Basking Ridge, NJ

Basking Ridge is a picturesque New Jersey town located within Bernards Township in the Somerset Hills region of Somerset County. Bernards Township includes the neighborhoods of Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons and West Millington. 

We adore Basking Ridge for its small-town character. Nearly all the stores, restaurants and offices that line the three-block downtown on South Finley Avenue are converted 19th-century homes. Amongst our favorites is Brush's Deli. "We know how just about everybody in town takes his coffee," said Barbara Brush, co-owner of Brush's Deli & Catering which has been in her family since 1940.
