Planning a wedding? Check out these non traditional NJ locations

Let's go! I can't believe another Jersey Shore summer is already here. I hope you have a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend with family and friends. What are your plans? Are you heading to the beach? Maybe you are making your way into Asbury Park?. Throughout the week, you hear me...

Who has a sweet tooth?! This is a perfect spot to go to with family and friends this weekend. I am immediately getting to the point with this article. Taking no, no games! There's one dessert spot in Monmouth County you desperately need to try. It's in Sea Girt right off route 35 near Wall Township.

If you love the creepy, strange, intriguing, haunted, or just odd places in America then this is a location you need to put on your must-visit list. For me, it is right up there with the Winchester Mystery House in California. I don't know if it's haunted, but it is the strangest home I have ever been in.

Convention Hall stands tall, proudly overlooking the beautiful sandy beaches of what is quickly becoming America's premier summer getaway once again. Could you imagine if the walls of Asbury Park's Convention Hall could talk? The stories would be of the heyday, and of the ups and downs through the years, of the terrible cruise ship disaster, and everything in between.

Memorial Day Weekend is here. We have the "best" ice cream places at the shore. I remember growing up and coming to the shore every summer and the ice cream was always the best. I'm not sure if it was the beach, boardwalk, salt air, or what it was, but the taste beat anything we had at home in Pennsylvania.

Social media is buzzing about the place. It's always exciting when a new local business opens up. It feels like the community is coming back to life after a rough couple of years. I recently saw people in the Barnegat Township Chatter Facebook Group buzzing about a new business -...

We've been waiting patiently since they broke ground in 2018 in Jackson, right next to Six Flags Great Adventure. A lot has been done since breaking ground several years ago. If you're unfamiliar with Adventure Crossing, it will be a massive youth sport and entertainment destination here at the Jersey Shore. Youth sports teams from the Northeast and all over can stay and play for an extended stay.

Are you ready to be chilled to the bone all while you have a great meal? There is a place in Ocean City, New Jersey where a certain spirit never wanted to leave, maybe because the food was that good?. Let me tell you a story about the spirit of...

Another popular Seaside Heights event is making a return for 2022. 'Kites in the Heights' is back. This year will feature more kites than ever taking flight on North Beach on the Boardwalk and beach north of Casino Pier. It's a bit more laid back than South Beach. The events...

Recently, the New Jersey Monthly showed up in our mail at work. The monthly magazine does a great job and I always enjoy reading it when I have the time. The writers are very professional, and they deserve a ton of credit. For the most part, it's statewide information, but sometimes they highlight a few businesses and activities here in Monmouth & Ocean Counties.

I fully recognize that this is a BOLD and controversial statement. I'm about to crown this Jersey Shore spot as the best ice cream in all of Monmouth County, New Jersey. With Memorial Day weekend on the way, this is news you can use. Admittedly, my family has done more...

WILDWOOD — Founded in 1963 by municipal firefighter and eventual city historian George Boyer, the nonprofit Wildwood Historical Society makes a point of taking visitors back to their childhoods at this iconic Jersey Shore destination. But the museum on Pacific Avenue bearing Boyer's name features facts and artifacts from...

Ahh yes! I am writing about food. What else is new?! Seriously, I am on my way to becoming 600lbs. I have to get a grip, but what Jersey Shore restaurants have to offer is too good to pass up. However, I am going on a cruise in a month, so I might have to start eating and writing about salads. Instead of the best chicken fingers in New Jersey, I'll have to write about the best salads in New Jersey.

ASBURY PARK — New Jersey's beaches, for the most part, are in good condition and ready to handle crowds. But the same was said just months before Sandy made landfall here in 2012 and changed the New Jersey landscape forever. "Although we were fortunate this past winter, we're not...

It was the worst school shooting since the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012 that occurred at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday afternoon. There were 21 souls whose lives were taken in a terrible act of gun violence. This tragic, most recent shooting...

Over the past few weeks, Monmouth County has had a few unusual visitors. I'm not talking people, I'm talking black bears. Shannon Holly from the Jersey Shore Morning Show told the story of a friend who got an early start at 5:30 one morning, looked out the window, and saw a black bear climbing a tree.

We already know we live in the most beautiful place, right along the beautiful beaches of the Jersey Shore. We have the "best" ride piers at our boardwalks in the world, in my opinion. Road trip for this weekend. Spring has been eh, but summer is right around the corner,...

In case you missed Thursday's big announcement by Governor Phil Murphy and NJ DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette, all 50+ New Jersey state parks, forests, and recreation areas will feature free entry all summer. (Don't worry - if you've already purchased a season pass, you'll be offered a full refund.) In...

This time last year, Oceanside Realty in Long Beach Island would have told you not to bother searching for a weekly rental for the summer, because almost everything was booked. But with fewer travel concerns related to COVID-19, a stay near the New Jersey coast may not be as hot...
