    The best homemade chili in NJ returns to Atlantic Highlands this November, rescheduled due to inclement weather (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    With the cooler weather upon us in New Jersey, it's time to start thinking about warmer comfort foods. Out with the ice cream, and in with the chili. Speaking of which, one of the more popular chili festivals is right around the corner - The Atlantic Highlands Chilifest. But hold up for a minute. Didn't that event already happen? Doesn't it normally occur before the month of September is out? Yes, but due to New Jersey's first Nor'easter of the season striking on the same weekend, and the fact t

    Fifty years of Italian catering and sandwiches at DeMarco's In Aberdeen, now competing for Shore honors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When you think of the phrase "authentic Italian," what comes to mind? For me, it's got to be full course Italian dinner shared with friends and family. But it's not just any dinner. It's one of those dinners where there's way too much food for you to eat. The kind of dinner where everyone has to take something home with them or it'll go bad. And of course, it's got to be prepared by those who have deep Italian roots. You really can't get more "authentic Italian" than that. Another thing is that

    Three dollar coffee has become the new normal at local shops in NJ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Recently, I wrote an article about how I believe rent has gotten so out of hand in New Jersey that those trying to make a living on their own simply can't. Even one roommate doesn't seem like enough to make ends meet anymore (you can read more about that in the link below). A friend of mine saw that article and wanted to share a BuzzFeed ranking with me. It's a list of 20 things that were affordable 10 years ago that feel out of touch today. One item in particular on that list is one I began to

    Elsie's Sub Shop serves generations of families in Red Bank, now in the running for Shore's best (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When it comes to a classic sub, you know one of the only places you can find one is at a small mom-and-pop sub shop. The type of place that feels like it's both locked in time, while simultaneously moving into the future. I remember going to my first classic sub shop when I was a kid. I had to be 5 or so, and it was this little sub shop in Brick. I don't remember the name of the place, and unfortunately it no longer exists. It was one of those tiny spots you'd get giant subs, and I still remembe

    The Arts Council of Bradley Beach presents an Afternoon of acoustic original music hosted by Sea & Sky Songwriters (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I have to tell you, there's nothing like the music scene at the Jersey Shore. From big artists to those just performing for fun, New Jersey is absolutely jam-packed with phenomenal talent. And I've had the pleasure of meeting so many of these local artists over the past two years while broadcasting our summer shows in Asbury Park. From musicians, to artists, and even magic, the amount of talent here in New Jersey is by far incredible. Some of us have stayed in contact over the past couple years
