Best Places To Visit In New Jersey During The Fall

There are so many towns and places to visit this time of year to enjoy fall that it can be a little overwhelming.

The experts at Only In Your State, though, think they've found the best small town in Jersey to visit this fall, and no, it's not Cape May.

Settled deep in Essex County, this town is home to just under 15 thousand people and has a lot to offer visitors during the fall.

Why Verona, NJ, Is The Perfect Fall Destination

Amazing scenery, a hot dining scene featuring some pretty great restaurants, and a cool castle that offers up views of New York City when you climb to the top.

Sure, there are lots of great places to visit in Jersey this fall for leaf peeping, but Verona is taking the cake as Jersey's best fall town.
