this is a follow up to "what to do in NY?"

I wanted to stop by Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash to pick up my free shirt, but it's a little farther than I thought from Manhattan.

So, if I made the trek to Red Bank for a day, what else could I do?
 
Reminds me of a certain They Might Be Giants tune. Time to sing!

The Edison Museum, not open to the public.
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it.
Folks drive in from out of town
To gaze in amazement when they see it.

Just outside the gate, I look into the courtyard
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm.
Through the iron bars, I see the Black Maria
Revolving slowly on its platform.
In the topmost tower, a light burns dim
A coiling filament glowing within.

The Edison Museum, once a bustling factory
Today is but a darkened cobweb covered hive of
industry
The tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion
in New Jersey

Behind a wooden door, the voice of Thomas Alva
Recites a poem on a phonograph.
Ghosts float up the stairs, like silent moving
pictures:
The loyal phantoms of his in-house staff.
A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt;
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out.

So when your children quarrel
and nothing seems to quell them,
Just tell them that you'll take them to
the Edison Museum.
The largest independently-owned and operated
mausoleum.
 
nj's funny, its free to get in, but they make you pay to leave, thats how they get you

What kind of doing do you want to do? Hanging out doing, or seeing stuff doing?

I mean, you could go cut my Parents' lawn.

But you're probaly thinking of more fun stuff. So...

Sandy Hook (just the beach or the nature preserve thingie), Twin Lights, Monmouth battlefield (revolutionary war), stalk Bon Jovi, I don't know.

I lived there for 27 years, so my tourist-sense is kinda excised.

And it's only about 45 minutes from Manhattan if you take one of the Wall St ferries. 'Course, you'd have to have a rental car waiting for you at the other end...
 
1. Drive over to Teterboro airport and hire a pilot to take you on a sightseeing flight.

2. Drive south to the chemical plants and shoot some stock footage.
 
the shore can be cool. Red Bank is near my favorite surfing spots--Sea Girt and Spring Lake.

I'm kind of luke warm on Red Bank. Yeah, the Secret Stash is there but, then again, I'm not a Kevin Smith fan. Juanito's in Red Bank has some pretty good Mexican food and the Clearview Cinemas in town is a nice place to catch a flick.

Yeah, Red Bank has been "gentrified". Sucks, these days. Used to be fun. (Well, I used to be 16, too.)

Caught the premiere of a film at Clearview last year. Guy shot it on a PD170.

SO glad I got a DVX.
