going to New Jersey...what to do?

sairose · #1 02-19-2005, 06:57 PM

A good friend of mine goes to The College of New Jersey in Ewing, and I'm going to see him on spring break. I'm also going to a few other places but I'll be in NJ March 13, 14th, and 15th.

I'm going to hang around in NJ all day on the 15th until he gets out of classes at night. Is there anything cool to see or do?

I know there's several of you from NJ on here, so hopefully y'all can help me out.

Go to New York or Philadelphia.

Could this be done on a day trip? This is a stupid question, but I went to NY last year and loved it and wouldn't mind returning, but...I'm driving up there...is there anywhere to park in NYC? I didn't notice anywhere when I was there but then again I'm not from there. If not, if I was to go there, what would I do? Like I said, sounds really stupid, but you're from there so maybe you could give some insight.

Philadelphia is a good idea. I might consider that as well.

There are many parking garages in NYC if you don't mind paying at least $50 for the day. Mass transit from Hoboken (or another place in NJ) would be your best option in my opinion.

I think in outlying xities you can cath the metro into NYC. Look into that...That may bebetter than tryiing to find parking in NYC. I WOULD LOVE to go to NYC,,,My boyfriend and I talk about it all the time....I thin kit would be experience I would never forget.

There's the Jersey Gardens outlet mall in Elizabeth, if you want to shop.

You mean, there's stuff in Jersey other than Princeton, IKEA, and the Newark Airport?

But it might be the one Harold and Kumar went to!

Of course there is.

New Jersey has more bowling alleys and diners, per capita, than any other state.
