What a strange idea - choosing a city because it's trendy.

No, but they are as close as you can get to trendy where you can have a lawn and a garage. You can include Middle Village and Maspeth as well. They have detached single family homes, where on weekends you can easily drive to Williamsburg or the Lower East Side.

We don't have kids yet but will be very soon. We are a professional couple in our mid 30's. We like great restaurants, great shopping and easy access to movie theaters. We have been looking around and have found a couple places we thought were nice. One was Montclair, NJ and the other was Greenwich, CT. We were hoping to get some advice from you guys on some other places we might look. Places that have similar things to offer and similar feels as these two. We have done some google searches and read forums before, we looked at Rye, Mamaroneck, Larchmont and a few other places in the Westchester area. The forums we read said that these were great towns and I'm sure they are but they were a little small and sleepy for us. We both work in the city during the week so when the weekend comes around we would like to live in a place where there is a lot to do without having to leave our town. We are open to suggestions that are within an hour commute of the city. Thanks in advance for your help.
Are you looking for a cool/trendy neighborhood in NYC or a cool/trendy city in NY State? If you are looking outside the city (but nearby), I suggest posting your query on the Westchester County & Long Island forums.

We are in a similar (not exactly the same) boat and we are looking at Ridgewood, Montclair, Summit and Englewood.

This article, Escape from Brooklyn, was in the New York Times yesterday. The family moved to Hastings-on-Hudson.
