Nearby Downtown Westfield and Downtown Cranford have a bunch of adorable shops, restaurants/cafes, and parks to check out.

A few of our favorites:

Mindowaskin Park

If you're exploring Westfield, add a stop to Mindowaskin Park. We always stop by here after having some delicious food in town to get some fresh air. Features a lovely pond with bridges and gazebos.

Cranford

Track 5 Coffee

If you're in Cranford and need a pick-me-up, you have to try the coffee at Track 5. Located right in the heart of downtown Cranford, we've been coming here for years. They have a wide variety of options with local baked goods and delicious seasonal specials. A must if you're in town.

Pastosa Ravioli

Located across from the Cranford train station and right by the wedding reception hall, Pastosa's is a great place to stop by and get a lunch on the go. Their sandwiches are the best around and have delicious hot or cold food to go.
