Editing Iselin, New Jersey (section)

=== Downtown area ===
Iselin's downtown is centered on [[Little India, Edison/Iselin|Little India]] (also known as "Oak Tree Road"), bound by the [[Garden State Parkway]] to the west and [[New Jersey Route 27|Route 27]] ([[Lincoln Highway]]) to the southeast. Once home to a wide array of shops, eateries, services, and complemented by a single-screen 1920s movie palace, the area was in obvious decline in the 1980s. An influx of Asian Indian immigration beginning in the early 1990s led to the area's revitalization. Formerly vacant stores were tenanted, and additional retail spaces built as the area became known for its high quality Indian food, sweets, clothing (particularly [[sari]]s), jewelry, music, and other goods.
