Fanwood is one of those small, tidy New Jersey boroughs built around a railway station, with a compact centre, tree-lined streets and commuters heading for Manhattan each morning. On its own it offers little for a rider beyond a quiet road and a coffee, but its position at the foot of the Watchung Mountains makes it a useful starting point.
