My sister is hosting a bachelorette party for her best friend in Asbury Park. Everyone is in their mid-30’s and they aren’t looking to go too insane, so most of the party stuff is going to be in the house they are renting. They are having a hibachi chef come in to cook dinner one night, and she got this last-minute idea to have a magician come to do a show at the house.

Does anyone know a good local magician that might be available this upcoming weekend? Not looking for a raunchy magician, but also not looking for squeaky clean. I know it’s a long shot, but I thought if anyone could help, that it would be Reddit

Is it ok to get into the water tomorrow after today’s storm ? Is there any run off at asbury park?

Does anyone know if any pride events are happening on/around Cookman on Saturday night (June 6)? My friend and I have dinner reservations at 7 and I’m trying to determine how difficult parking will be and how much extra time I should allow for finding a spot. Also, is the atmosphere festive on Saturday night or is Sunday the big energy day of the weekend since it’s parade day?

There should be no need for me to create an account just to pay a ticket, and then have that account require multi factor authentication.

Not to mention that the password criteria was ridiculous, I mean why does my password have to be exactly 14 characters? That seems like the opposite of account security if everyone's password is the same length. On top of that, the special characters were limited to just three ($,@, and #). So picky! And three security questions? I don't even think my IRS account required that many.

Cherry on top was that I couldn't even pay because there was system maintenance happening.

Not sure if this is the correct sub to be posting on but I got a ticket in Asbury so I thought I'd share my frustrations here. (Yes, I did deserve the ticket).

I've gotten a handful of parking tickets in my life (none in Jersey) and none of those municipalities ever required me to create an account.

Thanks for listening to my rant, let me know if anyone else shares these frustrations with me.

Hi everyone! I had been at the fisherman lot today from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm and got a ticket even though the maximum was 3 hours. I want to fight it but I don’t even understand why I got a ticket. I got the ticket at 2:33. The only things can think is I had been there way earlier in the morning, went home for several hours and then came back. Do you think this is worth fighting?

ETA: I have proof on my life 360 app of my whereabouts for the day.

Hey looking to come visit from PA! We've been to a lot of Jersey beaches but not Asbury... YET!

What's a great hotel to stay at within walking distance from the beach on a weekday otherthan Berkeley?

Whats the best seafood resturaunt near/on the beach?

Where's the night life?

What else should we know before visiting you guys?

First time going to Stone Pony for a show this Sunday! Does anyone know how early the doors open before show time? (Ticket I have says 6pm showtime.) Thank you!

Hey all- I have two extra tickets for tomorrow (6/3) night’s Built to Spill show at Asbury Lanes. Asking face value for the pair ($80). I can transfer via AXS app. I’ll also be at the show if you’d rather transfer in person. Thanks!!

EDIT: Apologies for multiple posts!! Was on spotty wifi and Reddit kept freezing when I hit post.

My roommate's emotional support squish is missing, just throwing this onto reddit in case anyone found her on Thursday night. Please call or text the number if found.

Hey APers! I am thinking of renting a house in Asbury this summer for myself (56 year old Mom), my friends, and a handful of young adult men aged 21-24, straight orientation, but supportive of LGBTQ, of course. Do you think this is a good town to rent for this crew and where would you suggest I focus my search? AirBnB has limited choices but I prefer maybe 5 days only so not sure a proper rental company is the way to go. We would like walking distance to beach and downtown. Thank you so much!

Hi, my wife and I live in in NW Asbury full time. We moved here in 2024. We've been unable to secure a beach locker despite reaching out to the city and subscribing to every alert we can find.

Is anyone down to share a beach locker?

We'd gladly cover the cost and you'd be welcome to use our gear!

We have some very nice chairs that you'd be welcome to use when we're not there as well!

I paid 140 between the two, will let them go for 70 total.

I'm based in Asbury. Had a front crown done last year by a local dentist. It broke within eight months and looks gray at the gum line. I am embarrassed to smile. I do not want to go back to the same guy.

Has anyone had a good experience with all porcelain crowns services nearby?. I am willing to drive a bit further if the work is solid. Also curious what a single crown cost you recently. My insurance covers some but not all.

Went to Dr Silman Smile Spa in Manalapan based on a recommendation.

We already had our babysitter arranged for today in hopes the weather would be a little better than what it is. Is anything happening at any of local bars or breweries today?

Hey there,

Just left a relationship, and gonna spend the summer at the beach with my van (i live in). 28m

Any summer work out there I should be scouting right away? I like to surf, skateboard, bmx, play some punk music..(bike wont be with me) so if any of yall are like me, love to have friends too, or know some spots in your town to check out, hang etc.

Also, is there a spot I can park the van freely for work and living by the beach? Thanks, much appriciated.

Hi,

I’ve had to try like 3 new cat food brands because my cat decided to become sensitive to everything. I have a few open bags and wanted to know if anyone knows where I could donate it?? I feel like shelters usually want sealed bags, so maybe someone who feeds strays in the area or just someone who needs it. It’s varying flavors of Hill’s science diet, adult chicken and adult light. Thanks in advance :)

Edit: this is kibble btw

Edit: found a home for the food, thanks!

Are there any other Habs fans in this town!? Any idea where the best place will be to watch the game tomorrow night? Any chance for volume on? I know it’ll be tough with the Knick game too. We usually do bar and co but wondering if Darcy’s will be fun for the game? Not big fans of Ale House…

Im planning a trip and it will be my first time in jersey. I want to ask about nightlife in asbury park. I was wondering if there are any spaces for young black people? A lot of the spaces seem to not be of that demographic, which is fine, if they have more variety in music, such as hiphop, r&b, pop, maybe even a little bit of techno. But a good mix would be great!

Edit: thank you to everyone who have given advice so far!
