Great Small Family-Friendly Towns in New Jersey
"Charming" is an overused word, but when it comes to certain small towns, no other word will do. New Jersey is a big state, but it does "small town" very well; from Cranford to Chester to the mile square of Hoboken, we're on a quest to find, and present to you, every delightful tiny town in the Garden State. Even if all you're looking for is a sweet little town in which to watch 4th of July fireworks, check back often as we grow our guides of great small towns in NJ. And feel free to suggest your favorites in the comments!
