New Jersey's capital city offers the kind of deep-dish American history you can only find in a few U.S. cities. (And don't forget about its thin-crust pizza!)

Put on your walking shoes and hike to Hemlock Falls, a 25-foot-high cascade in the heart of the 2,110-acre wooded oasis.

People come from as far away as France to gaze at Paterson's stunning Great Falls. Plus, there's plenty of fabulous Middle Eastern cuisine to try nearby.
