Here you can check out the NJ Event Guide, Restaurant & Lodging Guides, check out information on the many attractions to enjoy. Although summer is over, in June I just got the interactive Jersey Shore Beach Guide added which allows you to search for various beaches along the Jersey Shore and check on beach fees and amenities.
I'm all about New Jersey, forget those three states who border- they have nothing on what we've got right here!
I'm running a website that highlights local music and fun open mic nights in NJ. We're different from other websites because we review all of the events we endorse and are primarily a family-oriented site.
