MORRISTOWN, NJ — Just in time for the warm late spring weather, Morris Township-area residents can enjoy a brand-new green space with the opening of a family-run business on South Street.

The Morristown Patch previously shared the news that South Street Gardens, a new shop specializing in gardening, home, and floral products, would soon be joining the community. Now, that moment has arrived, as the shop officially opened its doors to customers this past weekend.

The neighborhood greenhouse, located at 383 South Street in Morristown, provides community members with a one-stop shop for a wide range of products, catering to both seasoned gardeners and beginners alike. Now open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 PM, visitors are invited to explore the open-air patio, filled with hanging baskets, tropical plants, annuals, perennials and unique gifts.

Other features of the garden center include a nursery, a florist station, a gift shop, an event space, and, according to officials, a new on-site coffee shop is set to open in the near future.

The florist station creates fresh, custom arrangements for any occasion—weddings, events, or simply to brighten your day. Pricing for custom arrangements varies based on the request, officials said. Flower varieties may also vary depending on seasonal availability.

The study, which ranked towns based on cost of living and median household income, placed Morristown second on the list.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — With rising living costs across the country, Morristown stands out as one of the most affordable towns in the U.S., according to a recent study.

A new report from The Motley Fool, an investment guidance website, ranked Morristown as the second most affordable city to live in, behind only McKinney, Texas, a suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth.

To identify the most affordable places to live, The Motley Fool compared median household income to cost-of-living data across cities in the U.S. The report found that Morristown has a cost of living of $79,899 and a median household income of $115,409.

"The small town of 20,000 is located 20 miles west of Newark and 30 miles west of New York City. Its cost of living is slightly above the national average, but that's more than offset by the median household income there being 41% above the national median," Jack Caporal, research director at The Motley Fool wrote.

According to the report, housing costs in Morristown are above the national average, with housing expenses 30% higher. However, costs for utilities, transportation, and healthcare are all close to the national average.

The cost-of-living index for each city was determined using data from the Council for Community and Economic Research's Q4 2024 Annual Average Cost of Living Index, which tracks 61 goods and services across 254 urban areas, according to The Motley Fool.

To estimate the cost of living, each city's cost-of-living index score was multiplied by the median annual household expenditure in the U.S., yielding an estimate of median expenses per household. Median income data was determined by the 2024 American Community Survey, while household expenditure data was taken from the 2024 Consumer Expenditure Survey.

The income-to-expense ratio was then calculated by dividing the city's median household income by its estimated cost of living. A higher ratio signifies greater affordability, reflecting a higher income relative to the cost of living.

Other cities that ranked highly in the report include Edmond, OK, Midland, TX, Joliet, IL, and Atlanta, GA.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — A Boston favorite is set to win over the hearts of Morristown residents this spring as Tatte Bakery & Café expands its presence in New Jersey.

The popular bakery chain, with around 27 locations across Massachusetts and 16 in the D.C. metro area, will open its newest store in Morristown, beneath M Station at the Sanofi building on Morris Street.

While details remain limited, the new venture is slated to open later this spring, tentatively in May, according to officials.

Although Tatte is relatively new to the New Jersey scene—with its first location set to open in Ridgewood—the concept has already made a name for itself in Boston, where it was founded in 2007 by Tzurit Or.

Tatte's vision has always been rooted in simplicity: to bring people together around great food and pastries while creating a sense of comfort and belonging, Or said.

The café is currently hiring for its Morristown location, including an Assistant General Manager and a Café Head Chef.
