In addition to all the amazing things to see and do, New Jersey is home some of America's most unique and acclaimed restaurants, snagging many top chefs from New York City to open outposts and new concepts along its beautiful shoreline stretches. Celebrity chefs and James Beard Award honorees offer concept restaurants, while farm-to-table dining takes center stage at other destinations, including day trip favorites like Juniper Hill, known for its excellent children's menus. Global fusion fare also takes its cues from the East Coast's diverse populations, ranging from Ital-style Jamaican cuisine at Montclair spot Vital to Korean fusion barbecue at popular counter service eatery Kimchi Smoke.
