Planning to go for a long drive this weekend and would love to check out some small scenic towns and try some restaurants in them. Any suggestions? I live in Bergen County but am fine with going an hour or two out.

Chester (Morris County) is nice. You could also pass through Madison and Morristown, on your way there.

If you're willing to drive out to Hunterdon County, you could hit Clinton, Frenchtown, Lambertville, and maybe even hop over to New Hope, PA.

Beat me to it. I was going to suggest some of those.

Head up route 17 to Ringwood & West Milford, then drive through West Milford to Route 23 into Jefferson and through Morris County. You get a nice look of nature and then into some more developed areas.

Driving through Vernon and some of the towns over there are nice after a snowstorm. Not really much snow these days though.

Have you already thoroughly explored Pascack Valley's Revolutionary-era towns?
