Day 85: Edgar Allan Poe Cottage

Jersey Journal
Monday August 25, 2008, 4:31 PM
Edgar Allan Poe Cottage
Visit the place where the great American poet and writer Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of his most famous literary works. Immerse yourself in the humble abode where he lived his last years. From his 19th-century stove to his creaky rocking chair, everything in the Bronx five-room cottage was left exactly the way it was before he died. Poe's wife, Virginia, died from tuberculosis in this very cottage in 1849 -- so you can imagine the history behind these walls. For more information, visit www.historichousetrust.org.

Asbury Lanes
Calling Asbury Lanes a bowling alley would be misleading. In addition to those super-stylish shoes and snack food galore, these lanes also feature live bands, dance parties and movies throughout the summer. Must be 18 to enter. For hours and pricing, go to www.asburylanes.com.

Day 81: The Devil's Tree
by Jersey Journal
Monday August 25, 2008, 3:21 PM
The Devil's Tree
Want a scare in the middle of the summer? Take a nighttime drive and check out the Devil's Tree in Bernard's Township. It is said that during colonial times, unruly slaves were hanged from the branch that runs almost parallel to the ground and local history generally imparts this malicious character to the tree. Make sure to keep your wits about you. For more information visit www.weirdnj.com.
