NORTHVALE DINER


Fast and Fabulous Cycling/Front Runners New York
Jan. 26, 2003

by Sue Foster


This is a moderately hilly, roundabout route to Northvale, N.J., which is in northern Bergen County on the border with New York State.  The diner is a favorite destination of New York Cycle Club riders, and it’s safe to leave the bike unlocked out front.  It’s still not a bad idea to get a table with a window view!  The cue sheet starts and ends at the Boathouse in Central Park, though the routes between the park and the George Washington Bridge are not the same.
