Downtown Delights

A number of communities in Bergen boast extensive downtown shopping districts including Ridgewood’s East Ridgewood Avenue, Englewood’s Palisade Avenue and Dean Street, Westwood’s five corners, Teaneck’s Cedar Lane, Ramsey’s Main Street and Woodcliff Lake’s Tice’s Corner Marketplace. Allendale, Wyckoff, Ho-Ho-Kus and Rutherford also feature a diverse range of antique, specialty shops and boutiques. 

Bergen is the only county in New Jersey which enforces Blue Laws – legislation that limits Sunday shopping. Paramus strictly observes these laws, therefore major malls and other retail stores are closed on Sunday. Other Bergen communities also adhere to restrictions; therefore most retail outlets are closed.
