I remember the Beatrice, back when the West Village had interesting people and good restaurants. Glad to see the hipsters and their wannabes flying south. Please take the awful Austrian place on Washington St with you!

Ha. The New Yorkers "class" up Atlantic City. You can spot the New Yorkers from a mile away when they are in AC and they are the furthest thing from classy. AC, just like Las Vegas, is a place which attracts the worst of society. Don't paint all New Yorkers with the same brush just because of your experience with a few obnoxious jerks. You wouldn't know where I came from unless I told you based on my behavior.

^At least the Borgata has fun games and good restaurants. This place only offers douchey hipster kitsch.

"It's all the interference and development from greedy non-locals that ruined the Jersey shore in the first place." That is the truth. AC is just way way way way too far for me but I wish them luck..I guess their target would be the Borgata crew of people..

Oh, the audacity of Atlantic City locals to actually patronize an establishment where they live! You'd think they should be grateful New Yorkers are visiting and would have the good sense to stay away and give them their space. Dipshit. It's all the interference and development from greedy non-locals that ruined the Jersey shore in the first place. See http://www.greetingsfromasburyparkmovie.com/Synopsis.html as a case in point.

"But you know what they say: you can't take the New Jersey out of Atlantic City." Then NY'ers should spend time in lovely Coney Island or on picturesque Orchard Beach. How about a beautiful stroll along the quaint streets of Farrockaway. All desirable beach getaways that attract the beautiful set in NYC.................. But you know what they say: you can't take the nauseating, obnoxious, trying WAYYYYYY too hard to seem important provincialism out of New York.
