The French Market is like a little piece of the France right here in Rumson. A perfect place to relax, grab a coffee and enjoy some of their specialties: French pastries, cakes, and croissants (everything from plain, to ham & cheese, to chocolate, or custard). It's about a 10 minute walk from our home.

A 2 minute walk away, just turn left out front, and turn left again up Ave of Two Rivers and it will see it on the left hand side after a short walk. Don't let the "warehouse" appearance fool you. This is probably the best Italian in the area. Ristorante Giorgia is a "cozy, family-run spot crafting homemade pastas & classic, seasonal Italian fare in a homey setting."

"Serving the Local Rumson area Since Prohibition", Murphy's Tavern was a historic speak-easy. Located below a residential house, this bar has some history and is a local favorite for a cocktail or two. An 8 minute walk. Just make a right out our property, make your first right up Center Street and walk straight to the end. You'll walk right into it. The bar is down the driveway, and you'll see a sign out front, once you are on Ward Street.
