Catch a show at the historic Count Basie Theatre, where legends have performed on the same stage where Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi might be spotted in the audience. The downtown buzzes with boutiques and restaurants that give this small borough the nickname 'Garden State's answer to Greenwich Village.' Wander along the Navesink River at Riverside Gardens Park before diving into the retro gaming paradise at Yestercades. Film buffs might recognize locations from Kevin Smith movies, who filmed 'Chasing Amy' in his hometown. The Two River Theater adds to the cultural punch that earned this place Smithsonian Magazine's nod as America's third-best small town. Time visits with the International Beer, Wine & Food Festival or the Guinness Oyster Festival for maximum local flavor.
