Very Steep Road
I'm local to Tenafly, NJ zip 07670 and I found what I consider the steepest hill in my area.
It is on Elm Ave zip code 07657 (corner of Bergen Blvd and Elm Ave).
Unfortunately, this is a regular street so you do have to be careful and not that long, but it feels extremely steep. (Wasn't even sure if car was going to struggle!)
Looking for more hills please!

A lot of these list elevations:
Tenafly Bike Trails - Maps of Bike Routes in Tenafly, NJ
Here is a tutorial from CNET to use google maps to map a route, and calculate the elevation changes. Percentage of slope would be some factor of x*(rise/run) where x depends on your desired output (grade, per-mile, etc).
Get elevation info for bike routes in Google Maps - CNET
That should get you where you need to be.

Tenafly was part of my old cycling grounds. If memory serves me correctly, some pretty STEEP shorties in Paramus leading up to Farview Ave. Have you biked any of those?
