Last night on "Drive-ins, Diners and Dives" on the Food Network, Guy traveled around New Jersey visiting diners in the state. Usually he covers 3 or 4 places in a show that are scattered around the area. Last night, being that NJ is the Diner State, he focused on New Jersey alone. He visited different [...]
If you’re looking for a great little cafe in Central Jersey, I have a jewel to share with you. There’s a little cafe at the top of the hill near the High Bridge train station called Cafe Hola! It has great baked goods, smoothies, milkshakes, along with sandwiches, fruit cups, soups and more. It’s adorable [...]
If you like to play games old school style, then you’ll want to check out Richie Knucklez on Rt 12 in Flemington, NJ. This arcade and pinball store sells machines to the public. There’s something special going on there on Friday nights though call Flashback Fridays, and you’re not going to want to miss this! [...]
On Saturday they were open, on Sunday they were closed with a sign that said Last Week, Thx. A lot of places were closing up for the season, and will reopen once again come spring. This little ice cream place in Peahala Park, which is in the middle of LBI holds fond memories for me. [...]
My son is a big Weird Al Ynakovic fan. Coincidentally, my husband was on Ticketmaster looking for other things, and came across this. It turns out he was going to be in Wildwood, the same day we got there. He was over at the Wildwoods Convention Center. I couldn’t pass it up, since I knew [...]
A Taste of Clinton was today. It was a Chamber of Commerce sponsored event I think. Then there was the Seafood Fest which benefits the Anderson House. You could also find the Oxford Music Festival in Oxford, NJ today. Lots of fun, food and music going on….and we went to NONE of them! They all [...]
I’ve been speaking about the Jersey shore a lot today; LBI and Wildwood. I thought I’d put some info up about something a lot of people may not think of. We think of vacations as fun and sometimes we forget basic rules of safety. Here are some important facts about riptides… If the water [...]
This is the red mill house that is often seen in paintings and pictures around here. It really is lovely, and quietly tucked away right off of main street behind The Clinton House. If you look closely, you’ll see a couple of out of town visitors were nearby. Here, I’ve zoomed in for you…
$70 is what it would cost me for a day at Hurricane Harbor for two people. That doesn’t include a locker, food or other extras. It does include a full day of fun on a lazy river, whoosing down giant water slides, a wave pool and other splash zones. Sometimes I want to detach the [...]
I’m looking at a little bear on my desk and it’s reminding me of Fantasy Island. Fantasy Island reminds me of the old television show, when I think of just the name, but these days Fantasy Island is an arcade and entertainment area for kids in Long Beach Island, NJ. My son loves going there, [...]
