Happiness Living in the Garden State 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I moved to New Jersey a few years back, and I was shocked how the state is actually more beautiful than it gets credit for.

The best areas in Woodbridge are the smaller restaurants. if you know where to look, there are little dining establishments hidden all over the city, offering the best meals from a variety of cultures. Shopping is amazing, you can ride into Manhattan if you want to spoil yourself, or hit the Garden State Parkway and stop at a number of premium outlet malls.
