5 great restaurants for outside dining this summer in NJ
New Jersey's diverse landscapes provide seemingly endless options for outdoor dining. You can eat outside in a rural, urban or beach setting this summer — perhaps all in one day if you're feeling adventurous (and if you love food as much as I do).
It would take me a very long time to list each and every restaurant that offers outdoor seating in New Jersey, but I will share with you the locations of my five favorite outdoor dining experiences.
