Great Jersey places for Valentine’s dates (Opinion)
A new survey by Wallethub has New Jersey coming in 12th as a great state to date in. Analyst Jill Gonzalez said they looked at 29 key indicators of dating friendliness across 50 states, ranging from the share of single adults to things like movie costs and nightlife options per capita.
