Let me be the first to welcome you and your first post---I think you'll find you made a great decision. I get to retire in 5 weeks, sell my house in NY , and move in later this year.
As far as "nightlife" goes, things in TV tend to quiet down by about 9, much unlike the NYC area. When you exclude music, shows, and movies, I have to ask what you do at night in NJ?. I have never been to Katie Belle's, but a lot of villagers love it. If you like eating a bit later, a lot of the crowds at restaurants have cleared out by 7:30-8. I'm about as young as I can be to qualify to live in TV, but even now most of my evening activity outside of the three mentioned would be some dinner parties and card games, I'm past the time of staying out to 3 AM at clubs. There will be better replies from residents who have lived here for years forthcoming, I'm sure.
BTW, love the Mets logo--I essentially grew up with them, saw my first game when the played at the polo grounds, followed the 1969 season with great enthusiasm, and Mr. Mets even appeared at my nephew's wedding reception.
Good luck with the new chapter in your lives.
