Not gonna lie, this was the main attraction and reason for my visit to the region. It was the one…read morething I wanted to see and made sure it was the last thing I saw on my way out of town. I have been obsessing over Lucy for a bit and needed to make a visit. Guess we can go over the history a bit. Built in 1882, this stands as the oldest roadside attraction in the country. Novelty architecture was used to model this building after Jumbo, the famous elephant from Barnum and Bailey's. Also, to note, Lucy is a boy. Lucy was first known as 'Elephant Bazaar' and used for real estate advertising. When Lucy changed hands around 1887, it went through changes of business type. 1902 brought the Lucy moniker. Through the 20th century Lucy served as a restaurant, business office, and tavern on the business side of things. Supposedly during prohibition the 'eyes' of Lucy would let patrons know if they were open or being raided. It also served as a way to get items into the building without detection. Lucy also served as a home for a time. You can see evidence of this when you visit. There are markings on the walls inside that would tell you they added a floor to add rooms. You can also look into an area that is one of the legs where they added a bathtub. Small, but pretty cool. In the 1960s Lucy started to fall into disrepair. Because of this Lucy was slated for demolition, but in 1970 they fought and saved the building. In fact, Lucy had to be moved from its original spot to its current spot. Then fundraising started to restore the building. Speed up to today. I stopped by on my way out of the area for my visit. I got here early and was worried that I might be ticketed or towed if I had stayed parked in the spots immediately in front of Lucy. I decided to park on the street, plenty of parking there without the threat of towing. Currently you have to visit a building across the street to purchase a ticket for admission and this is where the gift shop is. Tours of the inside happen roughly every 45 minutes starting at opening. You go up as a group and get a guided tour. Take it from me, a tour from a local is better than one you might get from part time employee that is a teenager. Our tour guide was amazing and gave us so much interesting information. They give you the details about the time it was a residence and the prohibition thing. Once you see the inside and get all the lowdown on it, you get to venture up to the howdah. This is the carriage portion of Lucy. From here you get some great views of the area. You see the beach and ocean, water tower with Lucy on it, and the condo building that necessitated the move of Lucy. You are basically walking on glass up here too. Although you cannot see through the glass. There is so much care in this building. They recently finished recladding the exterior of the building and plan to do more here in the coming months and years. Give Lucy a visit if you are in the area and explore and very unique building. With that, review 4,100!

She also explained the types of fish caught in the area and they also would see porpoise and some whales. Great night at Ventnor City Fishing Pier. Also, a block away was St. John's by The Sea - very nice, well kept church

This building is mice-infested. The garage is crumbling.

The city mandated scaffolding because bricks fell off the exterior. Roaches are minimal but show up every now and then. Excrement seeps from ceilings from aged pipes. Unreliable, often malfunctioning elevators. Sewage odor in the lobby and elevators. Heat is turned off May 1st regardless of the weather and without warning if you are a tenant (vs. owner). The building likely cannot pay its bills, making maintenance and monitoring of security and fire systems a concern. Trash shoots do not meet fire codes. Basement/lower level of the garage floods. Lighting in stairwells is spotty. Pool has been closed since on/about 2005, with most likely a compromised deck. Did I mention the building is FULL OF MICE? The laundry room is nice. It's probably a third-party amenity provider.

The new nightclub, WAV, was open that night. I had no interest in clubbing, but noticed an email offering free and discounted cover. About a dozen people sat around Monkey Bar. A sign said that the dueling piano bar would be open at 10pm. Everything else appeared closed. Garces is no longer handling the catering. The website sucks so I don't know what the deal with the T Street food is. It should have been a lively, hot scene rather than a desolate ghost town. I'd love to be proved wrong with this review update, but for now I won't be holding my breath.

I went to the soft grand opening for this place held on the Thursday prior to the grand opening…read more My overall feeling about this place is meh. ...meh. They offered sample sizes of some of the food they plan to offer and it was nothing to write home about. In fact so much so that I'll leave the food details at just that. It's what I expect to be overpriced pub food (price list or menu wasn't given to us) and with several locations it didn't feel as if any actually offered a variety of food. Pub, pub, everywhere. The concept is there but T Street offers no form of originality that makes it worth going to in place of similar places. In fact, with the location in a mall I actually felt that the venue and placement was a bit awkward. While there is no place quite like it in Atlantic City I don't find that it'll be a location to really drive in visitors. Let's face it, AC is a dying city and well in need of attractions to bring tourists and money back into the area. Perhaps when it's completely finished it will better represent the vision. I personally felt the venue was one-dimensional and for the amount of space could've offered a greater variety of music/food to fit various preferences. For now, I can say the live music is a nice addition. In some places it was played so deafeningly loud that it was difficult to really sit, eat and converse if that's what you chose to do. However, If that's your scene you'll likely enjoy it but its also worth noting that the majority of music was country/bluegrass. The drinks were okay. There were no specialty drinks/menu offered but the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable at preparing classics. As of right now this is not on my must do list for when I visit AC and doubt it will ever be. However, I will be fair and return when the venue is completely finished and possibly update my review.

I found this studio a few months ago when I decided to reinvent my July 24th for 2025. Last year on this day in 2024 I had surgery to remove the extra skin after losing 165lbs from 311.5lbs and the surgery I came home and unfortunately started bleeding internally and had to go back to the ER for additional surgery in total I lost 4 pints of blood and needed a transfusion. That day I spent most of the day stressed, panicked, unconscious/ in surgery for 10 plus hours unsure of what came next. I knew this year on July 24th I was gonna seize the day and do stuff relaxing and rejuvenating. This yoga session targeted stretching and zen through the class . There was a point where she mentioned to let go of the stuff that's behind us and release it and leave it at the beach. That moment felt great to really zone in the waves and everything at the shore to move past last year. The instructor was very attentive and made sure everyone understood each pose and directed us when to breathe. This was everything I needed for today, the beach setting and the yoga/zen. Beginners or advance levels can take this class. Thank you!

The jitneys were to run continuously from Icona in Diamond Beach to Reeds in Stone Harbor from 5pm to 10:30pm. (1) The jitneys arrived on time and early, and both were running while waiting for the first bus to fill. As it left, myself and guests on the jitney noticed it was not cool and asked the AC to be turned up. The driver, who barely spoke English, mentioned it was as high as can be, and because of the heat we needed to wait for it to cool down. Needless to say, it did not. As I and my guests got off the jitney, we were drenched in sweat because the AC never worked. I called the office and they assured me nothing was wrong and things would be fine. It never got better and the jitney never cooled down. (2) The continuous run between locations did not happen. One group of guests sat on the jitney at Icona for an hour waiting for the driver to leave, arriving to the event an hour and a half late because the driver wound not leave. (3) The AC Jitney Association culminated with the jitney that had the AC problem breaking down on the ride back to Icona at the end of the night. My guests were stranded on the side of the road for an hour waiting for the 2nd jitney to come get them. Police had to move the jitney to the side so it would not block traffic on a Friday evening. I contacted AC Jitney Association that night, the next day, and through email the week after the event and the problems, and NO ONE ever contacted me back. I paid $1000 for 2 jitneys, and only 1 was serviceable. No response from the company at all. I should have had the credit card company block payment, but I acted too late. Needless to say this experience will should be known to others who think they are contracting with a reputable company ... they are NOT, at least in my experience.
