Raymond Goldfield is a lifelong New Jersey resident and travel writer who covers the Northeast for Only In Your State, with a particular focus on New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Raised in the Garden State and deeply rooted in its culture, Raymond writes about hidden-gem restaurants, roadside attractions, and regional dining destinations from firsthand, on-the-ground experience. He's the kind of local guide who will always know about the over-the-top buffet — or the divey diner — that makes a detour worth it.
