3. Every New Jersey city

When you and your family are thinking of taking a vacation to the East Coast, you’re probably dreaming of New York, Boston, Philadelphia … hell, the Baltimore Harbor. You know what you aren’t thinking about?

Paterson. Newark. Jersey City. Trenton. Camden. Atlantic City.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of driving through one of those bustling metropolises, you understand why. Nothing says a beautiful vacation like New Jersey. Let’s be honest, the only way you end up in Jersey on vacation is if you got woefully lost trying to get to the Big Apple.

There are certainly some great places within the borders of New York’s little brother. The Pine Barrens are fantastic (and also one of the great Soprano’s episodes) if you’re into nature, and Cape May is one of the more scenic areas on the coast. If you want a place that’s solid and near another city, Hoboken is a classy suburb with a good nightlife when COVID isn’t resining everything.

Still, no state with a significant population has a worse selection of cities than New Jersey. It’s a complete embarrassment.
