    General Tips: Madonna dei Martiri Italian Festival

    • Fondest Memory: La Madonna dei Martiri is the patron saint of Molfetta, in Puglia, Italy. Years ago many Molfettese settled in Hoboken (and the Hudson County area) and brought their traditions with them. As a descendant of Molfettese, I have been going to this festival since I was a little girl. The original celebration in Molfetta is also something very special to experience(more info in my Puglia page). The following webpage provides more information, for I cannot do it justice here:

    General Tips: Liberty State Park

    • Fondest Memory: As a child I took many field trips to the Statue of Liberty. You can take the ferry from Liberty State Park in Jersey City and visit Liberty Island and Ellis Island. The ticket is $10.00 for adults, and the ferry operates seven days a week from 9:30 to 3:30, every hour.

    I don't think you can actually go inside the statue at this time, so check the website for updates.

    General Tips: Jenkinson's Aquarium
  • Tip Rating:
  • Written by nicolettart on Jun 18, 2003
  • New Jersey Travel Guide
  • Send to a Friend
    • Favorite Thing: I think it's so great to have this aquarium near my home. They have all kinds of creatures, tropical fish, and penguins. Currently, they are featuring a new rainforest exhibit, a rare white alligator from Louisiana, and Madagascar hissing cockroaches (if you've seen the show Fear Factor you know they are not that tasty, either!)

    It's on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for kids.
    Check out the website for more information:

    • New Jersey - Manasquan Beach

    • Favorite Thing: It's great living close to the beach... I can go in the morning and return home in the early afternoon. Aahh, I love watching the planes pulling banners across the sky and listening to Bruce Springsteen blaring from someone's radio!!
    In New Jersey most beaches charge a fee--you need a beach badge to get on the beach. The only free beaches are Asbury Park and the Wildwoods.
    At the Manasquan Inlet, the closest beach in my area, an adult day badge costs $5.

    • Favorite Thing: Lambertville is a quaint little town on the Delaware River, right across from New Hope, Pennsylvania. If you're in New Jersey or the New York area, you might want to take a day trip here--it's nice to walk around, there are endless little artsy shops and galleries.

    More info on my little Lambertville page...

    • Favorite Thing: Allaire State Park is a beautiful place to visit. I like it especially in the fall. At Christmas time, you can take your kids on the steam train to meet Santa. It's cute for the younger kids, especially if they're into trains.

    Allaire State Park is in Howell, NJ
    reachable from rt. 195

     Che pagina interessante! Dovrei proprio venire in New Jersey! La storia degli emigranti italiani è molto affascinante!    		hunterV Mon Jan 21, 2008 19:35 UTC
     Hi, Nicoletta! Thanks for your life story and pages! They make interesting reading! The pictures are superb! Greetings to the MOB!

     Nice overview of your home state. We now have a new Ikea store here in Frankfurt, just 20 minutes by bicycle from my house. (20 minutes by car, too, because they have to go a long way around.) Great that NJ now has a light rail system.    		anees Sun Jul 29, 2007 03:33 UTC
     nice tips, good idea of mentioning people' name who work in restaurants. cool idea
