Fort Lee

  Riverfront  

Fort Lee is a borough at the eastern border of Bergen County, New Jersey, situated atop the Hudson Palisades and known for its historical significance and strategic location. It is part of the New York metropolitan area and offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, particularly from the George Washington Bridge, which connects Fort Lee to Manhattan. The borough is characterized by a mix of residential areas, commercial districts, and green spaces. High-rise apartments and condominiums are common, especially near the bridge, while quieter, tree-lined streets feature single-family homes. Fort Lee's downtown area, known as "Main Street," has a variety of restaurants, shops, and cultural venues, reflecting the borough's diverse population. The Fort Lee Historic Park and Constitution Park provide residents with recreational opportunities and a touch of nature within the urban environment. The community is active and often gathers for local events and festivals. Fort Lee's proximity to New York City makes it a popular choice for commuters, while its own schools and amenities make it a self-sufficient community.

Local Restaurants

Fort Lee's dining scene caters to a variety of tastes and budgets. At the high end, there's the modern American restaurant HAVEN Riverfront Restaurant and Bar, which offers fine dining with views of the Hudson River. For mid-priced options, diners can enjoy authentic Korean cuisine at Myung Dong Noodle House. Casual, more affordable meals can be found at places like BCD Tofu House, serving Korean comfort food, or Linwood Pizza, known for its classic New Jersey-style pizza.
