Of course you could check out our general list of outdoor dining in the area, but Peter Genovese of NJ.com/Star Ledger chose this beautiful weather to share his list of NJ’s 20 Best Outdoor Restaurants. While his choices cover the entire state, it’s no surprise that the two from Bergen County that made the list were in Edgewater — as the town is known for it’s excellent Hudson River and NYC views.

Haven (2 Main Street) was highlighted for its “jaw-dropping” view of the Manhattan skyline. Rebecca’s, which doesn’t have a river view, instead got marks for the patio in the back — a grottoed space which Genovese called “stunning”.
