Clifton is comfortably nestled in the heart of Passaic County in New Jersey, where it is home to many Manhattan commuters. All it takes is a quick 30 min bus ride to reach New York City or the beach. However, there is also plenty to see and do in Clifton which makes it an excellent day-trip destination from the Big Apple. History and architecture buffs can visit a few historic houses/museums including the Hamilton House Museum and the Vanderhoef-Westervelt House, both of which feature on the National Register of Historic Places. Art lovers will enjoy the Clifton Art Center and Sculpture Park. There are three shopping malls, a brewery and a distillery to visit.
