Small Book Stores Still Exist in Bergen County & Tenafly Has One of the Best
One of the truly great aspects of buying a Tenafly home is the wonderful shopping district Tenafly residents enjoy. Although Bergen County is well known for the major shopping malls that line Route 4 and Route 17 in Hackensack and Paramus, the value of a local downtown where merchants and shopkeepers know you by first name is cherished here.
I remember how my mother took all of us children to a very special book store in Hackensack. Womrath’s was the place where you could browse for hours until you found the perfect book. If you needed help, Mr. Kutik and his staff would always find what you needed. My mother would reward us with a trip to Womrath’s. Today Mr. Kutik’s son Bob has maintained that tradition.
Bob Kutik owns and operates Womrath’s in Tenafly with that same wonderful customer service but he’s also moved into the 21st century – Womrath’s has a website, email newsletter and a page on Facebook. It remains a treasure for Bergen County book lovers and is another reason why buying a Tenafly home brings you more than living space – it also brings you a great suburban lifestyle.
Small bookstores are rare these days but Tenafly has one of the very best in Womrath\’s.

Tenafly is still a great town and is consistently one of the most in demand locations in Bergen County. I lived there for 25 years and am now nearby in Englewood as I only need an apartment these days; my son is an adult now and I’m by myself. What’s really neat is that Tenafly people always seem to stay in touch. I can’t remember where but many years ago a bunch of retired folks from town ended up in the same general area of North Carolina and they actually had their own monthly newsletter that share, of course, news they each got from relatives and friends still in Tenafly. They called it Tenafly South.
