NJ has a lot of towns from before cars. They're pretty walkable. Lambertville is the classic example.

I live in East Rutherford down the street from this shot. It's actually really walkable. Bus and train are both walking distance from most of the town. When I want to go to American Dream I can take a bus to get there. It's pretty great these days TBH

I’m going to check out Lambertville thank you for the rec! Any must sees there?

Definitely go across the bridge to New Hope PA while you're there. That's the much bigger and more popular tourist spot. There's beautiful huge houses there.

Oh, now that you mention I actually have been there on that cool windy drive along the water and hike at the Goat Hill Overlook. I want to go and do that cool rail trail there too on my bike. I love New Hope!!!

Never knew much about a downtown in Lambertville though

The beauty is that they are walkable to each other. Great restaurants in Lambertville and usually cheaper and less crowded. Cheaper parking and far more accessible. New Hope just has a lot more and a bit more hip. I like to park in Lambertville, walk across the bridge, grab drinks and shop in New Hope, walk back across, and dine in Lambertville. It's a great way to enjoy the best of what the two towns offer.
