The best areas in Palisades Park are the close proximity to all the greatest sporting events. I can be at Met Life Stadium on Sunday for a Giants game, see the Devils play hockey down the road from my house, or head to NYC to see the Knicks playing in the Garden.

Those not into sports will love Palisades Park because of all the unique food establishes on each block. From fine Italian food to White Castle sliders, Palisades Park is in the middle of it all. The Palisades Center is the best place to go shopping here! Read Less
