Cape May
If the pedestrian holds some kitsch appeal to you or if you're up for nostalgia by way of Americana, head to Cape May. Where there were once very few options for fine dining, Cape May is now fluent in farm to table and açai bowls. Pick and choose which elements of a typical Jersey beach town you want to engage with, but admit boardwalk fries, games, and quaint/creepy Victorian inns have an everlasting charm. Don't forget to buy salt water taffy as a souvenir for all your friends who refuse to leave the East End.
