Must See (and experience) in New Jersey

Must See (and experience) in New Jersey -- My contribution...

Take a ride on Route 22 westbound from Newark to Philipsburgh. What other state has such diversity on one short road?

The Ocean City boardwalk. No bars. No wheels (except when they have the hot rod or Corvette gatherings). No loud music. Just a great comfortable walk, good food, and family fun. Grab a seat at the end of the music pier with a good book like my wife or an iPod like me, and enjoy killing a few hours over the water.

And by the way, the best bagels I've ever had -- dense and chewy schmeared with a super spinach/garlic or bacon horseradish cream cheese -- are also in OC -- Bagels by the Beach on Asbury Ave. Oh yeah; I've still got the weeks of August 28 available on my OC rental condo. ;-)

Woodbridge. The confluence of the major rivers of vitality of NJ...Route 1, Route 9, the Turnpike, the Parkway, and 287. Get lost in the interchanges.

The blueberry farms in Hammonton. There's a great road by them between 30 and 422 that is perfect for opening up the throttle on my 'vette.

Rutt's Hut and Ryland Inn for the best of both ends of the culinary scale. (Adding a third R, Rita's Water Ice -- half cherry/half citrus for me.)

The Princeton campus and art museum. (And Conte's Pizza while you're in the neighborhood.)

The Cape May-Lewes Ferry.

The Delaware Water Gap.

Oh, and Shep's New Jersey of my youth.
