RED BANK: Doldrums? Not for tastebuds. Retail Churn reports on two new restaurants, a new ice cream shop, a makeover and two departures.

RED BANK: With its effervescent 1950s vibe and old-school diner menu, Fizz Soda Fountain bubbles to life on Monmouth Street.

RED BANK: A landmark, century-old building in the heart of downtown, with two long-vacant upper floors, wins approval for four spacious apartments.

RED BANK: Sub shop to be replaced by Fizz Soda Fountain, featuring an old-school soda dispenser, shakes and malts.

Red Bank Sub Shop was full of pleasant surprises from the good sandwich combinations, to the soda selection but mostly it was the quality of the Italian sub that will have us returning to the Monmouth Street sandwich shop.
