Places to Visit in Ridgewood
Cafe 37
An intimate BYOB in downtown Ridgewood serving seasonal New American plates — seafood, pasta, and hearty mains — with real culinary polish at fair prices. A perennial pick for a relaxed, well-cooked dinner out.
Downtown Ridgewood
Bergen County's most vibrant walkable Main Street, anchored by the NJ Transit train station. Independent boutiques, bakeries, specialty food shops, and cafes line the blocks around Ridgewood Avenue. The village hosts outdoor concerts, a weekly farmers market, Art Night Out, and a beloved Holiday Stroll every December.
It's Greek To Me
A friendly, family-run Greek taverna in downtown Ridgewood serving generous plates of souvlaki, gyros, spanakopita, and fresh salads since 1986. Casual, healthy, and easy with kids — a reliable Mediterranean go-to.
Old Paramus Reformed Church & Cemetery
One of Bergen County's oldest congregations, organized in 1735. Both British and American forces used the church as a field hospital during the Revolutionary War, and Washington's troops encamped nearby. The 1800 church building still stands alongside an 18th-century churchyard with historic headstones — a quietly affecting connection to the county's deepest history.
Poke Zone
A quick, colorful build-your-own poke bowl shop in the heart of Ridgewood. Fresh fish, crisp vegetables, and bold sauces make it a fast, healthy lunch or grab-and-go dinner.
Rey Sol Coffee
A cheerful independent coffee shop on Chestnut Street in downtown Ridgewood, pouring quality espresso drinks and serving pastries in a relaxed, welcoming space. A great spot to caffeinate before wandering the village.
Ridgewood Public Library
One of Bergen County's finest public libraries with an outstanding children's department, regular author events, film screenings, and community programs. Known for its excellent selection and welcoming atmosphere. A great rainy-day destination.
Schoolhouse Museum
An authentic one-room schoolhouse built in 1872 and preserved by the Ridgewood Historical Society. The museum houses a collection of historic artifacts documenting Ridgewood's evolution from a small agricultural community to a thriving Bergen County suburb. An excellent stop to pair with a visit to the Ridgewood Public Library nearby.
Van Dyk's Ice Cream
A legendary seasonal ice cream parlor across from Ridgewood's Graydon Pool, scooping ultra-rich homemade ice cream to long, happy lines all summer. A cash-only Bergen County rite of passage for families.
