The Perks of Being a Jersey Girl 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) What can I say about living in Westfield, New Jersey? I get to live in the safest community, have the best food in the world, and be minutes from the city that never sleeps. If I want nightlife, I can take the tunnel to Manhattan and dance the night away. I can be in Atlantic Cit ...Read More y in an hour, or take in all the history of Philadelphia in a couple hours.

The best areas in Westfield are the shopping malls. Whether you want upscale or discount outlet malls, the region of Jersey has it all. If you're hungry, I recommend any pizza joint on any corner here in Westfield. They call this region the tri-state area, and from Westfield, I can get to any of the neighboring states in less than an hour.

The Jersey Shore is a little southeast of my home, and I have my choice of dozen of top-rated beaches from Long Branch to Wildwood, not to forget Seaside Heights or Point Pleasant. Read Less
