Some states have really nice rest stops along the freeway. I think it's variable
Yeah, service areas between between PA-NJ-NY were always pretty good, I miss those today driving here in FL today, where its mostly shitty gas stations where you have to ask for a key to use the restrooms.
You don't get the Norway views but its also not a complete mess.
The ones on the New Jersey Turnpike are pretty ok. The Jon Bon Jovi rest stop is a trip.
