was so crisp and well balanced. I can understand why any artist would choose this theatre as their preferred venue to perform in. One important note is their designated passageway to the closest parking deck which would otherwise be a long walk in the freezing cold. We were able to use the enclosed heated hallway as a shortcut which leads directly from the garage to the State Theatre located on Livingston Ave. We almost walked right past the entrance to the passageway, so I wanted to make sure I shared it with anyone who has read this far into my review : ) It's been many years since I've come to see a show here, and I had an enjoyable experience. I look forward to checking out any of their other events in the near future.
