| One the greatest American pastimes is shopping. Whether you enjoy window shopping, buying knickknacks as a tourist, shopping online, or simply walking the local mall, there is something for everyone. Shopping has become central to our way of life, with brand names like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger covering everything from perfume to designer jeans. First-rate shopping is easy to find with stores like Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus, and Bloomingdale’s in malls across the nation. The Mall of America is the nation’s largest, sporting a huge food court, an indoor amusement park, and shopping for all ages. A simple pair of jeans can turn into a day’s project, presenting choices like loose-fit versus boot-cut, flared versus tight, low-rise or the classic fit? Online shopping simplifies your search with websites like buyerdom.com and shopzilla.com, and the every popular Ebay. Magazines like Lucky Magazine and Domino Magazine feature online and local shopping guides from home décor to date night apparel. The Fashion Editor is one of the largest online fashion and trend setting guides, offering advice on the latest styles, the fashion industry, and famous stylists. It’s not just the ladies that find shopping addicting, with AskMen.com featuring monthly fashion and shopping question and answers. Of course, most men would rather be seen at the nearby Lowe’s or Home Depot for home fix-ups and furnishings instead. Sporting goods, electronics, and entertainment are big among most, and feature venues like BestBuy, RadioShack, and Sports Authority. After a long day, Barne’s & Noble and Borders are popular bookstores offering comfy chairs for shoppers to peruse their books in luxury before purchasing. With so many shoppers and so much to buy, yesterday’s purchases are quickly passed on to consignment shops and secondhand stores like Name Brand Exchange, sold at rummage sales, or donated to The Salvation Army and Goodwill. Known as the Garden State, New Jersey has so much to offer and has a little bit of everything for everyone. Whether you are a visitor or a native, there is always something new and exciting hiding around every corner. Take in the refreshing breeze and blue skies of the Jersey Shore, where the summers seem as endless as the white sandy beaches. Along the 127 miles of the Jersey Shore you will find smaller towns with more charm than any other. Try your hand at Blackjack or just take in a good show in Atlantic City, enjoy a stroll down famous boardwalks such as Wildwood or take a leisurely drive along the Jersey Shore coastline where the scenery is absolutely breathtaking and every town along the way is rich in history and culture. New Jersey is also ideal for family outings. Along the Camden Waterfront, is the Adventure Aquarium where you can get a first hand experience with many different sea creatures. You can swim with the sharks, train and feed seals, scuba dive with schools of fish and much more. Head on over to Jackson and satisfy the thrill seeker in you at Six Flags Great Adventure, which features Hurricane Harbor Water Park and Wild Safari Animal Park. Wherever you decide to go or whatever you decide to do while in the great Garden State, don’t forget to embrace a breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty from Liberty State Park, an experience that is as priceless as New Jersey itself.
