'Jersey Shore Family Vacation' new season: Where was it filmed in New Jersey?

How Jersey will the upcoming season of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” be?

Filming primarily took place in the Florida Keys for the upcoming Season 5, which debuts Thursday, Jan 6. But while there's no “Shore House” this time around, there are a few signs that the 495 Productions, the show's producers, have been busy filming in Jersey.

So, what exit did filming take place? The Butcher's Block restaurant in Long Branch hosted what appears to be two shoots. In October, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife, Lauren Sorrentino, visited the spot for “Mom & Dad flex” with the roomies with cameras in tow, according to Mike's social media. The majority of the cast and cameras were there again last week, again according to Mike's social media.

The roomies took a group shot during their most recent visit. Deena Cortese wasn't in the picture, but she pleaded for a photoshop.

“lol I wish we could have stayed longer but everything was absolutely beautiful,” commented Deena on Mike's post.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who's on hiatus from the show due to legal problems, and Angelina Pivarnick, who for some reason has a history of not joining the cast at the Butcher's Block, were not pictured. Pauly DelVecchio's girlfriend, Nikki Hall; Uncle Nino Giaimo, aka Vinny Guadagnino’s uncle; Jenni “JWoww' Farley's fiancé, Zack Clayton; and Meilani Mathews, Jenni's daughter, were also pictured with the cast.

The October cast pic at the Butcher's Block also didn't include Ronnie or Angelina.

“Jersey Shore” cast members have dined at the Butcher's Block in the past, although the show has never filmed there. However, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” did film cast member Joey Gorga's birthday dinner there for the March 17, 2021 episode of the Bravo show.

Reps from the Butcher's Block, which is temporarily closed, declined to comment.

Filming has also appeared to take place at Mike's home in Holmdel. That's where the roomies formally met Mike and Lauren's new son, Romeo, and Cameron Theo Buckner, the second for Deena and husband Chris Buckner of Jackson, in October.

At least one “JSFV” cast member has had a Jersey address change since Season 4. Angelina moved from Matawan to Freehold Township in October. She posted a pic of her and the moving team making the move on Instagram. Husband Chris Larangeira was not in the picture, nor were film cameras.

The upcoming season also features “wild nights in L.A. with Vinny” and “DJ Pauly D’s return to the clubs, this group continues to bring the non-stop party wherever they go,” according to MTV.

Before then, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, who makes her “official return” in the upcoming season, Jenni and Mike will host “The 12 Days of Jerzmas,” 8 p.m. ET Dec. 16 on MTV. They guys will look back on fond “JSFV” moments and look ahead to the new season, too.
