What once was known as a popular fishing port has now has become a commercially and residentially trendy town. Red Bank is located 40 minutes from Manhattan and is frequently compared to New York City for its high end luxury boutiques and fantastic restaurants.
Red Bank is 1.75 square miles and the entire town is very walkable. Broad Street is Red Bank’s most noted. Used in the film Dogma as well as several others, Broad Street is home to many infamous stores such as “Garmany” and Tiffany & Co. Although Red Bank is infused with a modern flair, the town has retained much of its old world charm by renovating several brick buildings and lining old fashion benches and lampposts along the entire strip. Visitors feel as though they have stepped back in time. Music is also a huge part of the community. Red Bank is home to the historic Count Basie Theatre and plays host to the Jazz and Blues Festival each summer. The annual fireworks display performed on the Navesink is the most popular with the residents. This event is always well attended and provides the largest turnout among neighbors and those residing in neighboring towns.
