New Jersey. Think of the state and you
think of
all sorts of things. The beautiful mountains of the skylands.
The
long sandy stretches of the Jersey Shore. The urban cityscapes
of
Newark, New Brunswick, and Trenton. The infamous Exit jokes.
(Yeah,
we're bored of those.) Marshes and forests that pockmark our
state
from end to end.
And diners.
We're the diner capital of America. We take a wonderfully
American
concept and make it New Jersey's very own. Our state thrives
on
coffee in big ceramic cups, giant buttery pancakes, and eggs
made
any style. And since January, the New Jersey geo-community has
been
touring the state, one county at a time, in a quest for the
ultimate Jersey diner experience. From Salem to Ocean, Middlesex
to
Warren, we've gathered to enjoy a good meal together before a
day
of caching. Now it's time to explore urban New Jersey, to Hudson
County, for a
mid-July breakfast before hitting the streets of the greater New
York City metro area.
