New Bridge Landing NJ, This weekend: If the hustle and bustle, the tinsel and glitter, of a twenty-first century Christmas makes you long for a simpler day, join the Bergen County Historical Society for their 36th Annual Colonial Christmas Concerts and Tavern Fare on Saturday, December 14th, or Sunday, December 15th, at Historic New Bridge Landing, 1201 Main Street, River Edge, along the Hackensack River. Performances at 6 and 7:45 p.m. each evening take place in the historically decorated 267-year-old Steuben House, where Linda Russell and Companie will whisk you back to Yuletides of yesteryear with the carols of your childhood and stories of Christmas past.
You can stroll through the candlelit site to the Black Horse Tavern at the Campbell-Christie House, open 5 to 9:30 p.m., for a light supper or dessert of period favorites such as Shepherd’s Pie, Cheese & Onion Pie, Monticello Mac & Cheese, English trifle, selection of Dutch sweets, cake donuts, and cider. Take a moment to visit Sinter Klaas in the Demarest House or the cooks working at the fire in the Out-Kitchen, and don’t forget to stop in the Gift Shop for a unique and perfect present.
Historic New Bridge Landing, 1209 Main St, River Edge, NJ. Only 5.6 miles from the GWB.
