Molly Pitcher Service Area (NJ Turnpike)
The New Jersey Turnpike is an experience. Not a good experience — just an experience. The service areas are named after famous New Jerseyans, which is how you end up eating Burger King at the Molly Pitcher plaza while explaining to your nine-year-old who Molly Pitcher was. It's fine. It's functional. The important thing is you survived the George Washington Bridge and you're pointed south. Keep going.
