What are your favorite NJ diners? In any other state, this would be a two-second conversation. Not here.
As one Facebook commenter put it: “Growing up in Jersey I thought diners were everywhere. When I moved around I discovered other states did not have diners! What a shock that those states were missing out!”
In New Jersey this is serious business. Garden Staters know a thing or two about diners. After all, there are more than 600 diners in New Jersey – we’re the diner capital of the world.
