Places to get your ‘Grease’ on in New Jersey

There's plenty of talk about the TV production of "Grease Live" that aired on Fox last night.

If you find yourself still humming "Greased Lightning" or "Summer Nights," you'll be happy to know there's a few places in New Jersey where you can grab a bit of that fun, '50s-era atmosphere.

The Chatterbox Drive-In

Hit the road and visit Sussex County's year-round fix for '50s fun.  Its famous Cruise Nights return in May, attracting classic car buffs from all over.

Nifty Fifty's restaurant

In Gloucester County, this family owned full-service restaurant in Turnersville offers a retro vibe, plus a Family Fun Center with mini-golf and a game room.   

Delsea Drive-in

Yes, there's still a drive-in movie theater in New Jersey — this one in Vineland. Admissions are "always a double feature" — and sometimes a triple! The venue right now is in winter hibernation, but reopens spring through late fall.

Lead East

This annual oldies music and car festival doesn't happen until the end of summer- but it's worth the wait for any 50's fan who's never been.  From incredible hot rods, to live music, a sock hop and 50's karaoke, the five-day event in Parsippany has it all.

BONUS:

Watch a song from the Grease Live!  production that aired on Fox, to rev up your appreciation for Jersey's retro gems.
