hi Everyone!

We're coming from Brooklyn, wondering which would be more suitable for us (DH & Dd age 2.5)
I would appreciate an itinerary for both locations, if anyone has any

We enjoy anything outdoor, and dont wanna schlep along food.
I know food in NJ is not an issue, but are there any interesting attractions? Which hotel is recommended?
PA has a great zoo, Claws N Paws which we would love to visit. What else is there to do there?
Any kosher food? Which hotels?

Any and all info on these two places would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

What type of food can you get? Can you give me the address of the bakery and store?

Are there any people who rent out houses or are we best looking into hotels?

Do you know davening times for during the week?

It's on the corner of Capouse and Poplar

The Yeshiva co-op is across capouse. I don't have the address as they are in the midst of moving now. Hopefully they will be fully open in a couple days. 570-963-5699

Hotels: Radisson-once the headquarters for the Delawre, Lackawanna & Western railroad-lots of history there. Redone and beautiful.
Hilton-Newer and more modern. Also a beautiful hotel

I heard someone has a kosher air b&b in her basement, but have no details. There is also someone who rents out a huge house -pm me for info as I don't feel it's right to give this info openly. It's expensive.

Davening in Machzikeh Hadas is 6:15 and 7 am. Mincha and mariv change weekly, so depends on when you want.

Elizabeth is 45 minutes from deal.
I grew up in Longbranch
If you are into outdoorsy things I don’t recommend Deal
They have the ocean and that’s it.
Hotels in the summer are very expensive.
And rentals are through the roof
Deal has a ton of kosher food in the summer
If you tell me what you want I can give recommendations
If you are makpid on Charles Yisroel make sure to ask
But there is that fun summer vibe since all the SY come in the summer.
Peir village and Asbury park boardwalk have a lot to do.
If you have specific questions I can answer

Thanks so much for the info! Is the hilton in scranton?just trying to figure out how to search without and address
Also does it make sense to stay in Scranton and rely on food from Kinston? Or more sense to stay in Kinsgton?
