Burlington, N.J.'s close proximity to the ocean, makes it a great place to check out a seafood restaurant.
Although a suburb of Philadelphia, Burlington is a city in New Jersey with roots dating back to the late 1600s. Popular area attractions include Waterfront Park and Oneida Boat Clubhouse, Revell House, Old City Hall and the Quaker Meeting House. Due to Burlington's close proximity to the water and fishing, there are also a number of seafood restaurants in the area. Add this to my Recipe Box.
