New Jersey
New Jersey gets flattened into a punchline more often than it gets credit for 130 miles of Atlantic coastline, most of it lined with boardwalks and beach towns.
Cape May has one of the largest collections of Victorian architecture in the country. Atlantic City runs the casinos further up the coast. Inland, the state has more diners per square mile than anywhere else in America, which locals treat as a point of pride.
It's also one of the easiest states to combine with a New York City trip.
