Happy Tuesday, Monmouth County! The groundhog saw his shadow yesterday, so we’re in for six more weeks of winter. Looks like we’re not ditching the snow boots anytime soon…better start stocking up on coffee and comfort food. But on the bright side, more time to binge-watch without guilt!

• An Oyster-Filled Sunday: Shuck & Sip at 3BR

• Lace Up for Cupid’s Chase 5K in Lake Como

• Breathe In, Let Go: Sanctum Breathwork at Ohana Rising

• Moonlight & Milkshakes: A Magical Night for Dads and Daughters

An Oyster-Filled Sunday: Shuck & Sip at 3BR

If your Sunday plans could use a little salt and a solid sip, Shuck & Sip has you covered. Head to 3BR Distillery on Sunday, February 8 from 12 to 3 PM for an afternoon built around all the best brunch-adjacent indulgences.

Expect freshly shucked oysters, a stacked pickle bar, and bloody marys flowing alongside a special event menu made for snacking and lingering. Tickets are $20 and include a welcome cocktail, which is a pretty great way to kick off a Sunday.

Come hungry, come thirsty, and settle in for a laid-back afternoon that feels equal parts seafood feast and cocktail party.

Lace Up for Cupid’s Chase 5K in Lake Como

Looking for a feel-good way to spend Valentine’s Day weekend? The Cupid’s Chase 5K returns to Lake Como on Saturday, February 14, bringing runners, walkers, and community members together for a great cause.

The race kicks off at 10:00 AM and welcomes participants of all abilities, including walkers, strollers, and leashed pets. Part of a nationwide series benefiting Community Options, the event supports housing and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Expect a scenic course, festive energy, and plenty of heart behind every mile.

Breathe In, Let Go: Sanctum Breathwork at Ohana Rising

If your nervous system has been begging for a Sunday reset, Sanctum Breathwork is calling. Join this guided breathwork journey at Ohana Rising Yoga Studio on Sunday, February 15 from 1 to 4 PM for an afternoon that’s less about doing and more about being. Through intentional breathing, you’ll drop out of your head, release built-up stress, and reconnect with yourself in a way that actually sticks.

No experience required, just an open mind and a willingness to slow down. Expect to leave feeling lighter, clearer, and very glad you showed up.

Moonlight & Milkshakes: A Magical Night for Dads and Daughters

Swap the everyday routine for sparkle and smiles at the Moonlight & Milkshakes Daddy Daughter Date Night! On Thursday, February 12th, from 6 to 7:15 PM at Chick-fil-A Ocean Township, dads (or father figures) and daughters get a VIP night full of fun, games, and sweet treats.

No waiting in line, just head to your reserved, decorated table and dive into activities designed to keep the giggles going. Dinner’s on you, but we’re serving up dessert surprises to make the night extra magical. Plus, snap memories at the themed photo spot (and maybe meet a mooo-velous VIP guest).

There are limited spots so grab yours before they’re gone. More details included in the link below!
