Skal du til NYC, skaff deg månedskort fra NJ Transit eller bruk MyTix-appen, sparer kø og er billigere enn å kjøpe papirbilletter hver dag.

Én dag rekker til hovedstedene, to dager hvis du liker å utforske lokale spisesteder og bruktbutikker.

Elvebredden ved Hackensack er fin ved solnedgang, stille og fredelig, perfekt for en kveldstur.

Ta med kontanter til små lunsjsteder; noen billigere etniske steder her tar fortsatt ikke kort, spesielt på helgemarkeder.

I juli var det fuktig og klamt, gatene virket litt nedslitte enkelte steder. Ikke mitt favorittstopp.
