New Jersey

Hop aboard the Blue Comet for a ride to Atlantic City or croon along with a Hainesport ghost. New Jersey history can keep you up late, so stop by an all-night diner. The moonlight only adds charm to the Victorian architecture of Cape May, while Richard Biegenwald’s murderous legacy casts a shadow over the Jersey Shore. From William Carlos Williams setting pen to paper in Rutherford to the joy of a Clementon lake in summer, these New Jersey history books make time for the Garden State. [View all New Jersey books]

Sink your teeth into this frankly delicious history of Rippers, Texas Wieners, and other iconic dogs of the Garden State.

Any local will tell you that the Garden State is home to a surprising number of unique local and regional hot dog styles. Chili-drenched hot Texas wieners in Paterson. Potato-packed Newark-style Italian dogs at Jimmy Buff’s. Dirty water pushcart franks topped with mustard and sauerkraut. And juicy M.O.P. dogs (that's mustard, onion, and pickle) like the ones served at Hot Dog Johnny's. The origins of New Jersey's iconic hot dogs begin well over a century ago and include obscure holes-in-the-wall and world-famous roadside stands like the historic Rutt’s Hut.

A fun deep dive for foodies, travelers, and local history buffs, author Mark Neurohr-Pierpaoli’s travel guide to the history and traditions of New Jersey's hot dog serving styles is your next great bite!
