I had @GorillaGlenn make me a table in 2015ish. The thing is an absolute rock, so sturdy, high quality, great price. Cannot recommend his service enough.
It's not out of the way on the way to Jersey, Trust me I lived in Conn for 6 years. Take Mass Pike to 84, and 84 will take you to jersey. Maybe 30-45 min difference in time.
Fenway Tour, Aquarium, North End lunch (recommend limoncello)
If you have a car, on your way to Jersey, Take Mass Pike, hit up Treehouse, legitimately best brewery in the country.
