Ridgewood is a village of 25,000 people (2019) in New Jersey . It is a suburban bedroom community of New York City, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Midtown Manhattan. This article also covers the adjacent community of Ho-Ho-Kus .

The nearest airport with regular scheduled service is Newark-Liberty International in Newark ( EWR   IATA ), New Jersey. LaGuardia Airport ( LGA   IATA ) and JFK   IATA International Airport (the busiest in the US) are also nearby in Queens , New York .

NJ Transit and Metro North - the Ridgewood train station is in the heart of Downtown Ridgewood. The railroad tracks divide Downtown and the village into two sections, East Ridgewood and West Ridgewood. Being a part of the Main/Bergen County Line and Port Jervis Line, it can facilitate a smoother commute to the town, from Hoboken in the south (and Secaucus Junction offering a connection to New York Penn Station), up north to either Waldwick, Suffern , or Port Jervis , the latter two in a quiet section of the border towns in New York. As of September 2017, the average price for a ticket to/from Hoboken amounts to $9, while travel time would be at average, 45 minutes.

Amtrak - Newark Penn Station in Newark , New Jersey offers Amtrak service to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, New York City, and all points beyond and in between. Amtrak's ACELA Express trains service Newark Penn and travel between Washington DC and Boston. Other area Amtrak stations are New York Penn Station in New York City and Metropark Station in Iselin , NJ. You'll have to take a transfer from Secaucus on a NJ Transit train, then take a Main/Bergen County Line or Port Jervis Line train if you'd wish to visit Ridgewood, as there's no direct Amtrak service to Ridgewood.

Ridgewood Bus Terminal - right across from Van Neste Square in Downtown Ridgewood, is served by NJ Transit buses heading all over the area including direct buses to New York City .

Port Authority Bus Terminal (New York City)- Greyhound Bus service to and from anywhere. All major bus companies serve Port Authority. Also served by NJ Transit, New York city, and Long Island Transit buses. Also served by NYC Subways. Full amenities, much like an airport, range from restaurants, news stands, and stores selling all items.

Ridgewood can be accessed from NJ-4 (through Fair Lawn and Glen Rock), NJ-17 (through Wyckoff, Paramus, or Ridgewood exits), and NJ-208 (through Glen Rock). There are no car rental offices in Downtown Ridgewood but there is an Enterprise Rent-A-Car about 1 mile north of Downtown near the border with Ho-Ho-Kus. There is also a multitude of car rental offices in nearby Paramus.

Orientation

Ridgewood is a fairly large town with many different neighborhoods so it is important to get somewhat aqauinted with all of them if you are planning on exploring Ridgewood outside of downtown:

• Downtown - The central area of the town. Most of what you would want to see and do is in this neighborhood. It is divided into two areas: East Downtown and West Downtown (separated by the NJ Transit railroad tracks). East Downtown (which straddles E. Ridgewood Ave. and the surrounding streets) is by far the larger of the two sides and has a vibrant energy to it and is home to "action". West Downtown (which incorporates the areas around W. Rigewood Ave. and Wilsey Sq.) has more of a quaint and small town attitude to it. But don't be fooled by the quaint vibe of W. Downtown because most if not all of the stores are luxury stores selling luxury goods. The main streets of the Downtown neighborhood are Ridgewood Ave. (east to N Maple Ave. and west to Godwin Ave.), Wilsey Sq., Van Neste Sq., Franklin Ave., Godwin Ave., N. Maple Ave., and Broad Street (north of Brogan Cadillac).
• Broad Street - Straddles Broad Street south of Downtown (After Brogan Cadillac). The grungiest area of Ridgewood is home to mainly multi-family homes and apartment buildings. Luckily, "the worst part of town" only runs along Broad Street and only a couple houses into the surrounding streets.
• Old Ridgwood - The oldest part of Ridgewood. Located south of Downtown and east of Broad Street all the way up to the border with Glen Rock). Mainly homes built on treelined streets, many of which with original stone-paved "gutters" on the sides of the roads. Home to some of the largest houses in Ridgewood. Be aware when driving in this area that many of the streets are very narrow and some have not been paved in a very long time leaving ruts and potholes around. During the winter on icy roads due to the fact that most roads heading east of this area eventually scale a steep and poorly paved road down to other roads. To avoid the steep icy roads, head west until you hit Broad Street and the head north of Broad Street until you reach downtown. Head east on E. Ridgewood Ave. and at the intersection with Maple Ave., make a right onto S. Maple Ave. From here you should be able to access wherever you need to go with going down a steep, poorly pave street.

Walking is the best way to get around Downtown Ridgewood because it is not very large, but a car will be needed if you plan to get out of Downtown, the best way is with a car because local bus service is limited. To cross to the smaller downtown sector of West Ridgewood, take the pedestrian-only underpass, or the a road with a narrow sidewalk under pass under the train tracks.

The best way to get around Ridgewood outside of Downtown. Traffic in Downtown Ridgewood is somewhat congested and on weekends there is a shortage of parking. On-street parking and public lot parking within Downtown is metered, so be sure to have change with you.

Local bus service (NJ Transit) is limited and stops within Ridgewood, locally, are few and far between.

• Van Neste Square - the center of East Ridgewood and the center of Ridgewood. Home to Van Neste Park and various monuments, statues, benches and green areas perfect for a picnic.
• Van Neste Park - a large park in the center of town in East Ridgewood. The centerpoint of Van Neste Square. Hangout spot for many people. Monuments, status, benches, and green areas.
• Wilsey Square - the center of West Ridgewood. Surrounded by shops and eateries.
• Railroad Square - park area surrounding both sides of the Ridgewood Train Station. Onsite eateries and cafes on the eastern side.
• Bergen County Public Park (Ridgewood) - the Ridgewood arm of the enormous Bergen County Public Park. The park is set along heavily wooded paths that connect oversized parks in various towns. Gives a feeling of the forest in the middle of the suburbs. One could wander around the whole park for days and never go to the same place. The Ridgewood arm of the park is one of the largest sections and is home to a large pond, a dog park, walking trails, a large playground, as well as parking and restroom facilities. Located East of downtown near Paramus and Ridgewood High School.

This is probably also being peddled in NY, to get the new voter base constructed.

” I understand”

Where is the nightclub?

Who needs one when you have classical Greek cuisine with a wall to protect you from those nasty cars and you can get your picture taken with the Mayor?

BTW, does he also wear a belt with those suspenders?

Is this a council piece?

Who came up with this. Stop drinking the water.

I love Valley Acupuncture & Wellness Center! A friend of mine recommended Valley Acupuncture to me after I had been struggling with many aches and pains and other issues I was experiencing internally. I never even thought of acupuncture as something that could help me, but it has helped me greatly! My aches and pains have lessened just after 2 months and I feel relaxed and happy. I look forward to my sessions with Cara at Valley Acupuncture because they are always such a great experience. Cara is extremely knowledgeable and she explains everything to you in great detail. She will ask you thorough questions about your health and lifestyle and suggest ways in which you can improve. She is very kind and helps you work through all your aches and worries. The office is beautiful and calming. The moment you walk in you can tell they take great pride in their office space. I rarely ever see another patient coming and going; they have their timing down to a T! Also, they will let you know if Cara is running late so you don't have to rush in to the office. All of these extra little things make my experience at Valley Acupuncture a great experience overall.

Was recommended by someone to come see Cara, I have to say there all such lovely staff especially Cara. I love her she really listens to you and cares about your progress and well being. If I can give 10 stars I would. Never a wait to be seen, the office is relaxing but inviting and comforting. If you never tried cupping or acupuncture you MUST here!!!

Valley Acupuncture is as good as it gets! I absolutely love both practitioners, Mary and Cara. I've seen both of them multiple times and each time I leave feeling like a new person! They're both so gentle and kind and put your needs above all. They make you feel so welcomed and comfortable the second you walk in. Each room is decorated so beautifully and the vibes are incredibly relaxing. I would recommend Valley Acupuncture to anyone and everyone!

I have been getting acupuncture done for almost 10 years now and I can confidently say of everywhere I have been I am the most pleased with Valley Acupuncture. The environment is extremely warm, calm, and welcoming; the second you walk in you feel a sense of relief and relaxation. The staff always has a smile on and welcomes you in with big arms and healing hearts. They are extremely giving and want nothing more than to help heal you in any way they can. I have been seen by both Cara and Mary multiple times and they both have consistently provided healing treatments that make me feel relaxed and calm with relief. I have gone with complaints of headaches, body aches, fatigue, and so much more, and each time they are able to help me. They are extremely gentle and caring, they listen to everything you have to say, and they inform you about anything you have questions about, reassuring you the entire time. Every time I leave Valley Acupuncture I leave with a smile and look forward to my next appointment. I would recommend Valley Acupuncture to anybody and everybody. They are the best out there!

What to Expect

We feel honored to come alongside families as children are guided to Christ and living out the way of Jesus. Grace Kids is passionate about building up the body of Christ in our littlest members. Learn more about our the Grace Kids ministry program.

We put careful thought and selection into the sound, style and substance of our music in order to keep it Christ-centered, theologically rich, musically beautiful and singable as a congregation. We have a  Spotify playlist that is made up of the songs we use for worship on Sundays – feel free to give it a listen!

We set aside time in our Sunday gathering to focus our hearts on the One we’ve come to worship. The congregation is led by one of our leaders in a guided time of silence, reflection, thanksgiving and supplication.

Our messages come from the Word of God which we believe to be a wholly sufficient guide for life and faith. We teach books in their entirety, verse by verse, starting with original audience intent and then application for our own lives.

We take communion at the end of each service, encouraging all followers of Christ to participate in the remembrance of His sacrifice on the cross. Before partaking, we dedicate time to personal reflection, confession, repentance, and accepting forgiveness.

After the close of service, many choose to gather together throughout the church and grounds for a quick catch up before venturing into the rest of their day.

Remembering Young Edgewater Activist Jahnan Rahimpour

Jahnan Rahimpour was wise beyond his years.

Jahnan Rahimpour with his mother, Asal, and father, Reza Rahimpour.

Jahnan Rahimpour

Jahnan Rahimpour volunteers at the Edgewater Marina.

Jahnan Rahimpour with his mother, Asal, and father, Reza Rahimpour.

Jahnan with one of his favorite teachers, AnnMarie Grieco. The two participated in the robotic challenge together.

One of Jahnan's earliest 3D design projects.

Jahnan and his parents celebrate the Persian New Year, Norouz.

At just 14 years old, the Edgewater native was already an activist who was passionate about volunteering and did so often. His most recent volunteer work was at the Leonia Library and at the Bergen County Rowing Academy, developing skills of newcomers at Overpeck Park.

Fluent in Farsi, Jahnan was proud of his Persian heritage and was thrilled to visit his parents' native country of Iran this summer for his aunt's wedding.

It was during that trip, though, that joy turned to tragedy for Jahnan's family. Or as his mother, Asal, says: "The wedding turned to a funeral."

Jahnan was riding a motorized toy bicycle when he struck a tree and died on impact on Aug. 23 in his beloved villa in Tehran, leaving his mother Asal, and father, Reza Rahimpour, mourning the loss of their only child. 

A funeral was held in Iran, but a memorial has been planned to honor Jahnan in the town he loved so much on Sunday, Sept. 15 at Veteran's Field in Edgewater. The vigil is being held along Jahnan's "favorite river and in his cherished park with the view he loved," his mother said.

"Jahnan was a very good kid," his mother said. "But we didn’t know how good he was until we started reading all of these comments and receiving these heartfelt messages from everyone in the neighborhood."

The family's building concierge, dog walkers, and teachers began reaching out to Jahnan's parents after his death, sharing stories and memories of all the ways he went out of his way to help or brighten someone's day. 

"He had this amazing power to connect with people of all different ages," Asal said.

"Jahnan was my student in 2nd Grade," his former teacher said in a Facebook comment. "He was a bright, kind boy with excellent manners. He loved being my engineering assistant and would help me fix things in the classroom. I am so saddened by this news and I share my most sincere condolences with Asal and her family."

"It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the tragic passing of our swim teammate Jahnan Rahimpour," the Leonia Summer Swim Team said in an Instagram post. "Jahnan was a talented swimmer who always brought enthusiasm, humor and team spirit to practices and meets. We will all miss him more than words can express."

Jahnan grew up attending Edgewater's public schools where his mother said he was known for his courage and his interest in helping others. 

Jahnan excelled in tech. In fourth grade, he was the only Edgewater student to participate in a robotic challenge with more than 8,000 people worldwide. With help from a teacher, he made it to the top 20. It all happened while Jahnan was coping with his father's severe COVID case, which kept him hospitalized for 42 days and intubated for 12.

Jahnan transferred into a private school for sixth grade, but yearned to return to Edgewater, telling his parents he wanted to go back to "his town."

Jahnan returned for sixth grade, beginning middle school in Leonia, Edgewater's sister city, where students from both towns merge after sixth grade.

"In middle school, Jahnan made a beautiful community," Asal said. "He was very in charge and involved. Everyone who knew him knew him as a very caring person. Some teachers commented saying he respected others and cared more than anything about the community and volunteering."

One of Jahnan's school teachers said he will treasure the memories of having had Jahnan in class.

"He was a bright student and a talented individual," he said in a tribute shared with the family. "He had an uncanny ability to make me laugh even on a tough day.  I will always remember that about him going forward and use it to remind me to make room for a smile."

Another educator shared the following with Jahnan's parents:

Jahnan was a remarkable boy, and his infectious smile never failed to brighten my day whenever he entered my office. thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us and allowing us at Leonia Middle School to experience the joy he brought into the lives of others. I absolutely adored Jahnan and his memory will always hold a special place in my heart. You have undoubtedly raised a remarkable young man who will be deeply missed by all who were fortuante enough to know him. 

The memorial for Jahnan was supposed to be a small one, but the amount of people who have expressed interest in coming keeps getting larger, Jahnan's mother said.

"The people who want to attend the ceremony is overwhelming," Asal said. "It shows us how special Jahnan was as a person, how caring he was as a young person in the community. 

"Unfortunately he couldn’t achieve all his dreams and goals but if he was still living in this world, he had a lot to offer. Wherever he was going."

Honoring Jahnan: Sunday, Sept. 15, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Veteran's Park in Edgewater.
