Reply to weather in NJ by xrt679

I love the warmer weather because I don’t care for super cold winters but we are definitely missing the OT my husband gets when it snows.

Plenty of people in NJ live on significantly less. Its not necessarily easy, but it can be done. Depends how good you are at being frugal.

Old bridge has a lot of good italian food. Perth amboy for latin food, good indian food in parlin(thou not as good as edison), good Portuguese in south river, good Japanese in Aberdeen. I work like 3 miles from North end of old bridge so i eat out a lot in that area. Old bridge is big.

I think the issue is the weather right now and we just recently moved. We love the beaches so we’ll be there often when the weather permits.

I didn’t know Aberdeen and Matawan have a train station but good to know! I can’t seem to find GREAT food in Old Bridge, maybe I should make a recommendations post and try and get some recommendations.

Old bridge/Parlin have a lot of good food. The night life blows and you need to drive everywhere. NYC and philly are both close though and Aberdeen/Matawan have a train station. It’s also close to the beach during summer and has a lot of places to hike. Boring is subjective but there is a lot to do in the area when the weather is nice.

Shameless plug that my wife and I visited all 80 spots in the lyrics of this song and made a travelogue music video of the adventure— I am obviously way biased, but our video offers agreat way of seeing the varied landscape of some really oddball places in New Jersey.

On an aside, it was also probably the best thing I’ve done in the last decade-plus— the amount I learned about our state, the history, the nature, the food, the curiosities, the food (did I mention that) were priceless. I feel like I am so much better connected with our state, and there are a bunch of far-flung places that we now visit on the regular (deep Pinelands, Delaware Bayshore, all the classic lowbrow eats in the northeast) thanks to this song!
