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!
