Although I had been to The Clinton Diner many times, I had never explored the surrounding area until this last weekend. It turns out that Clinton, NJ has the cutest downtown and river-front area to explore. With it's close proximity to the Lehigh Valley and with so many things to do, this little town makes the perfect destination for a one day road trip!
