Historic Smithville-Village Greene
Ocean City, NJ | leisure | 2 to 4 hours
What began as a one-room stagecoach stop grew over 50 years into a village of some 60 shoppes and seven eateries strung along cobblestone walkways and footbridges around a lake, about 45 minutes north of Ocean City near Absecon. The Painted Ponies carousel turns to a Wurlitzer band organ, the village train runs for $3 a rider, and paddle boats and antique arcades fill the afternoon for kids while the Christmas shop, Irish and Italian imports and a cooking-gadget store occupy everyone else. Roughly 30 free events run each year, from car shows to an Italian festival, and in December a looping light show takes over the village.
