Im a 32yo male living in Monmouth county. Looking for some local adventure buddies to plan some local outdoor stuff. Maybe fishing, hiking, just hanging in a park. Ive been entertaining the idea of buying a canoe on fb market place the last couple of years, but canoeing alone sounds kind of boring. I have a partner but he is more into video games 🙄. So yeah. Just trying to find more local guys to do outdoor shit with. I used to hike and camp in Harriman State Park, NY, often. But since moving to the shore ive kind of been missing out on nature. Hit me up!

Hi! I have a friend that is a vegan visiting this weekend and I wanted to see what people would recommend for both a vegan/ non vegan option for dinner. My husband and I are not vegan so wanted to find a place that has both options if possible. Thank you!!!!

What is going on out there? What's in peoples' heads? 80 MPH. Driving in tight packs. Changing lanes every 2 seconds. What's the point?

I just chill in the right lane, relaxed as can be, watching all the morons jockeying for imaginary dominance. It's pathetic. I'm so sick of driving during high volume. Absolute madness.

I know, I know. Another driving post. I know, since COVID. Thats fine but does anyone think that folks will learn how to relax behind the wheel and enjoy the ride rather than white-knuckle, heat racing, death-defying, risk taking?

Do you think Netflix’s impact on our housing market is overblown? Everyone I know who is (struggling) looking for a house just says “it’s because of Netflix” but is it? Everywhere you turn someone is saying “it won’t be affordable for long!” But it really hasn’t been affordable for some time now. I’ve lived here my whole life (nearly 40 years) and bought my own place about 6 years ago and the market was chaos then just as is it now. Is it possible people just really want to live here? Especially with our easy connectivity to NYC and so many return to office mandates? Can we really blame the current demand squarely on Netflix? Maybe I’m misinformed or perhaps people just like to blame someone for how hard it is to find a house right now.

Anyone have a recommend for a small group of 17 year olds to play laser tag? We did iPlay like 7 years ago, and I don't remember if it's very 'kiddish' but would love to hear some other recommendations. Ocean county as well. Thank you.

Any thoughts on Port Monmouth? As Middletown and Hazlet get more expensive, we are considering Port Monmouth but are newish to the area so would love some insight 😊

Hi all, I am trying to plan ahead as I will need 2-3 dental implants in the coming months with bone grafts. I was hoping to get some recommendations and pricing since I know this will be an investment. I’m open to anywhere in Monmouth/Ocean area.

Anyone have any suggestions? Dealing with what i think is a nerve problem.

Was at a gathering today and overheard someone saying that Netflix is going around Monmouth County and buying houses to use as film sets. Anybody heard anything about this? Google’s answer was “No, this is not happening,” and there were no articles corroborating this claim.

Why is it so so Smokey?

Looking for ballroom classes for singles or modern, jazz, tap, hip hop

Hi! I recently moved to the north side of Tinton Falls. What are the best places to walk that feel semi scenic or atleast free of car traffic? Not necessarily looking for a hike, more just designated walking paths or areas. Parks, boardwalks, work as well!

I'm hosting my sisters bachelorette in Asbury next Saturday before memorial day. I dont go out much so I know theres tons of options for bars to go to but having trouble deciding which one will be the best bet. My sister likes live music and dancing and definitely would prefer some place not too packed (I know probably difficult to come by on MDW). Doesn't have to be in asbury either we could drive to red bank or point pleasant or belmar too.

Also any daytime activity suggestions if theres any craft fairs or any events going on nearby that weekend you think would be good to hit up!

I am going to visit some friends in England and we have a tradition of bringing unique gifts from the area where we currently live. I recently moved to Long Branch. Any ideas on unique New Jersey gifts I could take to them? Need it to be small and not a liquid or perishable. Any ideas on cute gift shops that feature local artists and crafts?

I’ve been selected to be a juror in a case that might take the rest of the month. I’m gonna need to switch it up. I’ve got an hour for lunch so no fancy sitdowns. What are the best places for a quick tasty meal that won’t leave me feeling tired, greasy, or gassy.

hey can folks who live or lived here chime in - I just moved and feel out of my element. I have old white men on both sides of me watching my every move, even saying which door I should use- even telling my dad which door. lmao just totally bizarre and odd behavior. I feel like I just moved to a bad block but I feel sick over it. are there any young ppl here?? or is it mostly a Christian cult here?? I feel like people just watch and judge and I’m just a boring non practicing white girl. I’m not used to being watched so carefully. I don’t have parties and am respectful so I don’t understand. I am straight but an ally of the lgbqt community and just found out there is a high concentration of gays here - what area of town?? I‘m guessing I’m on the opposite side. I have just really struggled to find people here and it’s not what I expected to happen so I’m horrified. sorry this is such a weird post 😂

I’m (24F) having trouble finding good options for beginner open / drop in hockey in nj. I just finished three sessions of LTP at Le Frak and Chelsea piers and am interested in playing this summer . I see limited options at jersey shore arena and red bank armory. Let me know if you know of stuff !

Moved to Monmouth county four years ago with my husband and still struggling to find some friends. I’ve tried the silent book club of Monmouth county and volunteering for an animal rescue. Still haven’t found “my people” and feeling a little lonely. Any advice of other clubs or the like to meet other females in their 30s?

Cause I’m sick and fucking tired of stop and shop in Middletown consistently making me wait and fucking up my meds tbh. Thank you!
