RiverCenter Gears Up For A New Year From New Red Bank Office
RiverCenter is now based at English Plaza in Red Bank, and is planning another year of special events in town, including a Sweet Stroll.
RED BANK, NJ — You can now visit the Red Bank RiverCenter at its new first-floor office at English Plaza - a return to its address of five years ago.
"We've certainly enjoyed our time on Broad Street but we’re heading back to where we used to be located – only this time on the ground floor," said Executive Direct Bob Zuckerman.
The new location is 46 English Plaza, Suite 6B. Phones are the same: RiverCenter is 732-842-4244 and the Visitors Center is 732-741-9211.

The Red Bank River Center promotes local merchants, recruits new businesses, stages downtown events and beautifies streetscapes, its website notes.
Zuckerman said the corner location is very visible and has parking - and is still in the heart of the business district. But there are plans for exterior signage and a banner so people can locate it easily.

Speaking of the downtown, Red Bank recently received some national publicity, highlighted by Travel + Leisure in its Trip Ideas site as one of the "12 Best Small Towns In New Jersey."
"This quaint Monmouth County town is ideally situated along the Navesink River," the article notes, citing local businesses and Riverside Park. The only other Monmouth County town named in the list was Spring Lake.
And with January almost over, RiverCenter is gearing up for a new year of holiday-inspired events to engage visitors and the community.
Zuckerman said RiverCenter has contacted its members about the next big thing - Valentine's Day.
A "Sweet Stroll" through the business area is planned for Saturday, Feb. 11.
Details are still being worked out, but the idea is for stores to offer "something special" to visitors for Valentine's Day, Zuckerman said.
