Looking for some heart to heart? We found special places in Livingston to reconnect with your sweetheart.
When you think of romance, you might think of Paris, Tahiti, Hawaii, but Livingston? Don’t laugh. Livingston has some very romantic places where a couple can reconnect ... with or without kids.

I agree the above comment. We do not have great restaurants in Livingston. There is very little ethic diversity. Too many Italian and Chinese restaurants and take out.

They are driving to Montclair, Morris County towns, etc. I am glad that new … more ›
