I've been reading a fair few novels set on the east coast of the US and have noticed that there seem to be loads of references to the New Jersey Turnpike. For someone who has not spent any significant time in the States (bar 5 hours in the LA and Miami airports respectively) and only knows one New Yorker, this seems to be full of significance, but I'm missing what it actually is. Could someone enlighten me?
