We are very lucky to have some of the best towns in America right here in New Jersey. Between the main streets, downtowns, restaurants, bars, lounges, shops, and all-around atmosphere, you can’t go wrong with choosing one and making it a day trip for you and the whole family.

And some of the small towns in our state are considered hidden gems. Not many people know about them which makes it even better to visit.

There’s a great list that we can go through as many of these towns have been named “the best” by a significant amount of studies, but let’s talk about the most recent one from HGTV.

If visiting small towns is your thing, especially during this gorgeous weather season, a simple road trip might be worth it to visit these other towns that HGTV names:

The “Antique Capital of New Jersey” was named the most charming town. That would be Lambertville which is home to many shops and galleries along the Delaware River.

If you’re not into the shopping part of it, walking the town see all of the Victorian homes is relaxing enough.
