Being native to New Jersey, Janet and I refer to the State as just Jersey. A State with much diversity, including productive farms, forests, mountains, lush countryside, an industrial eastern corridor with transportation, shipping, refineries, tourism and corporate bases. Not to forget, some of the finest ocean shoreline in the world.
Our visit through the State started on the southern tip, Cape May, as we entered via ferry from Delaware. Jersey is divided into two major areas, North Jersey which is metro NYC and South Jersey being metro Philadelphia. Having grown up in the northeastern part of the State, South Jersey had a foreign flair to it. We did not travel there often. Cape May area was, for the most part, a first for us. Verdict is we found it to be a beautiful area replete with everything and more you would expect from the Garden State. Ok, short of sounding like a travel PSA for Jersey we had fun exploring, relaxing, meeting up with good friends, eating great Jersey food and enjoying our explorations. We will not forget fresh seafood and the best pizza to be found anywhere. We have eaten pizza everywhere we have travelled and lived in the US and Europe. Hands down, the best of the best for us is in Jersey and NYC. Yeah, we know there is a lot of debate but all we have to say is "fuhgeddaboudit". What visit to South Jersey would be complete without a stop in Philly? We had the opportunity to trek into Queen Village. As the oldest settled area of Philadelphia, Queen Village contains many of the city's oldest houses with most of them a part of the National historic registry. The neighborhood was incorporated in 1762 by English settlers and has an eclectic ethnic flair. On recommendation from our cousins, we ate lunch in the iconic Famous 4th St Deli. This Jewish eatery was established in 1923 and has a menu that rivals imagination. We shared a gigantic tuna fish sandwich and a potato knish. Holyyyyyyy...smokes, was all we could manage to say. The food was just short of orgasmic. Stay tuned as we move further north in the State. Looking forward to seeing family and friends, exploring familiar ground, reinforcing old memories, eating some fresh bagels and of course, pizza.
