Dave van Ronk had a song to help you (or maybe confuse you): Garden State Stomp

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!
