Easton Tower

Reviewed By ma22461 - North Haledon, United States

Saw the tower while walking along Saddle River County Park path. Just keep walking along the path to get to it. A little eerie when passing under Route 4. Good place to sit and rest along the way. People have probably passed by many times but never stoped to check it out. Rumor has it the tower's haunted!

Reviewed By 208rebeccao - Ridgewood, United States

Went to Whole Foods, Disney store and Sticky’s. Satisfied with Whole Foods and Disney store. At Sticky’s we got the classic sandwich basket ($9.84) - it was average. I recommend the strawberry lemonade! It is fantastic! It was on the small size and it cost 3.05 but sooooo worth it! I wish I would have bought more to drink later.
