Welcome to New Jersey

So, my company is sending me to New Jersey in two weeks. I'm not sure what to expect. I've seen an episode of Jersey Shore and watched a Jets game. It all seems kinda scary.

I've been told that they have a nice turnpike and an awesome airport in Newark that is right near brewery with a pipeline that feeds the airport bars.

I've been to New York City and have seen NJ from a distance. Besides all the smoke stacks and chemical plants it seems like a nice place.

Any advice: what to do, travel tips, customs of the native folk?

Many thanks.

Don't drive like an @$$h0l3. We hate that. It's an ugly place with ugly people, but there are a few places not so armpitty. Where are you staying?

Boss told me Exit 8

On the turnpike?

Maybe he said Motel 8.

Anything South of Raritan or West Rte 287 is nice. Otherwise you stand a chance of getting robbed.

Maybe I can get out of this.

Exit 8 has its own FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Exit-8-On-NJ-Turnpike/123825591003054.

That's a pretty nice part of NJ, go visit Princeton if you have time.

Like I said, small pockets of nice. Otherwise crap

Looking for flights. The project has a tight budget. I see one from Logan to Newark with only one stop at o'hare.

That's crazy. How is it cheaper to go from logan to Newark, via ohare? I always thought the shortest distance between two points is a straight line...

:dunno:

Last year I was trying to fly to Myrtle Beach and found it was cheaper to fly there with a layover in Charlotte than it was to fly to Charlotte (same flight). It was cheaper to get on a 2nd plane and fly further.

I'll never understand the rationale of the airlines.

The project is in south Brunswick. Looks like exit 8. Looks to be near a winery called the grape escape. I may need lots of that.
