I love Mexican food, can't wait to try what's around the area. Yeah, I'm not a fan of taking trains to work. I had more than enough of that with the Path. But my spouse hates driving so that is very convenient for her.
So the trip according to Google Maps is over an hour to EWR from Little Silver and Red Bank. Matawan is the furthest southern stop that can get you to EWR <1hr. That stop will also get me to work in <30min.
So I guess I'm looking at Holmdel, South Middletown and Matawan (for additional transit options).
I hope you aren't suggesting you are going to take the train from Middletown to red bank. the Holmdel township committee will vote you out of the town if you do that. I commute to Brooklyn. I believe public transit would double my commute time but even if it was equal I wouldn't do it. you want to drive a car and be free to come and go as you please. driving to ewr from my house is so easy that you would be crazy to bother waiting for a train. you just fly up the gsp and then fly up the tpk and you are there. you have a great opportunity to live in a great place and still have a nice commute. don't screw it up with some urban anti-car mental issue.
Baja fresh is a fast food Mexican place. I love going there but its a fast food Mexican. you will have a good selection of restaurants in red bank and the shore. in the Holmdel area there are some chain restaurants and stuff. nothing great but for an old man like myself with a 4 year old and a baby, it works for us.

That's not accurate unless you are looking only at local/off-hout trains. The express trains are faster. I take the train every day from Little Silver to Newark Penn. It's a 55-minute ride. You just have to make sure the train stops at EWR, not all do.
And you can't compare the NJ Transit trains to a rapid-rail system like PATH. Hardly the same thing. It's not as though you'll be standing holding onto a pole or something. You can sleep or read.

LOL, even before I was trying to figure out what city to move to I was already looking at which 2nd car to get. I'm offering the train as an alternative to my spouse, she really isn't that ready for the burbs. You have any daycare recommendations Cap?

ok, good. she will get used to it. my wife doesn't work so I don't really do daycare. my daughter is in nursery school but those hours suck for someone that works.
I asked my wife if she knew of any daycares and I think she said kindercare. maybe she was talking about the Middletown one.
Without knowing budget I would have to recommend Westfield. Easily nicest/most fun town in that area, maybe in all of NJ. slightly closer to EWR but not a bad commute to Red Bank. Also Metuchen is a charming town. Why not just live in Red Bank though. Train commute to EWR not bad at all.
