items I was born and raised in Bergen county, NJ. At 18, I moved to Central Jersey near Princeton and lived there for 10 years. I just recently moved to South Jersey about a year and a half ago. During my time up and down the state, I have gone to many dif...

A small restaurant with fresh fish for reasonable prices. Their sushi is some of the best in the area. Ramen broth is seasoned amazingly with deep complex flavors. Their cheese pockets (similar to crab Rangoon) are crispy and always served hot. You c...
Soya Ramen & Sushi Burrito
A North Jersey chain known for their empanadas, pink sauce, and smoothies. My go to order here was 2 chicken empanadas and a strawberry banana smoothie, and I’d be sure to get an absurd amount of pink sauce from the sauce pumps. The inside of the res...
Banana King
These are the best bagels, hands down. North Jersey has some tough competition since you can find bagel spots everywhere you turn, but Bagel Supreme is number 1. This is a small family owned business that prides itself on quality. Their bagels are ma...
Bagel Supreme | Rutherford
Jim Dandy’s is a casual rib and wing restaurant with delicious fried foods. My favorite items on the menu are their pirogies, chicken fingers, and onion rings. They have really generous portions for the prices!

Italian Touch has some of the best pizza around. Pizza in New Jersey is almost impossible to rank definitively as “the best” just because there are so many places and different types of pizza, but this place is up there. It’s run by a dad and his two...

Located in Hamilton Township right off of 295, this is one of the coolest, most unique places I’ve ever been to! It is located on 42 acres. Although I went for a full day, I still missed a large portion of the grounds because of its sheer size, and I...
Grounds For Sculpture
I am a sucker for an escape room and this is one of the best I’ve ever been to! It’s super unique and I had so much fun here.
Escape Room Mystery
I love animals so this was one of my favorite outings! I loved interacting with the alpacas and the rabbits, which isn’t something you can do at a typical petting zoo. Tickets were $15 and I recommend you reserve in advance. You also get a tour of th...
Out of Sight Alpacas
My dog Penny (featured in the first picture!!) loves to go for hikes here. It’s relatively quiet and secluded. Even when we go on the weekends, we only see a few people during our walks. The greenery is really nice, and the trail is well maintained. ...
Black Run Preserve
Rainy day? Shop the thrift! I highly recommend 2nd Ave. They have a bunch of locations, and I of course haven’t been to all of them, but I specifically recommend the Hamilton NJ location. They have single handedly stocked my entire closet. The prices...
2nd Ave Thrift Store - Hamilton Township, NJ
Ok, this one is very tourist-y. But it’s really fun with a group of friends. If you stay at the Tropicana you can start your time in the hotel which is actually pretty cool and has a casino and some restaurants and a tasty gelato place. Then when you...
