Places to Visit in Fort Lee

Barrymore Film Center

A not-for-profit cultural cinema in Fort Lee — the birthplace of the American film industry. The Barrymore presents classic films, documentaries, independent cinema, world cinema, and live performances while celebrating the remarkable role this Bergen County town played in the earliest days of moviemaking. Named after the legendary Barrymore acting family who worked in Fort Lee's silent-film era studios.

Fort Lee Museum

Fort Lee has a surprisingly storied history — it was the birthplace of the American film industry and a key Revolutionary War site. This museum brings it all together with archives from the Riviera Nightclub, Fort Lee High School, and the American Revolution. Learn why Washington chose these Palisade cliffs and how silent-film studios once lined these very streets.

Hiram's Roadstand

A Fort Lee institution since 1932, Hiram's serves deep-fried hot dogs, burgers, onion rings, and root beer from a no-frills roadside stand on Palisade Avenue. A certified stop on the Anthony Bourdain Food Trail and a true piece of Bergen County history.

Jack Alter Fort Lee Community Center

Fort Lee's full-service community and recreation center named in honor of longtime local leader Jack Alter. Offers fitness facilities, a swimming pool, gymnasium, youth and senior programs, and community event space for Fort Lee residents of all ages.

Louis Louis

A Louisiana-style seafood boil spot in Fort Lee serving messy, hands-on bags of shrimp, crawfish, clams, and mussels in bold Cajun sauces, plus po'boys and jambalaya. Fun, casual, and made for sharing.

Menya Sandaime

An authentic Japanese ramen shop in Fort Lee dishing out rich, slow-simmered bowls to a devoted following. Casual and consistently excellent — a top pick when you're craving a proper bowl of ramen.
