Getting around New Jersey

New Jersey is a commuter-rail state wrapped around car-dependent office parks. Newark (EWR) connects to NJ Transit rail (and AirTrain), which reaches a lot of the state; the southern edge uses Philadelphia (PHL). If your destination is a town center near a station, the train works. If it is a campus off the highway — Parsippany, Whippany, Basking Ridge — it is a rideshare or a rental, and a rental usually wins for a multi-stop day.

Where to stay in New Jersey

Match the hotel to the office, not the reflex booking. Our where to stay in new jersey guide maps the metro by submarket and employer, with a verified shortlist for each company.

A free evening in New Jersey

New Jersey's corporate belt is quiet after hours, but you are rarely far from something better — a county park or the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath for a walk, and, more often than not, a short train into Manhattan or down to Philadelphia when the evening deserves a city.

More on working the city and recovering on the road.
