FOOD & BEVERAGE

New Jersey’s culinary landscape is a delightful fusion of tradition and innovation, offering a feast for every palate! From the bustling boardwalks serving up iconic saltwater taffy and classic boardwalk fries, to the charming diners dishing out legendary pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwiches (or is it Taylor Ham?), the Garden State boasts a unique flavor profile.

Beyond these beloved staples, you’ll discover a vibrant farm-to-table movement, thanks to our abundant local produce like sweet Jersey corn, juicy tomatoes, and plump blueberries. Explore a diverse array of international cuisines, from authentic Italian eateries and Portuguese flavors to a thriving Asian food scene, particularly in areas like Edison and Jersey City.

Whether you’re craving a gourmet dining experience at a high-end restaurant, a casual bite at one of our countless diners (we’re the “Diner Capital of the World”!), or an adventurous food truck festival, New Jersey’s food and beverage scene promises a delicious journey for every taste bud. And don’t forget to pair your meal with a local craft beer or a sip of Laird’s Applejack, the oldest distillery spirit in the US, born right here in NJ!
