A cheaper option than Charrito's, with good Mexican food either for take-out or eating there. They have a few sidewalk tables when it's nice out.

My favorite pizza place in the neighborhood. They have giant slices for when you're hungry and in a rush, or a regular menu for take-out.

Closest grocery store, 1.5 blocks west of our apartment. Carries produce, meats, and all the essentials but not as big as Acme. This is a Hispanic grocery store with plenty of options for typical Latin American ingredients.

Parks & Nature
NJ has a surprising amount of beautiful parks, considering most of us visit for its proximity to NYC. The Palisades is fantastic because in addition to having many miles of hiking & biking trails it's SO close to our urban area. By car, it's about 15-20 minutes from our apt. There are picnic areas & playgrounds, dogs are allowed, and some of the views of the Hudson & NYC are incredible. We go up here regularly since it's so close, and enjoy ourselves spending anywhere from an hour to all day hiking and being surrounded by nature. Ask if you're interested!
