Atlantic City, NJ, Booming: Boxing, Leprechauns, Rod Stewart & More

Atlantic City, New Jersey is back. What an incredible weekend of diverse events — which brought significant economic spend to The World’s Playground this weekend.

Atlantic City St. Patrick’s Day Boardwalk Parade

Was an unqualified success. It was record-setting in every way … the number and quality of the floats; the marching bands and more.

In all, more than 120 groups participated and the parade route stretched-out for 1 mile.

The parade route was 2 miles long and took about 3 hours to complete.

The Atlantic City Casinos heavily participated in the parade.

The parade directly helped to generate millions of dollars in casino and local business.

Resorts Casino Hotel Atlantic City Had A Bunch Of Great Activities

The Whole Town Was Jammed Pack

I was at Tony’s Baltimore Grill (see the photos above) at just before 4:00 p.m. It was so great to see this iconic restaurant at full capacity.

Our server was Karen (pictured above), who has worked at Tony’s Baltimore Grill for 45 years. She is the best that you can find in the food and beverage service industry.

While at Tony’s, I also ran into Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson and his wife, Patsy (see above).
