Red Bank, New Jersey

On the high bluff overlooking the Navesink River, Red Bank offers a variety of cultural, shopping and gastronomic experiences. Where once coastal steamers carried passengers as well as Garden State produce to market in New York, Red Bank today is a mecca for shoppers who are looking for a real downtown. Red Bank’s downtown offers upscale retail boutique shopping in busy blocks of stores in buildings renovated to their once new elegance. NJ Monthly Magazine called Red Bank, "Hip-Town" a few years ago and the town does a fine job of living up to the name. Downtown rocks!

Red Bank is also known as “mini Wall Street” due to its large number of brokerage and investment firms. Off the main drag, Broad Street, the Arts & Antiques Districts beckons collectors to the many soho-style antique shops along the leafy streets.

Street fairs, film festivals, performing arts theaters, world-class art galleries, 4-Star restaurants and cozy coffee shops all contribute to Red Bank’s allure as a destination for day-trippers or those who need more time. Waterfront parks, a full service marina, two top rate hotels, tennis courts and the newly expanded Riverview Medical Center are all within easy walking distance of downtown.
