From Beaches to mountains and everything in between. If you want to go skiing, go to North Jersey's Mountain Creek. If you want to go to the shore, you have numerous beaches to choose from. You name it - we have it.

Only the greatest breakfast/lunch sandwich to ever been born. Rarely can you find it in Pennsylvania. But along the coastline of New Jersey you will not find a better sandwich.

We have more diners in a square mile than you can count on your hands AND toes. Why is this awesome? The answer is choice. Don't feel like going to Queen Diner tonight? Go to Princess Maria's. And no matter what they all have the best french fries.

What exit are you? No where else can you drive for 15 mph for a solid three hours and go only 45 miles from your starting point. Awesome? I believe so.

The Garden State. You may laugh but the truth is… you all wish you lived here. Why else would the parkway be crowded year-round? Why else would there be a diner every other mile? Why else would pork-roll be attempted to be re-created in other states? Why else would people relentlessly crowd our spaces with their outside ways? The answer. Tourists love Jersey.

Don't bother with valet parking here. They are slow and rude. Knowing this from previous visits we parked in the garage and went straight to the check-in. The line was long, but it moved along at a good pace.

When we got to the desk I asked if they had a suite for us. Now note, I only reserved a regular room and this was free. The clerk asked to see our Ids and asked if there were any special occasions. I mentioned an anniversary and he upgraded us to a Fiore Suite at no charge! The room was great! Great view. Lots of room. Nice deep tub and a large shower.

We ate at Bobby Flay Steak the first night. It was bad. The service was Ok but the food was awful.

My wife had a massage the next day. She really enjoyed the great service.

We ate at Homestead the next night. They were great, as usual. If you go to Homestead consider splitting the salad, potatoes, and main course. The portions are huge. More than enough for two. Service was outstanding.

Room service was fast, courteous, and accurate.

The Borgata is a place where you go to spend money. Even with a comped room we spent a lot on drinking, dining, and the spa. Of course the casino is the casino… If you are looking for an inexpensive AC trip, try somewhere else. But it you are looking for the closest thing to a five-star Vegas resort on the East Coast, nothing beats the Borgata!
