Where to stay in New Jersey Close to NYC?

Would like to stay in New Jersey somewhere close to NYC so we can do some site seeing in both places - where would you recommend?

Hi Melissa;
If you prefer a quiet, Jersey shore beach town with Charming Victorian bed & breakfasts, no honky tonk t-shirt shops, and a nearby train ride to NYC of approximately 1 hour, I would recommend Spring Lake.

If you prefer a Jersey shore beach town with more activity including a boardwalk with an amusement park, dance clubs, and plenty of casual dining restaurants, and a nearby train ride NYC of approximately 1 hr 15 minutes, I would recommend Point Pleasant.

If you prefer a more urban setting, a closer train ride into NYC of approximately 20 minutes, some great sight seeing including the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and an abundance of restaurants, I would recommend Jersey City.

Enjoy your stay in New Jersey,
