The Riverside Inn – Cranford, New Jersey’s Community Online Photo Album

Our history of the Riverside Inn has really come a long way. There seems to be such love for Cranford, New Jersey’s Riverside Inn, aka “The Dive,” that we had to create a dedicated page separate from the history of the Riverside just to show your submitted photos. Keep ’em coming.


Our journey with the Riverside is a long one. This writer’s been a big fan of The Riverside Inn for decades, going back as far as 1979, so what better way to share the history than with photos? Feel free to send in yours for consideration (see below). Just click any image to start the sideshow. Bonus points for anyone who submits a photo when actor Kiefer Sutherland, known for his role in the television series “24,” came into the Riverside. If someone has one, we’ll even accept a photo from Frankie Ryan (Class of 83).


Start the automatic slide show by clicking on any image.
If you want to hold the show, click the “Pause Icon” at the top right of the photo.
