New Jersey Day Trip Itinerary ✨

New Jersey has some amazing places to visit, even if you only had a day. A lot of people skip it because they happen to only have time to explore nyc but if you can spare a day, here's what I'd recommend doing as a jersey local:

- kubo coffee: this filipino owned restaurant has some of the best ube desserts and drinks. they are popularly known for their cracking ube drink - a mustttt if you're an ube fan like me.

- antioch: hands down the best middle eastern food in all of jersey. it's located in the heart of englewood with great platters to share for a party of 2.

- baps shri swaminarayan: located an hour away from nyc is the second largest hindu temple in the WHOLE entire world. entrance is free so spend an hour or two exploring the temple, and admire it's beauty.

- pastaRAMEN: japanese + italian infused restaurant with the best mochi pasta. make reservations in advance, swing by for dinner, and don't forget to byob.

- hoboken pier: literally the best place to end off the day. sunset in the summer is the best time to visit as there is a long walkway overlooking the manhattan skyline, with a handful of restaurants and bars along the river.

Please save this post if you're ever planning on visiting new jersey, you'll have a blast 💗

I'm a certified and self-proclaimed Jersey Girl, and all of these places look amazing. I've been to BAPS 2x, hoboken, not Kubo or the restaurants. These suggestions will be on my 2025 bucket list, for sure. Thanks for sharing.
