Down the Shore blogger, Jen Miller, mentioned a Times article that named Wildwood as one of the 50 Authentic American Experiences of 2009. It's nice to see Wildwood get some good press. Get the full list here.

Put your bathing suits on. This year, water temperatures are warmer than normal topping at nearly 70 degrees.

We know what you're thinking. That glass of wine looks mighty good. That's because wine is synonymous with summer. Read on to learn about favorite shore bar drinks and local wineries down the shore.

Why is it that during the season where we bare-all in our bikinis, tank tops, and shorts, it is also the time we want to eat greasy boardwalk food like fried oreos and funnel cake? And pizza and fries and jersey corn and tomatoes and strawberries and... ok, i'll stop. It's a tough life, but somebody's gotta do it. Check out the happenings—food and non-food related—down the shore this weekend:

It feels nice to be writing this post again. That's because it means it's summer. Things are a little different this year. Check out the "News" section and the events organized by region to help make the most of your weekends—as we Philadelphians would say—"down the shore."

It's amazing how much people love the shore. When Memorial Day comes, all you have to do is turn on the local news to see flocks of people crowding the AC Expressway. When you think about it, however, the shore is just a relaxed seaside town with restaurants and shops. Granted some of the towns boast beautiful views of the ocean and breathtaking sunsets. But, for the price of a week in Ocean City, NJ, a family could see the Leaning Tower of Pisa or take a tour of the Mediterranean. But not us. We want our Mack and Manco's and our Kohr Brother's.

When the clock inches towards five on a Friday, this Phillyist likes to say she'll be going down the shore. But many might say they are going "to the beach" or "to the ocean." According to Urban Dictionary, the term "down the shore" is used mostly by us Philly folks. Regardless, Phillyist believes that wherever you go this weekend—the beach, the shore, or the seaside—you should make it a great one.

We're not sure how you feel about it, but as far as we can tell gas prices and the horrible economy haven't deterred anyone from going down the shore. The beach is the place to be. Here’s what’s going on this weekend.

In anticipation of my vacation next week, I have decided to share some of my favorite Jersey Shore memories in small salt water taffy like bites (if you buy two pounds of fudge you’ll get a box of my memories for free!)

Nothing quite says summer like the foods we eat: ice cream, water ice, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, watermelon. And what better time to eat those foods than July 4th. In fact, Americans will consume roughly 150 million hot dogs this Independence Day. That's a lot of processed meat! If hot dogs aren't your thing, or you're just looking for something fun this holiday weekend, read on for a list of events down the shore:

Screen tees, message tees, whatever you want to call them - you either love 'em or hate 'em. The shore is no better place to stock up on some of your favorite t-shirts, or poke fun of the ones you'd never be caught dead in. Wildwood is especially famous for having its fair share of ridiculous t-shirts. Save Britney, O so Textual, and Pale is the New Tan, are just some of the ones you'll see this year. And, it appears that some of the new t-shirts are even taking a political stance, according to this article from the Inquirer. Go make a fashion statement, and have a great weekend down the shore.
