My niece and her husband relocated to the NYC area 7 years ago. They decided to buy in Berkeley Heights just north of Summit. Also a nice area, but not so pricey.
The picture of Summit’s main street is lovely and just as I remember it when I visit them in NJ. They also have beautiful churches there. St. Theresa’s Catholic Church is beautiful, and in mid July they celebrate her feast day with an all day affair, parade, dinner, etc., regardless of the day of the week They top it off with a gigantic fireworks event. My relatives never miss it.
Across from St. Theresa’s is a Carmelite cloister and convent where they make beautiful soaps and candles for sale.
The feast in mid-July is the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, July 16th. The festival and fireworks you are thinking of take place in Berkeley Heights, not Summit.
Across from St. Theresa’s is a Carmelite cloister and convent where they make beautiful soaps and candles for sale.
It is more like down the street than across the street and it is a Dominican monastery.
Dominican. I buy their soap.
