But as someone who grew up in Paterson and neighboring Wayne, I should point out that Paterson is a very high poverty, high crime area. Don't go alone, and be very, very careful. My brother lives in Paterson, but he's not in a nice neighborhood. I'm not sure there are any nice neighborhoods there.

Weehawken - great views of Manhattan, the GWbridge and the verizano at the same time and lots of fun boat traffic. Great for tourist picture taking.
