There's no need to be modest, we all know New Jersey is the best. We've got geographical diversity, a plethora of arts and entertainment opportunities, four beautiful seasons, and so much more! If you love living in New Jersey, you'll want to brag about some of our best features.
1. We've got great food available 24/7!
We've got diners serving up delicious dishes at all hours of the night! Few other places offer 2 a.m. fries with gravy. Beyond the diners, though, it's indisputable that the best bagels, hoagies (or subs), and pizza can be found right here in the Garden State.
2. Not only do we have the BEST pizza, we have the BIGGEST pizza!
Check out this 14" slice from Benny Tudino's in Hoboken! Just one is enough to fill most.
3. We have some of the best schools in the nation!
And the #1 highest high school graduation rate, according to the National Board and Educational Testing Policy. New Jersey's towns are continually ranked among the best in the country when it comes to quality of education.
4. We have some incredible beaches!
Locals know, but outsiders are surprised to learn that we have some of the cleanest beaches in the country. Cape May county beaches in particular rank high in that regard.
5. We're home to a world renown travel destination.
We may take our proximity to nightlife mecca, Atlantic City, for granted, but people travel for miles to visit this one-of-a-kind town. Come to AC to visit a casino, dine in an upscale restaurant, sip a cocktail at a beach bar, or attend a concert or comedy gig.
6. We have endless entertainment options!
Outside of Atlatnic City, we've got a lot to offer! We have countless theaters, performance venues, sporting events and outdoor activities for residents to enjoy. Asbury Park is one of the best cities for live music in the entire world.
7. We're chock full of natural beauty!
This stunning shot was captured at Wharton State Forest. Between the Pinelands and the Skylands, there's a hiking trail for everyone to enjoy.
8. And we have beautiful cities!
Hip and happening centers of industry, you'll find lots to do in our biggest cities.
9. Have you seen the stunning fall foliage views our state offers?
Enjoy the vivid colors everywhere you look! Head up to the Water Gap, paddle out among the foliage in Round Valley, or just take a quiet country drive through Burlignton County to see it.
10. OUR sports teams are top notch.
Let's not forget that the Giants and Jets are New Jersey teams.
11. We never need to pump our own gas.
AND we have some of the lowest gas prices in the country.
12. We're wealthy and safe, overall.
Sure, not every city is perfect, but we have 3 of the wealthiest counties in the US, according to Forbes, (Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris) and we have low property and violent crime rates.
