Things to Do  

big old houses

big old houses, Summit

 MandaJ320 Says:  Summit is full of big, old houses. It's nice to see the architecture on some of them is very detailed. Big colums, detailed trim, gables, and all other sorts of features adorn these beauties. I'd hate to think how much they cost!!! :-) 

Summit Cheese Shop

Summit Cheese Shop, Summit

 tombsp Says:  Not exactly a "Must See Activity" but I thought it was worth inclusion because before I saw this place I thought America only had two types of cheese, Cheddar and Monterey.

Monster Sushi: Sushi super-sized

Monster Sushi: Sushi super-sized, Summit

 twood1 Says:  This sushi house is a chain that I know also has has restaurants in New York City. It's decent sushi, but the bites are a little too big for my tastes. Sashimi is not the way to go, the pieces are too big and you really don't get to taste and feel the texture of the fish... 

La Pastaria: Simple, to the point pasta.

La Pastaria: Simple, to the point pasta., Summit

 twood1 Says:  Nothing too fancy at this local pasta joint. It's got a simple trattoria feel with plates to match the atmosphere. Portions are huge, so get ready to take home a doggy bag. The hostess is great, get her talking and you can hear her complaints for the night. Don't forget it's...

La Pastaria and Fiorino: Pasta that is truly mouth-watering., Summit

 pattyandkent Says:  Each of these eateries in downtown Summit offers a tremendous variety of Italian specialties, but among the best are the homemade pastas. At La Pastaria on Springfield Avenue, try anything with seafood or the mushroom ravioli. The restaurant is loud and the service can be a...

The Summit Historical Society has a small museum and its archives in the Carter House at 90 Butler Parkway, which was built in the 1740s and is the oldest known building in town. The volunteers are at the house on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday afternoons for informal tours and to help visitors use the extensive archives that have been collected. Other times may be arranged by appointment.
