You're apparently referring to the Hasidim, an ultra-orthodox sect of Judaism. They are completely different from Reform or Conservative Jews.
You need to clarify that they are specifically whom you are discussing in your comments, not all Jews collectively.
There are very distinct areas of NY and NJ where Hasidic Jews live. Your description gives the impression that Hasidic Jews comprise the predominant demographic of the entire area. That's simply not true.
The only time you will see "hundreds walking with their families" is if you travel to a Hasidic community like Monsey, NY. It's possible that a rest stop on the highway going through that community has a "kosher section" but "every single rest stop/convenience store on the highway"? Nope.
I lived in Bergen county NJ for over 30 years. And no, there aren't synagogues everywhere you walk. In my town (pop. 15,000) there wasn't a single one.
As far as your statements about the non-existence of antisemitism toward this particular group of Jews, let's go back to the not so distant past, circa 2017, and do a quick search for "eruv in mahwah, nj".
An unfortunate number of those good townsfolk tried to pass unconstitutional laws forbidding Hasidic families from using Mahwah's parks. Yep, petitions were signed, and many derogatory comments about the Hasidics were made to media. They were loud and proud of their antisemitism. Mahwah, a largely upper middle class/wealthy town of 26,000 distinguished itself for all the wrong reasons.
But they were just following in the footsteps of Tenafly, NJ.
So let's be honest. Just because you don't see blatant examples of Jew-hating, doesn't mean it's not there.
There's always that undercurrent, just below the surface.
