u have the shore, the country, the city, everything is at ur fingertips. I live 10 miles from NYC, 45 minutes from the shore, if i drive 25 minutes north or south i can enjoy the nature. You wont find any place with better food, especially italian food. You guys can enjoy your dominos and spaghetti with meatballs. Port elizabeth/newark is the largest port on the east coast so all ur goods that you east coasters enjoy u can thank NJ.
there is no other place ide rather be than north jersey except maybe NYC
