atlantic city?

cc · Marc Jacobs

I've only been there once and it was after midnight on a Sunday in March or April so I don't think I got an accurate view of AC. I definitely got a slightly seedy feel but I think that could just be because of the time of the week/year I was there and the casino we went to - can't remember which one but it was pretty deserted and depressing. I had a lot of fun since it was a totally spontaneous trip with my friends and we were into the sleazy nature. I know there are ritzier places there like the Borgata though.

I frequent AC. One of my good friends lives near there. There is definitely a seedy side, but they've done a lot over the past few years to clean it up, so the boardwalk/casino area is pretty decent now.

Here are a few of my favorite places:

The Quarter at The Tropicana- Lots of restaurants, lounges, clubs, etc. There's a martini bar (Red Square), a loung with a dance floor (32 Degrees), Cuba Libre (best mojitos ever!), Firewater (chill, fun bar/lounge) and lots of other places
The Pier at Caesar's Palace- excellent Vegas-style shopping (modeled after The Forum Shops) and also good restaurants. Philly restaurant king, Steven Starr opened a few of his restaurants here
The Walk (I think that's what it's called)-- right off the boardwalk/casino area, outlet shopping
The Borgata- swanky and cool; just a fun casino with cool clubs/lounges

There's also The Beach Bar (near Caesar's palace) that's pretty fun if it's warm outside. It's actually on the beach and has a tropical vibe.
