First Wednesday is tomorrow

I used my Las Vegas Business Press column to talk about Second Saturday a few weeks ago, so I feel it’s only appropriate to mention First Wednesday here. But don’t go down to Fremont Street for this one–instead, head to St. James Place in Atlantic City:

Restaurants, hotels and retailers around Atlantic City will come alive on Wednesday, May 3, 2006, when First Wednesday AC hits an “Always Turned On” Atlantic City.

First Wednesday is a monthly event - the first Wednesday of each month - that provides a night to dine, party, shop and stay with discounts and packages offered at businesses throughout the town, and a free shuttle to get you from spot to spot.

Participants in First Wednesday AC are invited to park in the South Jersey Transportation Authority lots on Fairmont Avenue and Atlantic Avenue for a nominal fee and hop aboard the free First Wednesday AC Shuttle to the various participating locations. The shuttle runs every 15 minutes until 10pm.

Created by the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority, Atlantic City Outlets - The Walk, South Jersey Transportation Authority and Tropicana Casino & Resort, First Wednesday AC is a monthly program that provides a night to dine, party, shop and stay with discounts and packages offered at businesses throughout the Atlantic City area.

I mentioned St. James Place because the Irish Pub has a $5.95 dinner special. Of course, you could go to P.F. Chang’s or Applebee’s too, but if you want atmosphere, head to the Irish Pub.
