There’s lots of fun to be had on the Jersey Shore this summer and Atlantic City has plenty to offer. The casinos are open, along with the beach, and the Boardwalk. Jersey Joe and his friends hang out at a beach bar and bring you all the happenings in this special rebroadcast of a live web show.
THE 411
What: Atlantic City
Where: New Jersey
Year Founded: 1894
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
Atlantic City may have lost 4 casinos, but there’s more going on in town than just gambling. The city continues to add additional attractions to bring the fun back to the shore. It’s kind of neat to see the city in the state of transformation, as more attractions are added. They just need to settle the mess with the Revel casino and fix that black eye.
Have you ever visited AC? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Jersey Joe checks out the fun side of New York City’s playground, Coney Island in this fun video quiz!
Coney Island was settled by Dutch settlers in the 17th century. It became a popular beach and amusement park area starting in the 19th century. Once air and auto travel became more affordable, Coney Island lost it’s luster as city dwellers were able to visit other, more far off locals. After falling into disrepair during the 1980’s, Coney Island has made a major comeback with the opening of Luna Park, more rides, restaurants, beach bars. and independent attractions.
THE 411
What: Coney Island
Where: part of Brooklyn, New York City
Founded: 17th century
Population: 60,000 residential
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
One of my favorite places for fun in New York City. Despite having a bad reputation and becoming downright dangerous years ago, Coney Island has been cleaned up and is once again, an exciting place for both friends and families.
Make sure you check it out, whether you’re a local or a tourist on vacation. After all, it’s the birthplace of the hot dog!
