Best of NJ, a lifestyle and tourism website featuring everything New Jersey, just put out their list of The Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants in New Jersey of 2023, separated by North, Central, South Jersey, and Jersey Shore.

There are still gems to be found in Central Jersey that could rival any place, anywhere else.
