Between hyperactive New York City and lively Philadelphia, New Jersey may seem like the calm neighbor; in fact it's full of life.

From the key battles of the American Revolution and the Civil War, to rapid economic growth that fostered pioneers like Thomas Edison and the founders of the motion picture industry; New Jersey has been at the heart of American history and industry.

The state's industrial past is evident in the hubs of Newark and Trenton, but when you want to relax, be sure not to overlook the miles of white sand beaches, mountains and verdant landscape that inspired the title printed on every New Jersey license plate - 'The Garden State'.

This site will ensure that you catch all of the state's hidden gems, help you book your New Jersey hotel online, reserve a table at one of New Jersey's best restaurants, reserve tickets to a show or sports event, book a New York City tour or rent a car.
