If Paramus had a personality, it’d be the chill friend who somehow knows all the best spots, from quiet hideaways to shopping marathons that somehow count as cardio. Whether you’re passing through or calling it home, there’s more to this Jersey suburb than malls and highways. Think indulgent wellness, bites worth the calories, and pockets of calm tucked right where you least expect them. 

Here are 5 things you must totally do when you visit Paramus, New Jersey.

1. Reset Your Body (and Mind) at Aescape

This isn’t your typical massage experience, it’s self-guided, powered by robotics, and built around you. You pick your session, decide what areas need attention, and the system adapts to your body in real time.

No small talk, no awkward moments, no waiting around. Just you, your body, and a beautifully designed space that lets you reset; fully and privately. It’s perfect if you crave relaxation but don’t want the social layer of a traditional spa visit. Aescape feels like the future of wellness quietly happening in Paramus right now.

2. Grab a Bite at Biagio’s

Every town has that one restaurant where the vibe is just right, and for Paramus, it’s Biagio’s. Cozy, familiar, and serving up Italian food that somehow makes you feel like family (even if you just met the waiter five minutes ago). 

Whether you go for a wood-fired pizza or something heavier like the osso buco, it’s one of those spots where calories don’t count because your soul needed it.

3. Wander Through Van Saun County Park

You might think Paramus is all retail and traffic lights, but Van Saun County Park flips that script. It’s sprawling, green, and has that magic mix of “I can finally breathe” energy. 

You can walk, picnic, hop on the train ride, or visit the Bergen County Zoo tucked inside. It’s ideal for those soft days when you just want to slow down and let time blur a little.

4. Go on a (Controlled) Shopping Spree

Yes, Paramus is basically the unofficial capital of malls. Between Garden State Plaza, Paramus Park, and The Outlets at Bergen Town Center, you can lose hours without realizing it. The best part is that there’s no sales tax on clothing. So technically, you’re saving money… right?

5. Catch a Sunset Coffee at Nocturnal Roasters

This one’s for the caffeine romantics. Nocturnal Roasters feels like it was built for golden hour; dim lights, minimalist interiors, and espresso that tastes like it has a story.
Order a cortado, sink into a corner, and watch Paramus slow down around you. It’s the perfect last stop after a day that’s done just enough.
