We’re diving into a family-friendly cooking class at 1653 Pizza Company, where you’ll learn how to make the perfect pizza pie. Then we head to an old velvet mill that has been reimagined into a vibrant hub of boutique businesses, with everything from artisan bakeries and craft distilleries to creative arts and wellness studios. Then it's game on at Hometown Arcade in Bloomfield, New Jersey, where $20 unlocks unlimited play on over 40 classic games, pinball, skeeball and air hockey. There's endless fun to be had on this week's Road Trip Close to Home.
