Ranked the third best small town in America by the Smithsonian Magazine, Red Bank boasts a bevy of
independent restaurants, lounges and cafes as well as stores, shops, and boutiques for patrons to frequent.  In 2011, more than thirty of the borough’s restaurateurs formed Red Bank Flavour, a grassroots culinary alliance, to create unique, culinary-centric events and promotions that
spotlight the two-river region as a dining and entertainment destination.
