Why Montclair?
Montclair is a diverse community filled with artists, musicians and people in the fashion industry. Axis Models originated on Church Street.

Favorite local dining spots?
Cuban Pete’s, Raymond’s, and Giotto

Typical weekends are spent?
On Saturdays I shop along Church Street and South Park Street where you can find a variety of boutiques. I frequent Gina’s Panificio & Café for my breads and pastries. I go running in Edgemont Memorial Park. Montclair has the best pizza in the area, and my choice is Villa Victoria.

Tell us more?
Montclair has beautiful curb appeal and landscaped parks such as the [Presby] Iris Garden and the Van Vleck House. We have amazing views of New York City.
