Montclair
If you’re looking for an eclectic arts scene mixed with world cuisine and a funky downtown, Montclair is for you. This exurb (urban suburb) is home to writers, artists and musicians, whose presence is felt in the vibrant downtown, on the campus of Montclair State University and in the various theaters and other arts spots.
The walkable downtown centers on Church Street, pedestrian friendly and filled with such locally owned shops as Amanti Vino for unusual wines, Beans for international coffees and Ruby for hip women’s clothes.
On nearby Bloomfield Avenue, you can travel gastronomically at Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant, Cuban Pete’s or Turkish spot Lalezar. Also around town are grand Victorian mansions and Arts and Crafts movement homes.
Several, including the Crane House and Evergreen, are available for tours. They are part of the Victorian Society of Montclair.
