I feel like I drive through the garden state too often without stopping to enjoy myself. I was born there and grew up there but I never really spend much time there anymore...

Where should I treat myself to a nice meal next time I am making laps around the gsp, nj turnpike & AC expressway?

Bazzarelli ,117 Moonachie Rd ,Moonachie NJ. Excellent italian food near the Teterboro airport. The spanish place next door is also good, I think the name of that is Segovia.

That's my old neighborhood... I grew up closer to exit 30 on the parkway and have plenty of family still in the area...

I'm open to anything and will definitely get in touch next time I am down that way (maybe even this wednesday?) so we can commiserate about Swedish nightmares...

White House Subs.

When you enter AC from the Expressway, it's in the neighborhood to the right.

Excellent suggestion, but my brother's restaurant is in AC so I kinda have to go there when in town. Although since you are already in OC I do really love voltaco's...

never cared for Whitehouse... too much hype

How about Yesterdays on Rooselvelt Boulivard between marmora and Ocean City?

Jersey isn't that big, keep driving until you hit New Castle and stop at the Dog House.

A couple kids from college used to get really high and drive the 8-hour round trip just to get White Castle.

They were the smarts!

For some reason, this thread reminds me of a joke I heard a long time ago.

Guy's on a date with this hot chick and they finished dinner and he's like "So, what do you wanna do next?" She leans over and whispers in his ear, "I want you to kiss me where it smells."

So he drove her to New Jersey.

But yeah, I'm actually from Jersey, just been awhile since I lived there. How about The Spinning Wheel Diner on 22 in Lebanon, NJ? Had a pretty good meal there once, and the parking lot was full of classic cars!
