Fort Lee is a city in Bergen County. This town is comprised of a large residential community that includes Fort Lee natives, transplants from New York, and immigrants, especially from Korea. This cultural diversity is represented through the vast variety of international restaurants and small business, and in particular, there is a strong Korean presence that can be seen in retail and dining storefronts.

This "joint" is the real deal for burgers, fries, and famous hot dogs. For a small price to pay, you will be talking and dreaming about this meal for years to come. It's a one of a kind, ma and pop shop.
Great pizza, a favorite of Fort Lee Police Department and many other locals. Open late, and great for late night snacks, or to order in for the big game.
Family-run pizzeria and restaurant. Native to Calabria, Italy, this family's business has thrived for almost 4 decades. Dine in or take out.
A family business turned franchise. The definition of success, as a couple from Greece opened their first location locally they now operate 9 restaurants. Each restaurant is friendly, has a comfortable atmosphere and sparks a desire for Greek food and specialties. The sunny Greek Island decor is the restaurant's signature and provides a cheerful atmosphere for an informal and moderately priced lunch or dinner.

Authentic Chinese cuisine. More of an upscale atmosphere, with an extensive menu for lunch of dinner.

formerly a Holiday Inn
Near the Double Tree, this hotel offers a similar landscape, with lower rates and comparable amenities.
Across Rt. 4 from the Holiday Inn. This hotel is a little more secluded from the busy roadways, and offers great group rates. This is located on Rt 4 West Bound, and does not have as much of a view as the others situated on a mountainside. Good for people who are spending most of their time in New York City, and definitely not a destination hotel.
