Named for being located at the summit of New Jersey’s Watchung Mountains, Summit, New Jersey is a somewhat small town known for its food and its arts scene, which includes the historic Summit Playhouse, that’s worth the trip. Consisting of just six square miles, the town of Summit also offers a variety of unique outdoor activities, as well as several special events throughout the year. The eclectic downtown district of Summit is home to over two hundred unique restaurants and boutiques. For a relaxing, outdoor attraction, the Reeves-Reed Arboretum offers a number of specialty gardens.
