    Action Packed Weekend!

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 6.24.2022 By Judy Brenna Catering and Special Events Director, The Deauville Inn If you attended the 5th Annual Burger Bash at Golden Nugget last Saturday there is a probability factor that you may still be in the grips of a food coma, so you may not have a chance to read this. Just to put in perspective, The Deauville Inn’s sister location, Yesterday’s Creekside Tavern (located at 316 Roosevelt Blvd in Marmora), competed at

    Blast at The Raceway!

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 6.17.2022 By Judy Brenna Catering and Special Events Director, The Deauville Inn Totally unrelated and unnecessary fact about The White and Black Horse Pikes, because, you know, #historynerd, and I can, so why not? The White Horse Pike, first known as White Horse Road, ran from Camden to the White Horse Tavern in the small hamlet of White Horse on the Old Egg Harbor Road. In 1855, state legislators incorporated the Camden an

    June Is Busting Out All Over

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 6.10.2022 By Judy Brenna Catering and Special Events Director, The Deauville Inn Hi there. Ok, let’s try this again. I wrote an article last week. The first one in a long time. Going on about how I’m back, and all that jazz, and like a ding dong I never posted it. Such is life! So, I will recap really quick ((screen goes all squiggly setting the stage for a flashback)). Picture it, Strathmere, NJ! The day is June 3rd, 2022.

    Makai Brings Polynesia to The Jersey Shore!

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 1.28.2022 By Judy Brenna Catering & Special Events Director | The Deauville Inn This last Monday was a pretty exciting day for us at The Greater Atlantic City Concierge Association. We had our annual dinner to kick off the new season, and to swear in new and existing board members. I, for one, am extremely grateful that our existing president, Jeanine Osendowski, will be continuing in the position, along with almost every ot

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 1.21.2022 By Judy Brenna Catering & Special Events Director | The Deauville Inn The beloved winter tradition is BACK, finally, after a hiatus, due to something that rhymes with Shmovid ((I’m convinced now that if you even whisper the actual word it invokes a new variant)). I cannot tell you how truly excited I am about this! As you well know, I am an avid fan of all things comfort-food-oriented. And this event is THE event t

    2021 Year End Review

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 12.31.2021 By Judy Brenna Dear Diary, What a year, am I right? I find it hard to not reflect on the tremendous changes we experienced, some not so hot, some pretty amazing ((as I hear Tito from Dirty Dancing whispering in my ear, “Lots of changes, Old Max, lots of changes”.)) And I’m not just talking about me. I remember this time last year, sitting at the very same spot on my couch ((same spot in the living room, very diffe

    Business Spotlight: The Carisbrooke Inn

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 12.10. 2021 By Judy Brenna, The Deauville Inn As most of you may know by now, I am an avid fan of all things “history”. Some people view history as a boring and unimportant subject, I distinctly remember some fellow classmates always grumbling when it was time for history class. Not me. It was my most favorite part of the day. Well, that and gym… KIDDING. But seriously, I always loved history classes. When I was on bed rest

Regardless, it’s the holiday season ((confetti cannons blasting simultaneously))! There is a lot going on this year, and it’s important to add, NOW is the time to start planning.

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 11.26. 2021 By Judy Brenna Catering & Special Events Director | The Deauville Inn Last weekend I had the greatest time, going on Chef Joe Massaglia’s Table for Two on WOND Radio, speaking on behalf of the Greater Atlantic County Concierge Association ((GACCA REPRESENT!!) and The Deauville Inn. It was such a great time I thought I’d share it with all of you. If you don’t know who Chef Joe Massaglia, you are 1000% missing out

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 11.19. 2021 By Judy Brenna Catering & Special Events Director | Deauville Inn When we approach a major holiday, I know I always say it’s my favorite. I’m aware. I’m just so overjoyed for celebration in general that when we near a specific holiday it automatically becomes my favorite. But in all honesty, I truly love Thanksgiving. And no, not just because of the rivers of turkey gravy and mountains of carbs I can consume, or

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 11.12. 2021 By Judy Brenna You know, our visit the other week to Stockton University Atlantic City Campus to meet with Hospitality Guru, Donna Albano ((“AC Gems Rediscovered” available in the GACCA Blog archives)) got me thinking. Yes, it’s true, prehistoric NJ was a vast and lush swamp, chockful of minerals and good stuff plant life still to this day love to feed off to thrive. And that is specifically why our state is famo

    Atlantic City Gems Rediscovered

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 11.5. 2021 By Judy Brenna The theme for today is “perspective”. Sometimes we forget what’s right under our noses. Like when you’re searching all over the house for your car keys, shouting expletives along the way, only to realize 20 minutes later you had them in your right hand the whole time. Or like the Stockton University Atlantic City Campus. When I worked in Atlantic City, I drove past the Stockton AC Campus every singl

Ok, ok, fine, that’s Xanadu, and also, and most importantly, people should absolutely dare to go to Water Dog. Water Dog, in its true form, is “Craft Casual” meets “New York Deli”, also the hottest new venue in AC, and it is, as Bill and Ted would say, most excellent.

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 9.24.2021 By Judy Brenna And just like that ((snaps fingers)) Summer 2021 is over. Cornstalks and “Hello Fall!” signs are popping up all over and humans are salivating for everything pumpkin spice. It’s the time of year when every product known to mankind comes out with pumpkin spice whatever, from beverages and desserts to air fresheners, toilet paper, canned ham and chapstick ((insert severe eye roll emoji here)).

    Cheap Eats and Where to Find Them!

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 9.17.2021 By Judy Brenna Back when I was doing the whole stereotypical “struggling student turned actor in New York City” stint, the option of going out to grab a bite was a bit of a unicorn event. I mean, sure, I would stop at the corner store and grab a plain bagel and black coffee at Habib’s ((Hi Habib!)) on the way in to school or work ((back when high carbs and no fat was a thing… insert severe headache inducing eye rol

    Resurgence of Speakeasies

    Atlantic County Magazine – GACCA Article Print Date 9.3.2021 By Judy Brenna As a self-proclaimed history nerd, I sometimes look back and reflect on some of the biggest blunders in human history, like Prohibition. “Alcohol is the root of violence”, they said. “Alcohol will get you a one-way ticket to Satan’s front door”, they said. When the congressmen and senators were perched atop Capitol Hill, they had this glorious idea of how they were going to make this country a better
