Absecon Lighthouse 

Absecon Lighthouse, the highlight of the city which stands tall with 228 steps, comes among the best things to do in Atlantic City as it is one of the most ancient lighthouses in the country, where not only will you get to see spectacular vistas of the stunning of the Atlantic City horizon below but look up and you'll see the classic first-order Fresnel Lens, which was initially lit in 1857. The lighthouse underwent a stunning renovation including the duplicate of the Lightkeeper's house, an intellectually stimulating exhibit, an enchanting gift shop, the Fresnel Lens Museum in the authentic Oil House, and vast grounds. The lighthouse is still up to this date lit up at night as per tradition despite people being retired from duties.

Taproom Bar & Grille  

Stepping into Taproom Bar & Grille is equivalent to taking a trip down memory lane all the way back to the past when things used to be simple and clear-cut. As soon as step onto the vintage patina hardwood floor, you will be enveloped in the Epicurean pleasures and won’t want to leave. The venue has been standing still for centuries with Rustic-chic tin ceiling covers and diverse golf collectibles that embellish the walls. Each picture, each memento, and each artifact narrates an indulgent tale of the olden golf days. However, if the interior and history don't attract your attention at once then maybe the spectacular Atlantic City skyline and tempting fare will. The lunch menu ranges from delicious pub sandwiches to crisp fresh salads, mouthwatering gourmet burgers to cheesy pizza, and much more, whilst the dinner options vary from juicy steaks, chops, and grilled meats to succulent fish and seafood, tantalizing pasta dishes to homemade delights.

 

The NJ Korean War Memorial

The NJ Korean War Memorial stands as a tribute statement to assure that everyone local or visiting is well aware of the effort, honor, pride, and dedication put into achieving what we have today. The Memorial is situated at the intersection of Park Place and the Boardwalk, which was dedicated on November 13, 2000, on land granted by Atlantic City. The sole purpose of the memorial is to serve and aid the Korean War veterans, as well as their families and friends who suffered heavily. The 33 NJ Korean War is considered a recovering venue as not only does it tell tales of America’s hand in the struggle but also the way South Korea secured an important victory for their independence and Civic participation.
