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.
