The Molly Pitcher Inn image.hospitalityonline.com/e/2035/2035932.jpg
Red Bank, New Jersey is is located in the Borough in Monmouth County and the name
"Red Bank" is attributed to the red soil throughout the area। Is a great Destination for a day or weekend trip। Red Bank offers the traveler gourmet shops and coffeehouses, delightful cafes, specialty shops and a lively nightlife। The out door activities include Boating, sculling, sailing, and fishing and in the winter, ice boats sail on the frozen Navesink। The Monmouth Boat Club, Marine Park, and the slips of The Molly Pitcher Inn provide access to the Navesink and, from there, the Atlantic Ocean.
If you're staying overnight the historic Molly Pitcher Inn is a great hotel with a wonderful restaurant and bar. Rates start at $100.00 per night I suggest you ask for a waterside room, because the view of the Navesink River is spectacular. It is wonderful to relax by their pool and take a swim where you can enjoy the view of the harbor. If they are booked you can also try the luxurious Oyster Point Hotel and Conference Center starting at $110/night which is located right down the road. If you need a taxi Yellow Car Company is great and its only costs $3.35 for a five Minute ride which is all it will take to get you into town if you don’t want to walk. When in town walk down Broad Street it is lined with luxury boutiques and department stores including the infamous "Garmany" of Red Bank Department Store. You will also Tiffany & Co., who opened a 6,000-square-foot boutique on Broad Street next to Garmany.
Hungry? There are lots of great places to try. Ashes Steak House & Cigar Club is one of my favorites. They allow indoor smoking and offer a wide array of fine cigars. They offer great steaks and have a wonderful seafood raw bar. The cheese plate is great there if you want to pick on something at the bar. To drink… the Bloody Mary’s are to die for and they also have a great selection of seasonal fresh fruits infused in vodka.
Italian is great at Buona Sera. They have a great wine list and a wonderful décor. The Melting Pot is a fun romantic place to go. The seating is very private each couple gets a private booth with their own stove to cook their fondue on. They have a wonderful menu that you can choose from an array of different combinations for fondue. This place is romantic, fun, and very tasty. The night life is fun at Ashes but you should also try RED. This restaurant bar and lounge is great. It is two floors and is cozy and trendy at the same time. In the morning try some of the wonderful coffee shops where you can relax read the paper and enjoy some breakfast.

This spring break destination is perfect for those who are 21 and want to let lose. In Panama City, Florida there are many restaurants, clubs, bars, and hotels to go to.

On the beach you will find people drinking and dancing. There is a lot going on such as free give a ways like Hawaiian tropics sunscreen, t-shirts, and many other things. There are all types of contest going on mini stages along the beach. If you want you can stop in at one of the clubs along the beach because they are opened during they day and have pools with contests, music, and drinking. You find things on the beach ranging from a bull riding machine to full kegs with people doing keg stands! Other things you can do during the day if you want to get away from the beach scene is rent a scooter. There are many places to go to such as seeing some gators at the park or grabbing some lunch and sight seeing.
When night falls and you need to fill your stomach with some food there are many places to go depending what you plan on spending. If you are trying to keep it low cost there is pizza and you can have it delivered to you hotel. But if you would like to try some local food Pineapple Willy’s and Dirty Dicks are a great places to try. Pineapple Willy’s is located on the beach walking distance from the Summit Condominiums. There you can get everything from Jack Daniel’s ribs, fried food including gator bites, salads, and fish. Pineapple Willy’s also has mugs which they serve frozen drinks in and when your done you get to keep the mug. (you will see many people walking around with them on the beach to keep there drinks cold). Another great place to go is Dirty Dicks which has souvenir tee-shirt and glasses with the saying “ I got crabs from dirty dicks”. As the name indicates they have crab on the menu. They have different types of crabs done different ways and of course they have a variety of food for everyone if you don’t like seafood.
After dinner you can hit the bars and clubs. To name a few there is Hammer Head Fred, Coyote Ugly, Spinnaker Beach Club, Harpoon Harry’s, and my favorite Club La Vela. Club La Vela is the largest nightclub in the USA, and is located next store to the Summit Condominiums. You will find many different room to suite everyone’s taste in music. There is a Hip-Hop, and High-Energy Dance in the Thunderdone. Techno in the Underground, night gallery, and in the Galaxy people will find break beats, and progressive house. Live rock takes place in the Rock Arena. Upstairs you will find the Karama Lounge which tends to be less crowded with air conditioning and seating. While up stairs offers a full Sake menu, premium spirits, modern décor you can over look the rock room and the hip-hop room! The list of rooms goes on but one of the many fun rooms is the popular Foam room! This room pumps out thousands of gallons of fun soapy suds for visitors to party in. It's incredibly fun.
Honestly, its hard not to have a great time in panama as long as your safe and don’t get hurt. Make sure you don’t forget to reapply the sunscreen because it easy to forget and you don’t want to be painfully burnt and look like a lobster. Make sure you drink some water along the way drinking in the sun can easily dehydrate you. And finally know your limits don’t drink too much and don’t go off anywhere alone. Have fun and be safe Panama City Beach, Florida is a great place!
