Jersey Joe explores old, outdated, and weird laws on the sale and consumption of alcohol across the United States.

THE 411

Name: blue laws

What: laws created the keep society at peace

Location: each state has their own unique set of these laws

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Blue laws vary from state to state and also cover a variety of issues.  A non-liquor example in Bergen County, New Jersey forbids several large shopping malls from being open on Sundays.  So, when you travel, be sure you know these restrictions, so you don’t get busted.

A glass of golden hard liquor on the rocks. Could be scotch, bourbon, or whisky.

Does Crystal Pepsi make a good mix with alcohol?  Jersey Joe heads to O’Hara’s Downtown in Jersey City, New Jersey with a taste test challenge!

Crystal Pepsi was originally released after a flashy Super Bowl ad in 1993.  Sales were poor and the beverage was gone in less than a year.  Since then, it has almost gained cult status, and after a social media campaign returned to stores in August for an 8 week run.

THE 411

Name: Crystal Pepsi

What: clear cola reintroduced for a limited time only

Mixed with: rum, vodka, orange vodka

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

It’s really great that the Pepsi corporation has brought this classic soft drink back.  Let me know if you find any other great mixes with Crystal Pepsi.  However, you have to act fast… it’s only back on shelves for a limited time only.  It could go back into the vault for another 20 years!

[Kicking Back with Jersey Joe] One World Observatory

Jersey Joe checks out the observation deck, One World Observatory on top of One World Trade Center in New York City.

THE 411

What: One World Observatory

Where: top of One World Trade Center

Location: New York City

Purpose: observation deck, tourist attraction

Floors: 100-102

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

This is a great tourist attraction in New York City.  I never got to visit the original World Trade Center before it was destroyed, but I’m glad this is open to once again allow visitors a chance to experience the view.

There are a couple of things to remember… first, expect airport style security.  They check everything going in.  It is exactly the same security as you would expect at the airport.  The only difference — you are not required to take off your shoes, but everything else is the same. Hats, jackets, belts… they are all coming off!

Secondly, if you want to visit the bar or restaurant, you must purchase an observatory ticket.  There is no way around this.  So, don’t expect to just ride an elevator for a view just to go to the bar — you’re paying for the full experience.

The World Trade Center area is still a construction site.  As of this post, there are still massive areas of construction and the main transportation hub for the PATH and subways is still not complete.  Expect to find many temporary walkways and partially opened entrances at this time.
