Today’s edition of Red Bank oRBit finds us wandering the streets of the downtown and Left Bank biz districts, guided only by the star called Red Bank RiverCenter, as the promotional partnership plots the second in a monthly series of Third Thursday shopping events.
Here in the Jersey Shores favorite beach-free destination, its a way of pushing the envelope of the summer season well beyond Mach with in-store discounts and dining specials (of which weve got the updated details) plus a slate of Street Life-style live entertainment (of which classically trained soprano songthrush Carly McIlvaine, pictured here, is a returning favorite).
Turning the corner, we wind up at Sunday, where RiverCenter and St. James School join forces for the first-ever Taste of Red Bank event. Its a pay-one-price, self-guided tour through the small-world smorgasbord that is the boroughs culinary streetscape and weve got a full rundown of the 30 participating purveyors of foodstuffs for all you galavanting gourmets.
Finally, we take it down to Asbury town, where the salty old city plays host to not one but two vintage proto-punk bands in the coming nights the always intriguing New Model Army from the UK, and the forever young Youth Brigade from the LA. Theres even a special screening of the Brigades documentary Let Them Know this evening, and youll read all about it, provided youre pointed at Red Bank oRBit!
