Well, he doesn't look like this anymore, but you can still see him for free.

The word on the boardwalk is that MTV’s hooligans have flown the coop to the West Coast to film the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday and a stroll on the boards last night proved their house was dark and empty. If you’re looking to get in some Sleazeside time without the frenzy or the risk of J-Woww punching your lights out, this is the time to do it.

Elsewhere at the shore, dogs will have their day and Mr. Frampton will play a free concert in Asbury Park, you can tap the Rockies at Jenks in Pt. Pleasant Beach or win a trip to Texas at Bar A in Lake Como. Read on: Read the rest of this entry »

Manasquan's most popular beach bar, Leggetts.

If you need an excuse to get rowdy to LMFAO’s summer classic “Shots,” (a song with such deep and meaningful lyrics), then Leggetts in Manasquan is the bar for you.  Every Thursday the bar is packed as everyone crowds around their infamous shot wheel.

Once every hour from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. the live band stops and LMFAO and Lil’John take over the sound waves.  Whatever lucky shot the spinner lands on is then served for the next hour around the bar for just $1.  With options such as Jolly Rancher, Grape Ape, Washington Apple, and Sex on the Beach…you’ll have a wide selection all night long.  It’s a close knit atmosphere where everyone comes together for the one common goal, more shots.

You too can ride in this much style.

So it’s Saturday night and you need a responsible way to reach your favorite watering hole. You have a few options: 1. Recruit a designated driver. 2. Call a cab. 3. Take the train if you’re heading to Point Pleasant or north. 4. Walk. 5. Call a cab.

And yet all those choices seem so boring and tired. Well, we have the perfection solution – call George Hogan, chauffeur extraordinaire. Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, you too can roll up to your nightlife destination of choice in a LIMO. Yes, a limo. Read the rest of this entry »
