Les meilleurs hôtels à North Bergen

Bergen County -- the part of New Jersey that hugs the Hudson and is always getting kicked around by New York -- has plenty of its own history. In fact, a century before the American Revolution got started, this suburban haven was an already officially recognized county; in 1983 it celebrated the 300th anniversary of its founding. Nearly six dozen townships and boroughs occupy this slice of the northeastern corridor -- with names like Hackensack, Saddle Brook, Bogota (no relation to its Colombian cousin), Teaneck and Ho-Ho-Kus -- sharing the landscape with old Dutch farmhouses and war memorials. And while Bergen is full of history and a cozy community spirit, it's also full of money -- it's the fifth most-affluent county in the nation. If you've had it up to your eyeballs with urban congestion, you'll be interested to know that a whopping 70 percent of the county's land is devoted to residential use, with the remaining 30 percent almost equally divided between commercial and public interests. As you might expect, a lot of New Yorkers are giving up their high-priced Manhattan shoeboxes in the sky for a bit more Bergen breathing room.
