This was my first time in a White Castle. If it's good enough for the Beastie Boys and Harold & Kumar, it's good enough for me.
By 'good' I mean edible. As in if you are starving and/or nothing else is open, White Castle is great.
Favorite Dish: Slyders because I crave them.
The Chicken ring sandwich was oddly not that bad.
I've been wanting to come here since 1986 after listening to the Beastie Boys. 6 songs on their Licensed to Ill album mentioned White Castle.
White Castle fries only come in one size

If you have seen my New Jersey page, then you know that this is the entire reason for even including New Jersey in my travels. When I was in Toms River, I discovered a new type of traffic pattern called the 'jug handle.' This picture is my own awful attempt at drawing the nasty thing. Not having been able to see these things from the air, I can't guarantee that my rendering is completely correct, but it should give you enough of an idea so that you don't get into any traffic accidents. The entire point of these jug handles is to make sure no one gets into an accident while trying to make a left turn on a major roadway. Instead, you can have wonderful fun getting into accidents while trying to change lanes to get onto or off of a jug handle. The side roads don't have these (thank heavens) so if you find you have serious trouble getting used to them, you can try to re-map your route through smaller streets. I have heard that jug handles are all over New Jersey, but not having driven too much throughout New Jersey (except to get through it or out of it), I can't testify to this. The red arrows are where the cars are going, the black arrows are actually the markings on the road.
