Middlesex County, New Jersey
Central Jersey has a heartbeat, and it’s called Middlesex County. This area sits between New York City and Philadelphia. It soaks up influence from both. New Brunswick is home to Rutgers University, known for its cutting-edge research.
You’ll find a real melting pot here. Edison has one of the largest Asian communities in the state. The food scene reflects this diversity. From Korean barbecue to Portuguese seafood, your taste buds won’t get bored.
Visitors can explore sites like the Proprietary House in Perth Amboy. Middlesex isn’t all urban sprawl though. The county has its share of parks and nature preserves. You can kayak on the Raritan River or hike in Cheesequake State Park.

Dense in the east, greener toward the west. You’ll see highways and neighborhoods packed in tight, especially near Edison and New Brunswick. But it opens up the farther you move from the river. The Raritan River snakes through the middle, and the bay in the northeast adds a flash of blue.
