Events that bring Glendale neighbors together
The Glendale Civic Association organizes many community-wide events. “One month we’ll have a backyard movie night. Another month, we might go to Asbury Park and play the pinball machines,” Anastasio says, referring to Asbury Park’s Silverball Retro Arcade. “There’s always something that involves getting the neighbors together to meet each other.”
“Well-served” by New Jersey Transit
New Jersey Transit bus routes 607 and 624 cut through and alongside Glendale, connecting the neighborhood to downtown Trenton and other communities. “Because Glendale is a relatively small community, it is well served by New Jersey Transit,” Anastasio says. “There are buses that go out to the college area and buses that go out near the airport to the shopping areas.” US Route 1 is two miles away, and Interstate is 295 is about three miles away. Residents need only drive ten minutes, or about three miles, to reach the Trenton-Mercer Airport.Dining in Glendale and Ewing Township
On North Olden Avenue, which rolls across the northern edge of the neighborhood, there’s a ShopRite for groceries and various fast-food joints and restaurants including Crab Du Jour, a casual spot with karaoke and a live DJ on Friday evenings. More dining options can be found nearby: “A lot of the restaurants that used to be in downtown Trenton are now in Ewing Township,” Anastasio says. “There’s a whole bunch up by the College of New Jersey.”
