Top Cities for Dining in New Jersey
- Northern New Jersey — North Jersey has one of America's most underrated food scenes - the Korean food corridor in Fort Lee and Palisades Park, Portuguese and Brazilian in Newark's Ironbound, Indian on Edison's Oak Tree Road, Italian everywhere, and Palestinian/Syrian food in Paterson. The suburban-town structure means each place has its own culinary identity. Prices are moderate, significantly cheaper than Manhattan across the river.
