Just over the bridge from the church (~2 minute drive), there is a small strip of restaurants/bars for you to enjoy. We recommend Tommy's Tavern + Tap or Ocean House Tap and Grill. This is about 20 minutes from the venue.
There are a ton of restaurants and shops on Broad Street in Red Bank! You'll walk by Red Bank Catholic High School - where Matt & Julia met!
Head over to Asbury Park! Some of our favorite restaurants are Brandos, Taka, Porta, and Robinson Ale House! Our favorite bars are Johnny Macs, Watermark, Asbury Ale House, and Asbury Park Biergarten.
Walk around Pier Village! This shopping area is on the waterfront, and there are many restaurants to choose from.
For those extending their stay, we recommend taking a day trip to NYC! Ferries run out of Highlands and Atlantic Highlands daily.
