"The team at American Holidayscompiled a list of eight must-see spots that will help explain and elaborate on The Boss' legacy. Start your pilgrimage in Freehold, New Jersey, at 39 1/2 Institute Street, the modest white house where Springsteen grew up in the late 1950s, and where his first glimpses of small-town Americana began to take shape."
"Down in Asbury Park, you'll find Convention Hall, a historic venue where Springsteen regularly performed and rehearsed alongside legends like Led Zeppelin and James Brown. A few blocks away sits The Stone Pony, the gritty club where he cut his teeth and still occasionally drops in for surprise sets. You can even stop by Madam Marie's, the boardwalk fortune teller who famously predicted Springsteen's rise to fame."
"You can even stop by Madam Marie's, the boardwalk fortune teller who famously predicted Springsteen's rise to fame. In Hoboken, stop in at Maxwell's Tavern, the neighborhood bar where he filmed part of his "Glory Days" video. And for one final photo op, head back to 10th Avenue in Belmar, where a giant 8-foot guitar monument honors "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and Born to Run. Music pilgrimages like this are only growing in"
Jeremy Allen White stars in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, a biopic now in theaters that focuses on the making of Nebraska. New Jersey remains central to Bruce Springsteen's identity and creative origins. Key sites include 39 1/2 Institute Street in Freehold, the E Street in Belmar, and the Born to Run house in Long Branch where songs like "Thunder Road" were written. Asbury Park venues such as Convention Hall and The Stone Pony served as performance and rehearsal spaces. Madam Marie's boardwalk stall, Maxwell's Tavern in Hoboken, and a giant Belmar guitar monument complete a mapped musical pilgrimage.
