Road Trip | New Jersey 

New Jersey is more than just the Jersey Shore. With culinary delights that span the ‘largest slice’ of pizza to the fat sandwich to rum flights, indulge your taste buds and sense of adventure on a road trip of New Jersey.

North Jersey

Start your road trip of New Jersey in Bergen County, New Jersey. Make a visit to Mitsuwa Marketplace, the largest Japanese supermarket in the US, where you can pick up favorite snacks like Calpico and Pocky and grab piping hot ramen in the food court. Then, later that day, make your way to Hoboken, New Jersey where you can grab Benny’s infamous ‘largest slice’ of pizza. They’ve been slaying pizza slices for over 50 years that are nearly a foot long. Nearby is the “Cake Boss” – Carlo’s Bakery, where you can pick up cupcakes and other baked goods to nosh on. Walk it all off by taking a stroll next to the Hudson River and relaxing at the Newport Sand Beach. Enjoy views of the NYC skyline during sunset.

Central Jersey  

Next stop on your road trip of New Jersey is Rutgers University, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. While the Grease Trucks disappeared years ago, Fat Sandwiches live on at RU Hungry? Fat Sandwiches are essentially sandwiches stuffed to the brim with any and every greasy item you can think of. The “Fat Darrell” which contains chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and French fries, was ranked the #1 sandwich in the country by Maxim Magazine. Another Rutgers food creation is Potachos at Stuff Yer Face. Instead of using nachos, they use potato chips and load it with cheese, sour cream, bacon, tomato, onions and ketchup. Afterwards, grab a pint of handcrafted beer at Harvest Moon Brewery & Café.

South Jersey

Finally, head to south Jersey towards the Jersey Shore for a day trip to iconic Asbury Park to finish your road trip of New Jersey . Catch a show at the Stone Pony, a fun music venue right next to the water that have been hosting big name bands like Bruce Springsteen since 1974. Check out Silverball Retro Arcade, which hosts a collection of more than 6000 pinball machines. Located on the  boardwalk, after checking out Silverball Retro Arcade, just enjoy a leisurely walk exploring the shops and eateries on the boardwalk. In the evening, go to The Bonney Read and grab a custom Rum Flight with more than 80 artisanal rums to chose from, (their oysters are delicious, too).
