Where to go to be in the know...about travel
A New Jersey local newspaper dubbed Red Bank as ‘hip city’ because it’s a town that has everything. It’s a great restaurant meca, has interesting shops for browsing and buying, excellent entertainment, exclusive hotels, and it’s right on the beautiful Navesink River.
The Garden State Parkway, south from Cape May, N.J. to Hohokus and north through the center of the state is a scenic way to travel through New Jersey. This time of year, shore traffic on the Parkway heading towards the south, is now diminished, and bumper-to-bumper traffic won’t be back until spring 2012. It’s a great time to get on the road and see parts of New Jersey that you haven’t seen. Fall is definitely the time to take to the beach.
They moaned, they groaned, they dragged their bodies along the ground. Some of the living dead even posed for pictures. This year’s Zombie Walk on Asbury Park’s boardwalk drew record-breaking crowds, clogging up the exit off the Garden State Parkway and all other arteries leading to the beach. Under a bright blue sky, with the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop, blood, guts, and gore were the main themes of the day.
Hotel packages and meal coupons are on the website. There is so much for families to enjoy, you’ll wish you could stay longer.
Merrily we go to Little Laura’s House, Uncle Roosters, Grandpa Joe’s, Baker Creek, and the greenest Hilton hotel in Springfield MO.
Zombies, the Undead, what I call ‘cool ghouls’, strut their stuff this weekend. The event will be held on October 21, 22 and 23rd, starting at the Convention Center on the boardwalk of Asbury Park, New Jersey. Starting at exactly 5 PM on Saturday evening, the Zombies will come out of the Convention Center on Asbury Park’s boardwalk. Cookman Avenue will be blocked off where a stage will be erected to host a variety of musical acts.
