An article published by Have Clothes, Will Travel has compiled a list from a survey of travelers and two NJ cities made it.

Out of 14 cities listed, Atlantic City came in at number 3. The article goes on to mention that AC has faced various challenges over the last several decades including economic struggles and issues related to crime and poverty. There's no denying the city could use a major facelift.

Further down the list at number 5 was the city of Newark. Voters described their reasoning for including it on this list: "While watching the film “World War Z,” seeing Newark portrayed as being on fire and in chaos, felt as if it was an accurate representation of the city in real life too."
