If there is a culture people associate with New Jersey, it’s Italian. That’s a fair assessment — and we do have restaurants serving incredible pizza, pasta, and other Italian dishes throughout the state. But other cultures are represented throughout Jersey. Consider Wallington, New Jersey. This tiny town is unlike many others in the area: It boasts a massive Polish enclave. Thus, it’s the perfect place to visit in the state when you’re looking for some delicious, authentic Polish eats.

Wallington, New Jersey is a charming, bustling town on a river. It’s also known as New Jersey’s Little Poland.

That makes Wallington the perfect place to visit if you love Polish cuisine!
