Sightseeing
If it is possible to get inside, see if you can. It is a beautiful old theater saved by a neighborhood group. On some weekends old films are shown there for $8 with soda and popcorn available for purchase at reasonable prices. The organ is one of the 2 remaining old organs in New Jersey and they bring someone in to play before the films open.
