Hi! I recently moved to the north side of Tinton Falls. What are the best places to walk that feel semi scenic or atleast free of car traffic? Not necessarily looking for a hike, more just designated walking paths or areas. Parks, boardwalks, work as well!

I’ve been selected to be a juror in a case that might take the rest of the month. I’m gonna need to switch it up. I’ve got an hour for lunch so no fancy sitdowns. What are the best places for a quick tasty meal that won’t leave me feeling tired, greasy, or gassy.

hey can folks who live or lived here chime in - I just moved and feel out of my element. I have old white men on both sides of me watching my every move, even saying which door I should use- even telling my dad which door. lmao just totally bizarre and odd behavior. I feel like I just moved to a bad block but I feel sick over it. are there any young ppl here?? or is it mostly a Christian cult here?? I feel like people just watch and judge and I’m just a boring non practicing white girl. I’m not used to being watched so carefully. I don’t have parties and am respectful so I don’t understand. I am straight but an ally of the lgbqt community and just found out there is a high concentration of gays here - what area of town?? I‘m guessing I’m on the opposite side. I have just really struggled to find people here and it’s not what I expected to happen so I’m horrified. sorry this is such a weird post 😂

Moved to Monmouth county four years ago with my husband and still struggling to find some friends. I’ve tried the silent book club of Monmouth county and volunteering for an animal rescue. Still haven’t found “my people” and feeling a little lonely. Any advice of other clubs or the like to meet other females in their 30s?

Hi - Am looking to buy a home in Cranford.

Google Maps says 1hr from the Cranford station to Newark Penn station, to then xfer to the Path train to Wall St.

I am reading some posts here, as well as FB, of the train being very unreliable with delays being the norm rather than the exception - how true is this? Is the 'delay' 10min or 30min? Is it 1x/week or most days?

Also reading that the 113 bus goes from Cranford to Newark Penn station in 45min, of course then the Path xfer, hoping to still be about 1hr to Wall St - anyone go the bus route?

I would be looking to get on the train (or bus) by about 615am, if that helps.

Thanks much for any info you can provide.

Elder Millennial that still hasn’t bought a home… currently renting (and grew up) in Middletown area. Just completely over losing home after home in Middletown after we bid +$80K more than asking to someone from Brooklyn. What’s everyone’s take on buying in Howell? Freehold is as far as I frequent in that neck of the woods. Housing market doesn’t seem nearly as crazy… Are we in for a shock? Schools? QOL? Thanks in advance

Cause I’m sick and fucking tired of stop and shop in Middletown consistently making me wait and fucking up my meds tbh. Thank you!

Are there ANY coffee shops that don’t charge $8 for a cup of crud?

It’s really egregious when you get a plain latte that tastes like absolutely nothing without the addition of syrups, and nearly $10 at that. The cheapest non chain latte I had was $5, and I couldn’t even finish half way through.

This seems like a first world problem, and it is. But where is the tipping point?

Anyone have any opinions or stayed here? In town for work and this is the spot they’re putting me. Haven’t seen it yet lol

Looking to find new spots to explore and try.

My personal new favorite is Cornerstone in Red Bank!! Excellent gourmet market, sandwiches, lots of prepared foods, and high end catering. (Truly a gem)

Any other spots you suggest to check out?? Love finding new quality spots

Hello! My husband and I (early 30s no kids yet) are looking at homes in Red Bank and Middletown. Curious to hear pros/cons from anyone that has done a similar move. Excited for more space and a yard for our pup but scared to leave city living.

I have my county card and love all of the county courses. What else in our area is worth playing? OK if expensive.

New to the Monmouth County area and looking for workout studio recommendations .

I’m into mat pilates, sculpt, cardio + weights, etc. Coming from the city where there was a ton of variety, so trying to find some good spots locally.

What are your favorite studios/classes in the area? Any Barry’s-style workouts nearby or studios with a similar vibe/energy?

Also curious if there are any workout concepts or class styles you feel the area is missing.

I live in Atlantic Highlands and I can’t find a good car wash within 10 miles of my house. I used to go to Frankie’s in Bloomfield when I lived up north but can’t find any full service places that are as good.Any recommendations?

Hello, I need a few parts replicated for an IKEA storage unit. Anyone have any recs for local printers?

My one Mother’s Day weekend wish was to sit on the beach and read a book. Looks like we’re getting rained out Saturday. What places with a beach view would you recommend for a drink and reading at the bar or a table?

A but of a niche post but I've played steel tip darts for over a decade and travel to NYC occasionally to play in league and would like to find place a bit closer to play. The only bar that I know of in NJ is Rock Bar in Clifton (those guys drive in to compete).

Everything down here is Widdy (paper board with wooden body darts) and is very specific to this region; My buddies always have a confused look on their faces when I explain it to them. Recently Belford Brewery put in a proper steel tip board in their new space but aside from that, I feel like I'm pretty much SOL when it comes to finding places to play and host leagues.

How would I go about getting rid of a table. Pretty sure it’s too big and heavy for bulk pick up. Any ideas? I don’t have Facebook or a truck or anything.
