On the menu for Jersey Shore dining this summer, along with the inevitable seafood dinners and boardwalk treats, there will no doubt be a lingering aftertaste of Sandy.
The summer of 2013 pop-music schedule at the Jersey Shore is not quite so star-studded as last year. Atlantic City got a boost in 2012 with Beyoncé christening the then-brand-new Revel casino. Bader Field hosted Metallica's Orion music festival, which has moved on to Detroit, another town seeking revitalization via rock.
ATLANTIC CITY - Maybe you've noticed the new lighting on the Boardwalk. Or the dozens of "ambassadors" along it eager to answer questions about where to dine, shop, or just have fun.
Not every day at the Jersey Shore can be 80 and sunny. That's when it's time to explore the alternate universe: shopping.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifer, you'll learn something new about your favorite South Jersey beach towns here.
The OTHER Ocean City is a little bit Wildwood, a little bit Fort Lauderdale and a lot of fun for the families and singles (including some from the Philly area) who swarm here each summer.
Tradition rules the day in Stone Harbor and Avalon, where even a menu change sparks discussion. But thats not necessarily a bad thing.
The sand is fine and the post-Sandy attitude is, too, on the seven-mile-long island that long ago proclaimed itself Americas Greatest Family Resort.
Spend the day fishing in Townsends Inlet (where the bugs and fish bite!), then watch the sun set at a Strathmere bar before moving on to Sea Isle Citys hopping clubs.
OCEAN CITY, N.J. - When a hundred or so suit-wearing, briefcase-carrying business owners plunge into the 57-degree ocean at noon Friday to signify the "unlocking" of the resort's beaches, they'll be hoping the world is watching.
The message is loud and clear: The beaches are fine. Come on down!
