New Jersey Ideas We Love

Shore Accomodations

The Jersey Shore is a hot destination-wedding spot, so if you’re planning to be married there, coming up with a great lodging option for your out-of-towners is a must. Unfortunately, worn-out properties in dire need of a face-lift outnumber the gems. After sifting through the duds, we found Daddy O, 4401 Long Beach Blvd., Brant Beach, 609-361-5100, daddyohotel.com. This brand-new 22-room New York style hotel is just half a block from the beach. Your hipster pals will dig the sleek guest rooms, with faux-mink pillows, flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms (with soothing rainfall showerheads); the on-site liquor store makes it easy to stage impromptu "happy hours" on the rooftop deck. Rooms: $255 and up.
