Atlantic City, NJ
Opened in 1870, Atlantic City’s 5.5-mile boardwalk is the oldest in the U.S. and the longest in the world. Once lined with grand Art Deco and Beaux-Art hotels, AC’s boardwalk is the birthplace of Jersey’s beloved saltwater taffy and is famed for its casinos—which were central to Prohibition-era entertainment—that remain the city’s chief attraction today.
