Highland Park is a small town appealing to a large number of people with a wide range of appetites. Boasting nearly 40 eateries, Highland Park offers a diverse assortment of food options that supply residents and visitors with tasty choices every day. Ranging from pizza stops to gourmet cuisine, Highland Park packs an impressive array of food types that reflect the ethnic diversity of Highland Park’s residents. In addition to several longstanding spots in town, there has been a recent infusion of new restaurants enriching the culinary environment of the community.
“For a town that’s smaller than two square miles and has fewer than 15,000 people, I never cease to be amazed by the quantity, quality, and ethnic diversity of the cuisines in town,” said Rebecca Hersh, executive director of Main Street Highland Park, the borough’s nonprofit downtown economic development organization. “From Peruvian to Japanese to Mexican to Italian to Middle Eastern to Pakistani, Highland Park truly has it all – and all within walking distance!”
