Spring break is here! Whether you waited until the last minute to plan or you're on a budget, there's a lot of places to enjoy spring weather right in the tri-state area. Travel + Leisure's editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford shares her picks for the best staycations in New Jersey and we also take your calls to hear yours.

*This segment is guest-hosted by Kerry Nolan*

Listeners called in with their own recommendations for the best New Jersey destinations:

Alex in Allendale: Northern New Jersey has great outdoor activities -- and the Ramapo Mountains are accessible via transit.

Hank in Fort Lee: The Asbury to Riegelsville (PA) road off Route 78, take it into Pennsylvania. "One of the most beautiful roads to drive ever. Orchards and rivers. Plus a cute little bridge. You get off the highway and you're in a different world."

Lotte in Boonton: Boonton is a great historical town easy to get to from New York, with good hiking and a beautiful library.

Yay to the Boonton, NJ rec! Fabulous and funky little town. Gorgeous countryside and city views just a mile away. And @BoontonCoffeeCo of course. ☺️

Lauren in Bergen County: Asbury Park! The Silverball Pinball Museum and also a bar called The Wonder Bar with a Yappy Hour for dogs.

Outside the @WonderBarAP — a music venue across from the Asbury Park boardwalk on the Jersey Shore — #dogs jump from plastic pool to pool and lap from a sprinkler while their owners have a drink during Yappy Hour: https://t.co/wj63onUUKf pic.twitter.com/YKsMdF1KCL

Jacoba in Montclair: Branch Brook Park has more cherry blossom trees than Washington, D.C.

Marshall in Leonia: High Point State Park is in the extreme NW corner of the state near the New York and Pennsylvania borders, with amazing hills and small mountains.

Trisha in Morristown: Morristown is a hidden gem with themansion-washington-s-headquarters.htm"> Ford Mansion, Schuyler Hamilton Mansion, and great hiking trails and excellent food.

@AllOfItWNYC Can I suggest Morristown for a day trip. And center the trip on Morristown National Historical Park. So Wash HQ (with a great museum), Jockey Hollow - then stroll the main drag (South St) and find a restaurant for a great meal.

Roger in Clinton: Frenchtown is a little town on the Delaware River with charm and good restaurants.

Other suggestions:

@AllOfItWNYC This is Steve from Lynbrook NY and one of my favorite places is Stokes State Forest Park located in Sandyston, Montague and Frankford in Sussex County. Amazing trails, tons of wildlife and plenty to do for outdoor lovers

@WNYC @AllOfItWNYC I’m so happy you’re speaking about my neck of the woods right now! It’s truly a beautiful area. Don’t forget to sea glass hunt when you come to the shore 🥰❤️💫 pic.twitter.com/fBZDQoFeLN
