Jazz Series on the Beach and Boardwalk
African Americans who wished to enjoy the Atlantic City Beach during the period from 1900 through the early 1950's were socially restricted to the Missouri Avenue area. As thousands of vacationing Black families flocked to the shore with their chicken laden picnic hampers, the strip became affectionately nicknamed "Chicken Bone Beach". A block party atmosphere was enhanced by the visits of major Black entertainers, such as Sammy Davis Jr., "Moms" Mabley and the Club Harlem Showgirls.

Deemed "America's favorite playground", Atlantic City is filled with excitement, electricity and pure entertainment. Best of all, it's a mere 58 miles away from Philadelphia, 125 miles from New York and 195 miles from Washington, D.C. Pegged as an ideal weekend getaway, Atlantic City is a dynamite tourist destination which draws 34 million visitors annually. "Our visitors come to Atlantic City for more than casino gaming and strolling on the Boardwalk," says Lindcrantz. "Many are attracted by headliners and high-quality reviews in the showrooms. Golfers love the area because of the variety of golf courses. Boating and fishing are popular almost all year in the ocean and back bays and there are a variety of amusements and attractions for visitors of all ages," explains Lindcrantz.

Atlantic City is one of my favorite getaways and I've been there several times and I've stayed at different casinos along the boardwalk. I love walking the boardwalk, going into the little shops scattered around and grabbing a quick lunch at one of the stands. You can feel the excitement in the air and smell the popcorn, cheese and foods in the air. I'd recommend Atlantic City to anyone looking for a great weekend trip, there are plenty of other things to do besides gambling, theres shopping and theres also an amusement park located near Taj Mahal. If you've never been there before, its definetely something to experience! Epinions.com

In New York, there's Coney Island. In Florida, there's Disney World. In New Jersey, there's Steel Pier - once again. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, in 1993, Atlantic City's famous Steel Pier resumed its rightful position as the centerpiece of family entertainment on the great wooden way. After years of neglect and ultimately the devestation of a 1982 fire, Donald Trump's Taj Mahal rebuilt the Atlantic City icon making it a viable amusement pier once again.
