Ten reasons to miss Jersey (after all, this page is called The Jersey Exile):

1. Pork roll. If you have to ask, don't bother.

2. Philly Cheesesteaks. "Wit", of course.

3. Atlantic City. You can keep your precious Las Vegas and those mall-sized Native American supercasinos!

4. Tastykakes. Yes, there's a lot of food involved here.

5. Skee-ball. The sport of the gods. (cf. Kevin Smith's film Dogma)

6. All night diners. And lots of them.

7. Birch Beer. Pennsylvania Dutch style, with the artificial coloring to make it red.

8. The Pine Barrens. Home of the Jersey Devil.

9. Ocean Drive. Thirty miles of rickety bridges and gorgeous saltmarsh vistas.

10. WaWa. The best convenience store in the universe.
