✅ JERSEY CITY BY BEYOND THE PLATE FOOD TOURS

With so much happening in the Jersey City restaurant scene, it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few options—but Beyond the Plate takes the hard work out of deciding where to eat. Restaurant stops vary, with tours highlighting both Downtown and The Heights. Guests can expect anything from scratch-made tacos to authentic Italian fare and even the occasional brewery. All tours include between three and four restaurants, plus a dessert stop. 551.233.9553 • beyondtheplatefoodtours.com
