Montclair Lands On List Of ’12 Best Small Towns In New Jersey’

MONTCLAIR, NJ — A pair of towns in Essex County recently made the cut for a list of the “12 Best Small Towns In New Jersey.”

The travelandleisure.com list included Montclair and Millburn, and sought to highlight towns with “historic sites, beautiful architecture, mouthwatering eats and eclectic shopping.” See the full list here.

Here’s what travelandleisure.com had to say about Montclair:

“About 40 minutes from New York City lies the charming suburb of Montclair, a town best known for its eclectic boutiques, including Culture Couture, White Rabbit Black Heart, Giftbar, and Oasis. After indulging in some retail therapy, grab a bite at Halycon Brasserie (don't miss the raw bar), Palazzo Pasta Company (come on Friday or Saturday evenings for live music), Koreander (fresh kimchi, anyone?), or Marcel Bakery and Kitchen (for breakfast, light bites, and coffee). Extend your trip with an overnight stay at The George, a chic, 31-room boutique hotel owned by acclaimed makeup artist and Montclair resident Bobbi Brown.”
