New Jersey Ultimate Travel Guide
Maybe I am biased at a “New Jerseyian”, but people wrongfully drag on New Jersey as it is a wonderful place to live and visit. As the United States’ most densely populated state, the garden state is a place of magic with its diverse culture and cuisines. With access to New York City in north and Philedelphia in the south, you will be close to some of the country’s coolest cities. No need to leave New Jersey though, as there are plenty of beautiful beaches, epic mountains, and America’s best shopping (there’s a reason the mall parking lots are full of “out of staters”. Don’t hate on Jersey till you visit her and make sure to try a bagel with taylor ham, egg, and cheese on it.

Eat a Taylor Ham (not Pork Roll), Egg, and Cheese sandwich
It’s a weird New Jersey thing—just do it. It also is a debate among New Jerseyians on what it is called. Northern New Jerseyians will say “Taylor Ham” and Southern New Jerseyians will say “Pork Roll”. There is also no Central New Jersey (that is another NJ debate).

Go Shopping!
New Jersey is a real shopper’s paradise. There is a reason the shopping malls are full of out-of-staters in the parking lot. Some of the best malls are Short Hills Mall, Paramus Park, Garden State Plaza, and Willowbrook Mall. Oh, and did I mention there is no tax on clothes?
