Weekend Happenings
Thursday 11/6-Sunday 11/9
Hey Friends,
Weekends are simply our favorite days of the week — how could they not be? As this one rolls in, the countdown to the holidays is officially on. Believe it or not, we’re just three weeks away from Turkey Time! 🦃
Got a family recipe that always steals the Thanksgiving spotlight? Share the love! Email it to us, and we’ll feature them over the next few weeks.
Weekend Sips & Bites Around Monmouth County
Looking for great places to eat, drink, and unwind this weekend? Here are a few adult-friendly picks that serve up the best local flavor:
Holiday Crafts & Drafts at Jersey Girl Brewing (Red Bank): Sip seasonal brews while browsing artisan vendors inside the brewery’s cozy tasting room-a perfect mix of holiday shopping and craft beer fun. (info)
Kane Brewing Co. (Ocean Township): A must-visit for beer lovers — stop by for a tasting flight or a pint in their taproom. Check their hours and maybe grab a pizza nearby to go with it. (info)
Alternate Ending Beer Co. (Aberdeen): A brewery-meets-theater pub serving up wood-fired pizzas, craft beer, and laid-back charm in a cool retro setting. Great for casual date nights or easy group hangs. (live music Sunday 2-4pm)
Bell Works Bar Bella (Holmdel): Cap off your evening at their “Sundown Sessions,” where cocktails and live DJs meet sleek, stylish vibes for the perfect nightcap. (info)
Whether you’re in the mood for a local brew, a craft cocktail, or just a cozy spot to catch up with friends, Monmouth County has your weekend plans covered.
Spotlight: Angelica’s – Sea Bright (BYOB)
One of our favorite weekend rituals is heading out to a cozy BYOB — and this week’s pick is a real gem: Angelica’s in Sea Bright. We’ll be there for lunch this weekend, and if you’ve been, you already know why.
Angelica’s offers old-world charm with a warm, twinkly glow and dishes so good you’ll regret ever agreeing to “share.” It’s the perfect blend of special-occasion dining without the stuffiness — just incredible food and genuine hospitality.
🍝 The Food: House-made pastas, fresh seafood, and sauces that will live rent-free in your memory.
🍷 BYOB: Bring your favorite wine or bubbles — no corkage drama, just good vibes.
✨ The Vibe: Intimate, warmly lit, and perfect for a date night or celebration dinner with friends.
💡 Pro Tip: Reserve ahead (the dining room is small), arrive early with your bottle tote, and don’t skip dessert. The tiramisu is a quiet mic drop.
P.S. If you dine there this weekend, tag us! The best table photo earns bragging rights in next week’s issue-and it may even be my table!
The best HR advice comes from those in the trenches. That’s what this is: real-world HR insights delivered in a newsletter from Hebba Youssef, a Chief People Officer who’s been there. Practical, real strategies with a dash of humor. Because HR shouldn’t be thankless—and you shouldn’t be alone in it.
Stay cozy, sip happy, and see you next week!
