Best Jersey Instagrams to follow
As much as we New Jerseyans love living here, we’d be lying if we said we never get bored. It can often get old driving down the same road each day to get the kids from school, or ordering the same entree each week at my local Italian spot. If you often feel the same way, it’s time to head over to Instagram and follow some New Jersey based bloggers. Not only are their posts relatable, but they run the show when it comes to finding new and exciting things to do around New Jersey. Here are a few pages that’ll make you turn on your post notifications:
@Nj_bucketlist
New Jersey Bucket List is the best page if you are looking to have an adventure around New Jersey. The account focuses on showing trendy places to eat around New Jersey, as well as spots around the state to hang out with friends.

@Visit_Nj

@newjerseymemes
While we love being New Jerseyans, we don’t love everything about the state of New Jersey. New Jersey Memes posts relatable and hilarious quotes that make New Jersey residents feel a greater sense of community. From jokes about the highway to taxes, this account will leave you laughing . And in addition to their humor, they also use their account for good by highlighting small businesses in New Jersey and drawing attention to anything “New Jersey” that deserves a little more recognition.
