One of the calmest and less crowded beaches you will find by the Jersey shore…read more The waters by this shore are not the cleanest and come with lot of weeds and bugs on them and I can't rate this place a star or two less for that. Who am I to rate Nature after all? :P Being a photographer I enjoy photographing wildlife and there's plenty of opportunities to click seagulls here. The parking here is a challenge and comes paid like most of the NJ beaches. But they have nice ramps built for the physically handicapped which is marvelous.

I usually bring a 2 yr old, 8 yr old, and 70+ yr old. ALL of us have a great time at Union Beach. Packing list for a fun day! Picnic blanket (Easy to clean or wash!) Snacks (there are no vending machines etc) Water Beach umbrella for littles (or cover up with long sleeves, hats, & sunblock) Folding chair for elderly Plastic Baskets for each person to collect shells/rocks Sand toys etc Bathrooms are only port a potties - so we never stay long enough to use bathrooms. Keep trips short to 1-2 hrs and you'll be fine!

I went to the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble in Holmdel this morning and I felt like I should write…read morethis review. I was there when they opened April 24. I bought a cappuccino. After starting to drink it... I realized that this is the one of the worst cups of coffee I had ever attempted to consume. The barista had over over over frothed the milk and it literally tasted like butter. It was gross and not drinkable. I waited in line again and I said "this coffee isn't very good. May I please have a black iced coffee instead?" (This is the simplest easiest drink I could think of. I didn't want to trouble her.). She replies... "what's wrong with it?" Me... "it tastes like a stick of butter" Her..."it's supposed to taste that way. It's frothed milk." Me... "No it's not. I have made and drank many cappuccinos and they are not supposed to taste like a stick of butter. I literally can not drink this." Her... "whatever sir... they are supposed to taste like that...but if you want something else, I'll have to give to you a refund." Me... "the iced coffee and the cappuccino are the same price... does that matter?" Her..."sir. Don't be rude. I'm trying to help you." Then she mumbles under her breath... "I'm not dealing with this shit today." Me... "ma'am why are you being so rude? I can obviously hear you mumbling." Her...again..."I'm trying to help you sir. Go wait over there" Then... she mumbles under her breath more... Makes me an iced coffee with so much ice she can't even put the lid on... and basically throws it at me. I am a regular customer at Starbucks in Long Branch. I worked in food service for 2 decades and have owned restaurants. I am the most polite coffee customer imaginable and this woman was just an awful person to deal with in every way. The coffee was really bad too. I hope someone in charge there sees this and has a word with her.

So bad we made an account on yelp just to tell yalls how bad this school is. We genuinely do not…read moreknow where to start. Im just going to list everything bad about it 1. No elevators, if you can not get up the stairs, you go to their library and do your upstairs classes virtually. You also are marked absent for all of those classes that you are virtual. Also you can not even where airpods when doing that, someone will give you some horrible earbuds that don't even work with their horrible chromebook. And that brings me to reason number 2 why they are horrible, their tech. 2. The school literally has spyware on your chromebook so teachers can just stalk what you do all the time. Just a tad bit creepy and unnecessary 3. Paying for Saturday detention. Yep, if you get Saturday detention, you also need to pay 15$ to get in. People get these for small things like not having your shirt tucked in or having your phone out for a second. And if you are spotted with your phone, you lose it for 1 whole day and you need to pay to get the phone back+pay to get into Saturday detention. This school says that we should behave like "catholic adults" yet we are treated like total babies. And anything we do that is slightly wrong boom Saturday detention. Even having facial hair.This school is so strict about everything, except one thing that they really should be strict on 4. Literally the most racist and homophobic school possible. And no one on the staff cares. I am not even joking when I say that a teacher got more mad when someone forgot a belt then when someone shouted a slur. I know it sounds like a lie but I promise it is not. This school is a complete joke 5. Deans are a complete joke. Just randomly walking in the hallway to find anyone to yell at. They don't care if that would make someone late to class. They just wanna have some fun. This review was a collaborative effort, written by 2 graduates of sjv, one current senior and one current junior.

At times I've gone up to the counter before collecting mail from the PO Box and they have run over to get it for me , without me asking. They are considerate of their customers. Older looking post office, but kept clean. PO Boxes are probably the original ones but are easy to access. While opening our box I always think how old they are and how many people used it prior. They sell greeting cards, gift cards, packing items, money orders and you can even get cash back from your ATM card. They have their own parking lot, which has handicapped spots if needed. People fly in and out, just be alert.
