I am not big on golfing and am a pretty terrible golfer, but I do like to hit the ball here and there. Closter Golf is probably the best driving range I've been to. It is very big and can accommodate many people at the same time. The price for a bucket of balls is fairly cheap and it is a fun place to come with a group of friends for a different kind of evening.
I've seen more serious golfers come there to practice their swing as well.
There are refreshments available as well as a golf store with equipment for sale. I can't really speak to quality or prices given my limited golf knowledge.
But, if you are looking for something to do on a random night, coming to the driving range here is a cool thing to do once in a while.

There are many movie theaters in the Bergen County area, but none compare to this one. It is a relatively big movie theater, especially compared to the other ones in the area and this definitely has its advantages. The theaters are bigger, the seats are much more comfortable, and the screens are a tad bigger. You don't feel cramped and the screen isn't too close to you. In addition, you don't have to sit at a weird angle compared to the screen.
Usual complaints about movie theater prices still exist as refreshments are ridiculously overpriced, but this applies across the board and the prices charged here are the same as any other theater you would go to.
This theater also has the advantage of having a lot of titles running concurrently.

This is one of the few bike stores in the area and it has a very decent selection of bikes. My family has gotten bikes for the entire family there. They carry many brand names and the bikes they sell are all very high quality. I bought a Trek bike and have been extremely happy with it. The sales staff there are extremely knowledgable and can help you gauge what type of bike you should get.
The store also does repairs and has experienced mechanics to fix both routine and major problems that you may encounter with your bicycle.
I would recommend checking this place out if you are in the market for a bike. Compare prices on the internet to make sure you are getting a good deal, but I think their prices are relatively competitive.

The JCC in Tenafly is a wonderful facility that caters to both jewish people and non-jewish people. While the name might appear to suggest otherwise, it is open to everyone.
It is a great facility with many different things. There is both an indoor and outdoor pool which are in heavy use. In addition, there are basketball courts, racquetball courts, and a full gym with free weights and machines.
Many events are also held at the JCC and it is a cultural gathering place for many Jewish holidays. There is also a teen room with games and equipment and a summer camp.
For those moving to the Bergen County area, specifically Tenafly, this is a facility worth checking out.

The Liberty Science Center is an amazing place to take your kids. It is a very educational place, but one where kids can have a lot of fun. The exhibits are designed to be very engaging and interactive. I have been there several times and have greatly enjoyed myself each and every time. One of the best exhibits is the touch tunnel where you crawl through a darkened tunnel and are guided only by touch.
This is a wonderful place to go with children on a weekend or even a good location for a field trip. One of my friends even had his birthday there when we were kids.

Center Stage is a wonderful store to go to if you or your child needs ballet equipment such as pointe shoes. I do not dance, but my sister is an avid dancer and has gone to this place for several years now. They are one of the few places in the area that can supply you with pointe shoes and other hard to find equipment. My sister has always been satisfied with the quality of the shoes and from what I understand, they take care of any tailoring needs that may arise. They also have more common equipment and clothing like leotards and tights.
If you are looking for a serious store to purchase ballet shoes and equipment, this is a good place to consider.

Century 21 is a really great store to get high quality designer clothes at low prices. I have been there countless times and have always found great bargains.
For men, I would say you should always start your search for dress shirts here, especially if you are looking to simply build your wardrobe. You can get good solid white or blue shirts for really cheap. Also, the store is great for ties.
You can also get really good deals on shoes. I've gotten two high end pairs - one pair of Cole Haan dress shoes and one pair of Johnston & Murphy dress shoes - for less than $100 each.
The couple downsides are that there are no dressing rooms to try stuff on. You have to take it home and if you don't like it or it doesn't fit return it. That's the other annoying area. The lines to return things are usually really long so it's a bit of a hassle.
Still, given the great deals they have, this is a great store!

AC Moore recently opened up in the Pyramid Mall. It is a great store for all kinds of needs. They sell materials for any and all arts and crafts projects that one might want to do with their children.
They also sell great solid color t-shirts to either do crafts on or just to wear. The shirts are extremely cheap and I've actually gotten a couple just to wear, without doing any work on it.
AC Moore has a huge selection of frames and, something that I think sets them apart, is that they have pre-cut mats for most normal sizes. This comes in very handy as the pre-cut mats are much cheaper and just as good as custom ones in most cases.
I would highly recommend AC Moore to anyone in the Ithaca area.

The Rag Shop is a great local arts and crafts store where you will find any and all supplies that you need. They have a custom framing department that does any framing job you need. The work is very high quality and they seal the pictures to help fight humidity and mold over time.
The store is large and has a lot of specials and events. You can find pretty much anything to meet your creative needs.
The Rag Shop can compete with any of the big chains on price and selection and I would highly recommend it if you live in the area.

The Clarion is a local hotel. I would say its biggest advantage is that it is in a good location. It is in between the way from Pyramid Mall and the Cornell Campus. If you need to be close to Cornell, then this is a good bet.
The hotel is not the most luxurious, but it is definitely not a "sketchy" place either. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
There is also a convention center that some might want to take advantage of.
Prices are comparable to what you would expect to pay at other nearby hotels.
A word of advice for those about to start at Cornell. Make reservations for graduation day pretty much at the same time that you send in your acceptance letter and check. By orientation time, most students have already booked hotels and they become scarce. If you wait too long, you and your parents will end up in Cortland or farther away.
