OT: RIP The Manor in West Orange.

Wow...shocker. The end of an era. Lots of people's weddings getting canceled out from under them too!

End of an era. Was the gold standard for fancy events when I was growing up.

Shows you bad things must be.

Yes sir …had many family events there …and a lot of memories

Hard to see it go

Went to a prom there as a junior 49 years ago; place and experience was first class and awed this 17 year old. Hope someone buys it and continues its tradition as a wonderful banquet facility.

Wow that’s crazy. My confirmation gathering was there and a buddy’s wedding was there. My family would go to brunch there for special occasions.

I went to a number of events and had a friend who was a waiter there while at SHU. He later became a Banquet Manager or Director.

It was a nice place.

Catering halls a bit of the thing of the past. Bye Short Hills Caterers, the Atrium, the Manor. And Mayfair Farms is a giant parking lot for Wonder trucks. RIP seafood buffet.

Thirty years ago this fall, a day that will live in infamy for the Mrs. and I. All kidding aside, it was a first class place and we hope someone buys it and keeps the business afloat.

Two or three times in my life I went to their holiday buffet. I remember the spread included lobster so it was very popular.

When I think "fancy places of my childhood" It's The Manor 1 and Highlawn Pavillion 2.
