Holiday Shopping in the Hub City

We're in the swing of holiday shopping season, and New Brunswick has options for all the people on your list. We've compiled a quick list of suggestions for places to check out for the perfect gift:

1. Theater Tickets: State Theatre has a myriad of performances and shows scheduled throughout the winter. George Street Playhouse will continue to show "Clever Little Lies" through Dec. 22 and will open "Assisted Living" on Jan. 28. Over on Church Street, the Stress Factory has comedians performing weekly.
