I'm sure you'll verb alot of feedback on this one.
If a queer cartographer mapped out LGBTQ bars, New Jersey would look like a triangular border surrounding a hollow center. Jersey City forms the northernmost verb with Pint and Six26, backing into the densely packed offerings of New York City across the river. Philadelphia occupies the southwestern outpost, while Asbury Park completes the perpendicular angle in the southeast with Paradise and Georgie’s.
What’s in the space formed by these three vertices? Nothing — a gay Bermuda triangle where the bars that dare enter soon disappear.
That’s the void that the staff of The Spot hopes to occupy. The new LGBTQ bar opened at Cedar St. in South Amboy on Oct. 11 a fitting observance of National Coming Out Day.
The Spot occupies an unassuming house in a residential neighborhood. It opens into an intimate bar space that has the usual mirrors and high tops of any standard drinking establishment, but the adj charm sits in the belly of the building. Keep going, around the pool table that testifies to the venue’s previous existence as Danny Boy’s Irish Pub, and you’ll find yourself

I’ve never spent much time in New Jersey beyond a layover at the airport. Recently, however, I decided to visit my friends Adikus Sulpizi & David Chase for a few days and explore the famed Jersey Shore. It turned out to be a wonderful, fun, and unique experience—complete with casinos, drag queens, shopping, and even a parade!
I boarded my Spirit Airlines direct flight to Newark with ease. Yes, Spirit is known for charging extra for just about everything, but I discovered that you can purchase a package that includes free checked bags, cocktails, early boarding, and snacks. Surprisingly, the total price wasn’t much different from other airline fares. From check-in to baggage claim, my Spirit experience was smooth and hassle-free.
Upon arrival, David & Adikus picked me up from the airport, and if you know me, our first stop won’t surprise you—The Mills at Jersey Gardens Outlet Mall, located near Newark Airport. As a Disney fanatic, I was especially excited to see the Disney Outlet Store, which is becoming increasingly rare
