Depart in the morning from a central meeting point in Manhattan, journey to the other side of the Hudson River to explore the many unexpected delights of the Garden State.
Perhaps the best way to start a visit to New Jersey is by enjoying the view, as you take in the amazing view of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty visible from the opposite side of the Hudson. Continue by exploring the city of Hoboken, where you’ll view the city’s wall paintings and pay homage to the state’s fallen heroes at the War Memorial. You’ll also get a glimpse of the early days of Frank Sinatra during a stop at his childhood Jersey home.
If you like desserts, you’re in for a treat thanks to your next stop at the bakery of ‘Cake Boss’ star Buddy on Washington Street. Finish off the day by visiting the sober memorial created in tribute to the victims of the September 11th attacks. You’ll return back to your original departure point at the end of the excursion.
