Readers' Choice: Staycation Locations

Where do you go when you don't want to leave home. Vote in our Readers' Choice poll.

Not everyone wants or can get away for a week's vacation, but that doesn't mean we aren't looking for fun and enriching things to do during our time off. This week, Patch wants to know what you do when you don't want to go too far from home. We've drawn our initial list from our "Places" directory in Mercer and Middlesex counties, but we encourage you to post comments suggesting the addition of any places that are not included. Voting closes at 9 a.m. Friday. Ties will be broken by location with the most positive comments below, and reviews on Patch Places. We will announce the winner at noon Friday. Here are some "staycation" locations to consider: Happy voting!
