South Jersey's Sober Party Girl

Guyssssss... it's HOT. Like, "walk outside and immediately regret your life choices" hot. The "feels like" temperatures climbed well over 105 degrees across South Jersey, and wow...we definitely felt every single degree of it. Thankfully, I spent a good portion of the week hiding inside with the air conditioning blasting. If there's one thing we all need during a South Jersey heat wave, it's hydration. Mostly water...but I firmly believe a refreshing mocktail deserves a spot in the rotation too. A Hot Day in Wildwood with WMGM Earlier this week, I got to spend the day hanging out with 103.7 WMGM and Corona at The Inlet on Olde in Wildwood. Ironically, as a Corona girl this summer (yes, I hear the jokes), I get to travel up and down the Jersey Shore every Saturday giving away prizes, coolers, swag, and even cash. It's an absolute blast...but it is BUSY. Between talking with listeners, walking the venue, and handing out prizes, I barely have time to e...

  Summer officially showed up in South Jersey this week, and honestly? I’m not mad about it. Between backyard-style parties, waterfront seafood dinners, and more mocktails than I can count, this week felt like the unofficial kickoff to the season. From inland Egg Harbor City to the marshy docks of Galloway, this little adventure reminded me that you don’t need a beach badge to have the perfect South Jersey summer night. My week started at The Inn on St. Louis for the AC Pride May Mixer. My friend Markie, the president of AC Pride , and his incredible team pulled together another event full of good energy, welcoming people, and serious summer BBQ vibes. The outdoor event space at The Inn on St. Louis feels like the ultimate backyard party setup. There’s a BBQ pit, shaded tables, and a trendy shipping-container-style bar serving cocktails, mocktails, and pretty much anything you could want to sip on during a 90-degree South Jersey heatwave. The event included complimentary light bite...

  After weeks of newscasters warning about drought conditions and New Jersey hinting at water restrictions, the rain finally showed up right on cue. April showers are officially here… now if only they could revive the flowers I forgot to plant (and are currently fighting for their lives on my patio). Mexican Madness in Atlantic City 🌮 This week kicked off with one of the most delicious events of the season, Mexican Madness in Atlantic City. Local restaurants went head-to-head, serving up their best Mexican-inspired bites in hopes of claiming the top spot. Now, after my fourth birria quesadilla (no regrets), I couldn’t tell you who officially won, but I can tell you who stole the show for me: Kings Pub came in strong with a fresh tuna tostada that was unexpectedly incredible . Crunchy, salty, fresh; this one lived rent-free in my head for days. JV’s in Pleasantville fueled my birria obsession. I devoured multiple in under two minutes (a personal record), and their staff was jus...
