So grab some ribs and then tickle your ribs with the latest Apatow flick. I don’t have much more to say. Just go.
Remember:
Swish and dish, baby. Don’t just take it to the house, dine out at Dish in Red Bank. Double pump to double the deals during the week. Drop dimes elsewhere. Drop nickels here.
Put a little post on your toast and get the most out of Dish, self proclaimed “a restaurant.” Their identity is clear, and their deals are even clearer.
The Atlantic Highlands Harbor boasts a variety of boats–Yachts on route to exotic destinations (not Atlantic Highlands), Fishing vessels readying their journey for the day’s catch, Jimmy’s first dingy, and Dad’s power boat. On a warm, summer evening, my family and I would walk down the planks, lick our ice cream, and enjoy this scene of boating bliss. It was heaven.
Since then, Dairy Queen has closed, and I have realized that drinking can be a nice past time as well. So check out the harbor, then head over to the Harborside Grill to reminisce about the days when you walked with your family, mint chocolate chip cone in hand.
Don’t be fooled by the marquee of One28 Bay. You will not find the latest showing of March of the Penguins here (Thankfully). If it’s dinner and brew you crave, this restaurant/bar in disguise can still provide a blockbuster.
Try One28 Bay– it might make your day. And ask for Rebecca, one of the sweetest bartenders around. If you are nice, she might tell you her secret Sangria recipe too (in Arabic).
If it’s a movie you still want, check out Clearview Cinemas in Red Bank.
Whether you call it off the hook or at the moment,“off the bridge,” this Highlands porch on a perch is still off the chain. Civil engineering may have disrupted the traffic patterns, but it has not stopped the flow of Sangria (the best my dad proclaims).
Take a break from a long day at the beach, grab your beer of choice and watch your government dollars at work.
This bridge was certainly shovel ready, but are you ready for the deals?!
Some gypsy jacked my stellar blue/green Mongoose mountain bike when I was in 6th grade. That moment still haunts me to this day– dad talking to the law; the law patting me on the head as tears began to flow from my cheeks. To say the least, this little Dr. in residence was quite sad. I mean, my dad eventually bought me a sweeter bike, but those days on the Mongoose were unforgettable. Don’t let this happen to you kids. Stock up on bikes.
Start by going to Murray MacGregor’s and winning one on Sundays.
Ride on
Without fail, there is always a pretty, brunette taking reservations at the Quay front desk. My friend was convinced that she was the most beautiful thing on the planet. She was gorgeous.
He decided to tell her that and proceeded to give her my number. What a guy. You may think this story is lame and has no relevance. You’re right. But for kids who watch Weeds and blog all the time, it was a big deal– we did it. We tried to flatter a girl; we climbed Mt. Eve(b)rest.
I will probably end up redoing this post. But for those lucky ones, you got a little glimpse into my struggling love life. Now here are some deals ya filthy animal.
The hostess never called me. But seriously, if anyone’s interested, I’m a good time.
This place is like the Wonderland of deals–young, fun, a little zany, and full of riddles. Like, who is that guy who is always having more fun than anyone else on Tuesday Karaoke nights? It is inspiring.
Basically, The Hatter is the summer place to be. With a backdoor bar, main, indoor bar, and a family dining room to the side–the Mad Hatter accommodates all. Find your deals, find your friends, and find all the other local bartenders taking a reprieve from their hard night’s work. In today’s economy, taking a break at The Hatter keeps us all from going a little mad.
I think there are more deals. I’ll return. Anyone know for sure? Anyone have any silly stories from the Hatter?
Another staple by the sea, the Ocean Avenue Grill has a new chef and a new event on Tuesdays — a Magician. And his name is Kurt. Honestly, where can you find a magician anywhere around here? Especially the kind who can bust aces out of his torso or pull a beer out of his hat. I was so excited by the prospect of a Magician, I almost forgot about the deals. Let me conjure some up for you now.
