What I love about NJ, everything is close to each other in terms of convenience without the congestion of NY.
Definitely cleaner than most parts of NY.
Newark, Irvington, & Camden is gullier than any place in NYC for sure. and I got love for NY, mad family from Red Fern Far Rock in Queens.
I literally can get to Manhattan quicker from where I live in NJ than many people can from Brooklyn and Especially Queens or Long Island.
We are the richest state at the same time and some of the best schools in the Nation.
Very diverse and multicultural population, a higher level of intellectual sophistication than 95% of the nation.
Although its no Vegas, AC is always fun to go to.
It's just you have to be from around here to really understand it.
New Yorkers grew up around all the tall buildings and formed some type of Superiority complex, but they never leave the state.

It would go in terms of enjoyment
It's not NY, Miami or Vegas, but you can do a lot out here.
Live in NJ, sleep well, and party in NY.
