Curious Explorers

Vultures, Irish Breakfast, and Don't Pee on the Devil's Tree

Send us a text

The Curious Explorers are serving up 80s hair, animal symbolism, and what happens if you disrespect the infamous “Devil’s Tree,” in Basking Ridge, NJ. Even better, all of this comes with a complimentary Irish breakfast. It’s so hearty and delicious, even “Annabelle” makes a cameo tonight. So touch up that Aquanet, pull up a chair at the Woolworth’s counter, order yourself some turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, and keep an eye out for those vultures.
