Reader's Digest recently named the Atlantic City Boardwalk as New Jersey's top tourist destination, highlighting its nightlife, casinos, dining, and resort appeal.

Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the Atlantic City Boardwalk:

"When you think of the Jersey Shore, Atlantic City and its lively gambling, resorts, wide beaches and iconic boardwalk likely spring to mind. AC's tourism market is alive and thriving, with 27 million visitors traveling here each year. When you're not rolling some dice, be sure to check out Tony Boloney's, an inventive pizza joint serving up pies with toppings like chicken and waffle, fig, homemade goat cheese and local honey."

The Boardwalk is highlighted as historically significant for being America's first boardwalk and one of the most famous attractions on the Jersey Shore. According to New Jersey Digest, the Boardwalk dates to 1870, when it opened as the first boardwalk in the United States and evolved into a center for entertainment, casinos, and nightlife.

Redevelopment over the years has preserved the Boardwalk's status as a key New Jersey landmark. Atlantic City is in the midst of a development boom with new investments continuing to bolster the attraction's appeal to visitors.
