Travel Tip: If you plan on driving, while staying in Bloomfield, to get around, you should consider grabbing a local map first, especially if you're a 1st time visitor in the city and particularly if you wish to explore the city's surroundings by yourself, because you might end up someplace else than your desired destination. Be sure not to use the cell phone, while you're behind the wheel, because, like in many other US cities, it is illegal, and you will be fined for doing so. Purchase a hands-free, first, or better yet, pull over.
