Excellent walking trails on the waterfront. Great views of NYC and the backside of the Statue of Liberty. The diverse crowd at the park highlights one of the many great aspects of city living.
A quaint little park with a fountain, chess tables, playgrounds, and a dog run. Farmers market every Saturday from 8:30a-3p mid-April through December. Outdoor films select Wednesdays in the summer.
The views, especially on a clear night, are untouchable. Great for a jog along the river. Great for a romantic stroll. The best.

The best cider donuts in New Jersey - and they hit a home run with cider dogs, cooked in cider and topped with an apple sauerkraut. All other farms pale in comparison.

Home of a revitalized boardwalk, classic rock at the Stone Pony, a growing foodie scene, and the brand-new Asbury Hotel with its very buzzy rooftop bar (locals love it). Read more.

The atmosphere is second to none in Warwick. A perfect fall Sunday is spent at their outdoor bar with a glass of home-brewed cider & a plate of melt-in-your-mouth BBQ.
The epitome of a true ‘farm to table’ experience. The grounds are as exquisite as the food. Get there early and walk around before your meal. Be sure to leave with some treats from their shop.
Well, it's not a Disney park, but it's about as good as you're going to get in NJ. Great rides and so much fun. Use the Six Flags app. once you get into the park to help gauge wait times
Beautiful & well-kept soft-sanded beach. Comfort stations scattered along Beach Ave, with rinse-off areas. Refreshing swim.
Weekends are too crowded & busy. Go during the week and in the morning say 10 or 11 am. Get the breakfast or BLT and don’t forget apple cider donuts, homemade jams & cider. No rush no lines.
It's got a great playground and plenty of space to walk around without any distractions. Beautiful scenery.
Expensive but lots of activities. Go early on season before they are over-picked.

Absolutely gorgeous and good to travel in with family. Great starter for people who don’t hike often
Brilliant range of stores with so many bargains! Also set within pretty mountain scenery. A pleasant change from the skyscrapers of manhattan
Great place for apple picking with so many varieties. They do not have a pumpkin patch, but do sell pumpkins. Lines were much better than other places we've been in NJ.
Hidden in the middle of Jersey. Filled with your local and unique finds, make sure you have room in your trunk. Also, no no matter the season, be sure to stock up on those apple cider donuts!
