New Jersey Restaurants on the Hudson River
Residents in northeastern New Jersey are fortunate enough to share part of the Hudson River with New York City. A bike and walking path has been built along the river's edge from the George Washington Bridge to Jersey City. Dotting the path are several restaurants offering passersby good food with a view of the river and the Manhattan skyline. Does this Spark an idea?
