Diners Are the Only Restaurants You Ever Need<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/18.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe Tick Tock Diner may be the diner that takes all the headlines and fame, but almost without exception, every diner in Jersey is amazing. I spent more time at the Chester Diner during high school than you can imagine.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">2. Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese, Salt, Pepper, Ketchup on a Roll<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/1.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nWe win. Every town has a debate over the best #6 around. And just to be clear, it&#8217;s not pork roll. WTH is pork roll? Ahh, you must be from South Jersey&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">3. You Know in Your Heart North Jersey Is Way Better than South Jersey.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/2.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nI\u2019m kinda biased. I grew up in Mendham. Near Morristown. The better half of Jersey. \ud83d\ude09 A legitimate point of contest is exactly where South Jersey starts. That&#8217;s a debate for someone above my pay grade.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">4. The Bagels<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/3.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nNew York may think they have the best bagels, but that&#8217;s only because they are too stuck up to come across the bridge. O Bagel in Basking Ridge is my current obsession, but I&#8217;ve heard good things from friends about bagels at Bagel Pantry in South Plainfield.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">5. No Pizza Compares to NJ Pizza<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/14.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nDeep dish pizza isn&#8217;t pizza; it&#8217;s sauce bread. California Pizza Kitchen is a crime against humanity. Every town has quality pizza, but check out Sam&#8217;s Pizza Palace down the shore or Star Tavern in North Jersey.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">6. It&#8217;s Called the Garden State for a Reason<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/10.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nFresh NJ corn in the summer at the shore? Yes, please.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">7. You Went to the Shore Every Summer as Much as Humanly Possible<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/11.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nOnly the shore can get me off my NJ food rant. Whether it be the boardwalk at Point Pleasant, the state beach at Seaside Heights, or LBI, everyone has their own personal shore dream destination.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">8. You Know the Cast of Jersey Shore Is from Freakin Staten Island<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/12.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nGet your GTL the hell out of here. K thx bye.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">9. You Let People Judge NJ by the Turnpike and Parkway Near New York City &amp; Newark<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/4.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nTheir ignorance is our gain. And I actually have pretty good associations with the smell of the area because of a certain nearby attraction&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">10. You Know the Giants and Jets Are Actually New Jersey Teams<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/5.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThey should really be called the New Jersey Giants and the New Jersey Jets. It has a much better ring to it. That and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/real-estate\/homes-for-sale\/new-jersey.html\">New Jersey<\/a> clearly houses the stadium.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">11. Kenyon Martin, Jason Kidd, and Richard Jefferson Were the Original Big Three<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/6.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nLebron and company might be better, but New Jersey had the original big three. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/brooklyn-ny\/\">Brooklyn<\/a> can never take this from us.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">12. The Greatest Team Ever to Win the Little League Series Came from Toms River, NJ<\/h2>\n<p>I remember thinking there would never be another little league team like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/toms-river-nj\/\">Toms River<\/a>. And I was right.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">13. It&#8217;s a Common Fact that Boston SUX<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/boston-sucks-the-finger.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nYou can get the hat <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsuxcap.com\/tell-a-friend-boston-sux.htm\">here<\/a>. There&#8217;s nothing to like about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/boston-ma\/\">Boston<\/a>. The Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, and Celtics. Not to mention their god forsaken accent. Speaking of accents&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">14. It&#8217;s Pronounced Mario Not Maaaario<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/8.gif\" \/><br \/>\nWhy do so many people have such a hard time pronouncing the famous plumper&#8217;s name correctly?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">15. Jersey Girls Don\u2019t Pump Gas<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/19.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nState mandated employment helps everyone.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">16. The Liberty Science Center = Real Life Magic<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/LibertyScienceCenter.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nClass trips. Life-sized mouse trap games. Touch Tunnel. Over three stories of magic. Take me to the <a href=\"http:\/\/lsc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liberty Science Center<\/a>, please.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">17. The Teachers&#8217; Convention in November Means New Jersey Goes to Florida<\/h2>\n<p>The only question is exactly where to go in Florida.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">18. Bruce and Bon Jovi Are Gods Among Men<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/15.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nWhen was the last time you didn&#8217;t sing-a-long, word-for-word, to &#8220;Livin&#8217; On A Prayer&#8221; and &#8220;Born to Run&#8221;?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">19. PNC Bank Arts Center Is a Rite of Passage<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/PNC-Bank-Arts-Center.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nIf the Meadowlands wasn&#8217;t the spot for your first concert, chances are PNC took the honors. I hate concerts and I&#8217;ve been here for a concert &#8212; three times.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">20. WaWa Isn\u2019t Just a Store, It\u2019s a Way of Life<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/25.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">21. You Know What Exit You Lived Off the Parkway<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/9.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nEvery true NJ native lived off an exit on the parkway&#8230; Except for me&#8230; I lived off of 287.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">22. NJ Is the Only State that Can Elicit a Cheer at a Bar from Every True Blood<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/13.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no other state allegiance like it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">23. We All Know, Everyone Actually Wants to Live Here.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/24.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the most densely populated state in the country. Rhode Island takes a distant second.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">24. Why Would You Want to Live in New York City When You Have this In Hoboken for 1\/2 the Price?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/22.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nHoboken not your first choice? Then check out Jersey City, Fort Lee, or any other town off NJTransit.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">25. We Aren&#8217;t All in the Mob<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/16.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe Sopranos was a TV show&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">26. Oh Yea, I Haven\u2019t Even Mentioned Frank Sinatra Yet<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/23.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe Voice<br \/>\nSwoonatra<br \/>\nLa Voz<br \/>\nChairman of the Board<br \/>\nThe Sultan of Swoon<br \/>\nOl&#8217; Blue Eyes<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">27. We Have Our Own Devil<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/20.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThey teach this in school (4th grade). It must really exist.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">28. And, Again, for Emphasis, the Shore Is the Greatest Place, Ever<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/08\/new-jersey\/proud\/26.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Check out 22 Maps of New Jersey They Never Showed You In School<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/opinions\/maps-of-new-jersey\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/11\/jersey\/maps-of-new-jersey\/5.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
