- People seeking entrance to the Osprey. Note: no one is in flip-flops. So weird/sad.
With the Fourth now just a faded memory like the smoke that hangs in the sky long after a firework has twinkled away, things can seem a little anti-climactic. However, there’s just two precious months left to savor the sweet summer season and all the outdoor socializing it has to offer – this oppressive heat wave be damned! Put on some shorts, pick up an extra bottle of hair defrizzer, and grab your flip-flops (unless you’re heading to the Osprey – flop ban still in effect. Found out the hard way two weekends ago!), and get out! 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. Read the rest of this entry »

For lifelong beach kids like yours truly, Memorial Day Weekend (MDW for the uninitiated) is better than Christmas. Beach, barbecue, beers, old friends – what’s not to like?

The Osprey in Manasquan has mandated Tivas, hackey sack not required
Manasquan night-life staple The Osprey has outlawed flip-flops beginning tonight, according to an APP staff report. I’m pretty sure this is patently absurd because who doesn’t wear flips in the summer?? I’ve only been to Osprey once and aside from the $10 cover and $7 Bud Lights, it was a pretty good time. But, guess what I was wearing – oh yes, FLIP-FLOPS. So was everyone else I was with and probably 98% of the people there.
