Buy

There's a huge outlet mall on the edge of town near Great Adventure. It's worth a look, but don't count on a bargain.

Eat

Jackson is not known for fine dining. Your best bet is either the Cassville Tavern or some pizza parlor. They're all rather good. If it's kosher you crave, then go to Lakewood, one town east of Jackson.

Drink

Go to the Cassville Tavern. Be quiet and easygoing. Eat up. Tip well. Drive away sober.

Sleep

Jackson is nice enough, but it offers not one place for a traveler to sleep. The nearest towns aren't great. Unless you have friends to stay with, your best bet would be a brand name hotel in Point Pleasant, Freehold, or Toms River. If money is no object then either check into the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, take a room in Princeton, Summit, or New York City, or rent a house in Spring Lake or Bay Head.

gollark: TiddlyWiki is quite unique because much of the UI is editable from within TiddlyWiki in somewhat weird ways.

gollark: If you do want to do this sort of thing I would probably recommend python, because I arbitrarily like it.

gollark: https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki is what I use now, it's a selfhosted open source wiki with decent plugin support.

gollark: https://tiddlywiki.com/ is neat, https://github.com/athensresearch/athens/ could be good but is very experimental, https://obsidian.md/ is not open source but apparently runs on a directory of local markdown files so you don't have lockin issues, https://github.com/logseq/logseq apparently exists but I've never used it and it has a closed source backend, https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ is nice if you like VSCode.
