Clifton is located in Passaic County in northeastern New Jersey, just ten miles west of New York City. It can be reached from Manhattan via both Route 3 and Route 46. It's also served by the Garden State Parkway, Route 19 and Route 21. As of the 2010 census, the population of Clifton was 84,136 residents. It is the state's 11th-largest municipality. The city of Clifton is known for its' hot dog restaurant called Rutt's Hut. Established in 1928, it's long been known as having the best hot dogs in the region. Peter Applebome of The New York Times wrote that it's "on the long shortlist of the state's esteemed hot dog palaces." The city also offers Clifton Commons, a shopping center with lots of restaurants, shops and a 16-screen AMC movie theater, and the Promenade Shops at Clifton, an upscale mall located on Route 3 West. Of course, the city's close proximity to New York City makes it a perfect, less expensive, base to explore "The Big Apple." Take in a Broadway show, spend the day shopping, visit Chinatown, Little Italy, Greenwich Village or spend the day in Central Park. There are more than 150 world-class museums, 18,000 restaurants and unbelievable shopping choices. Most first time visitors will want to see the Statue of Liberty, ride the Staten Island Ferry, and explore the South Street Seaport, which has great views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
