It's because of the last few pages of this thread that I REFUSE to open a user account on the new boards. The old one was a miserable place to waste time, and it's spilling over here now.

As far as ACY, the boardwalk is a couple of blocks from the hotel, it should still be good for a weekend layover. Close to the hotel is a Tanger Outlet, and the TUN Tavern is attached to the hotel. Decent beer brewed in house.
