We’re so excited to share our new Market Mornings Guide, featuring farmers markets across Bucks and Hunterdon counties! 🌿🍑 Link in bio & below.

And the fun part is that we paired our curated itineraries with each market so you can “make it a day’ in each town!

This series is all about supporting the incredible farmers, growers, bakers, crafters, and makers who pour their hearts into these markets each week. Shopping local makes a difference, and we hope you’ll discover a few new favorites along the way.

We’ve also curated a Market Morning shopping guide with all of our favorite essentials—from market totes and straw hats to beat the heat, to sunnies, coolers, and a few other things we never leave home without. Consider it your perfect companion for these slow weekend wanderings.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be visiting each market and sharing what makes it special. Every one has its own personality, favorite vendors, seasonal finds, live music, and local charm—and we can’t wait to take you along!

@fromriverfox is officially open! The newest concept from the team behind @blkshd brings its signature eye for design to the heart of Frenchtown, with a beautifully curated mix of home, décor, gifts and flowers.

Every corner catches your eye—gorgeous vessels and objects for the home, unexpected details, and the most incredible flowers, both fresh and faux, in combinations that feel more like art than arrangements.

It’s layered, elevated and completely transportive. There is so much to see, it’s hard to know where to look first. A beautiful new addition to Frenchtown and absolutely one to experience for yourself. by @the.riverloop

Bob @lonsdaleyoga reached out and invited me to try a Lagree class @hometownyoga_lambertville in their gorgeous new space in the heart of Lambertville. I had never heard of Lagree, let alone taken a class—and wow. Challenging, fun, energizing, and such a great workout!

Lagree uses a Megaformer with adjustable resistance for a full-body workout that’s intense on the muscles while being easy on the joints.

Bob guided me through the entire session, making sure I understood every movement while keeping me laughing along the way. With more than 20 years of experience teaching Yoga and Pilates, his knowledge comes through immediately, but so does his ability to make you feel completely comfortable trying something new.

Thank you, Bob, for inviting me in and introducing me to Lagree. I loved it—and I’ll definitely be back!

THE WAIT IS OVER! 🥂

The long-awaited @theunionhotelflemington has made its return, and with it, the opening of @jerseyprimesteakhouse.

Drew and I had dinner last night, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special.
The atmosphere. The cocktails. The food. The service. Absolutely spectacular. And we don’t say that lightly.

Think elevated New York steakhouse meets modern lounge, all within the beautifully restored, historic Union Hotel. Gorgeous dining spaces, sophisticated lounges, and outdoor patios.

Every detail was on point. Owner Jack Cust even stopped by our table a few times throughout the evening to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. That personal touch, paired with impeccable service, made the night even more memorable.

And the FOOD! Drew ordered the bone-in ribeye with potato gratin, while I had the most incredible chicken Parmesan with pomodorini, basil, stracciatella, and mozzarella di bufala. OMG. Chef’s kiss. 🤌

One of the best parts of the evening? Seeing so many friends and familiar faces. There was such a wonderful buzz throughout the restaurant. It felt like a night out in the city, right here in our own backyard.

Flemington, we are so lucky to have this incredible new addition to our community! taken in The Union Hotel by @the.riverloop

A LITTLE OFF THE LOOP… AND VERY WORTH THE DRIVE!

When Chef @hstagg invites you in to try his new spot, you say yes. And OMG, the food!

@figlongvalley is warm, intimate, rustic in all the right ways, and everything coming out of this kitchen was incredible.

Quality ingredients are a big deal here. FIG is seed oil-free and partners with local farms, apiaries, breweries & creameries to bring as much local flavor to the menu as possible.

We started with the focaccia, followed by the Tomato & Watermelon Salad with Ort Farms tomatoes, pistachio, stracciatella & prosciutto. Then the Rigatoni with vodka sauce, stracciatella, brown butter breadcrumbs & Parmigiano Reggiano.

And then came The FIG Cutlet with Melick’s Town Farm peaches, heirloom tomatoes, arugula, aged balsamic & buttermilk Green Goddess. Quite possibly the best chicken cutlet I’ve had in a very long time. There. I said it. ☺️

Make the reservation. Order everything. Definitely don’t skip the cutlet. by @the.riverloop

NORTHRIDGE, AFTER HOURS ✨

Some dinners remind us exactly why we love sharing the places we do. We met friends @northridgebarn at @woolvertoninn this past weekend, and from the moment we walked in, Mario, Mary, and the entire team made us feel so warmly welcomed.

And dinner? Every. Single. Dish. Incredible. The seasonal prix fixe menu served in the most beautiful restored 1830s barn. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy, rustic, and elevated.

After dinner, we walked the beautiful grounds of Woolverton Inn as the sun was setting and, of course, had to stop and say hello to the sheep. Quite possibly the perfect ending to dinner. 🐑✨

Northridge is also BYOB, so bring a favorite bottle along.
And coming soon: the Northridge Autumn 2026 menu. 🍂 by @the.riverloop
