3. Read a book
There's never a bad time to pick up a book, but if you're looking for an excuse, National Book Lovers Day is Aug. 9. Better yet, take your kids to Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ to find a new read!
4. Go thrifting!
National Thrift Shop Day is Aug. 17. Stock up on school clothes and get something fun for yourself!
5. Sandwich Month
It's National Sandwich Month and, in our opinion, there's nowhere better to get a sandwich than Sparo's in Ramsey, NJ or Primo Hoagies in Allendale, NJ. Great for picnics or catered events!
