A Quick Drive:

We would also like to share some of our favorite beach, shopping, and dinning locations just a quick drive away!

• Red Bank is just miles from the Jersey Shore. Although many areas of the Jersey Shore have been damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy, both Seven Presidents Beach and Pier Village Restaurant and Shopping Village, which is located on the beach weathered the storm. (8 miles; ~20 minute drive)
• Pier Village is located along the Jersey Shore, just 8 miles (~20 minutes) from the conference location. Along with a beachfront boardwalk, it hosts a number of specialty boutiques and restaurants. A full list of stores and restaurants, along with their hours, are available on the Pier Village website.
• If you love Rock and Roll, then you will want to check out The Stony Pony, a local concert venue in Asbury Park, NJ just 12 miles from the conference location. This is where local favorite Bruce Springsteen got his start!
• About 15 minutes from the conference location is the Monmouth Mall. This mall has department stores, specialty stores, hair and nail salons, and a food court. For a complete store listing, visit their website. There are a number of dining establishments next to the Monmouth Mall, such as Bobby�s Burger Palace, Chili�s Bar and Grill, T.G.I. Fridays, Joes Crab Shack, and Buffalo Wild Wings, as well as an AMC theater.
