Happy holidays from the Tony Mart family!

We are so grateful for the good times we are all celebrating together this year and looking forward to next year.

Looking back, those who remember the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving was a huge, raucous good time “Drink and Drown“ party at Tony Mart's with about 500 people and lots of rock ‘n’ roll and dancing. Those were the days up until 1981! You can taste the flavor of that excitement at Josie Kelly's tonight when Billy Walton performs his Black Friday concert entitled "Painted Blank"! Undoubtedly that will be one of the hottest holiday party events of the season!

We will delight together in talking about the phenomenal and extensive world class selection of bourbons, single barrel whiskey and Circle Liquor Store's own single barrel bottles of its own label of bourbon right from their own barrels!

Jordan, the Craft Beer Guy, is now Jordan the Bourbon Guy as well and we have his excellent, high-quality and varied recommendations for autumn beers as well as those world class bourbons to enjoy for the holidays.

On the more serious side, we want to again encourage everyone to take the time to donate whatever money they can and donate their time and their attention to the great organizations for helping to feed the less fortunate this holiday season. We join the American Federation of Chefs of South Jersey Chef‘s Association in encouraging everyone to give their time and their resources to make the holidays better for those who need the most.

We will talk about those organizations on the radio this week as well as we travel towards Devil's Ireland in French Guyana and the coast of Brazil, by way of the Caribbean.

Everyone is invited to get ready to kick off the summer season with Tony Mart Cares at our “Triple Tribute Kickoff Party for the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point, which will be held at Josie Kelly‘s, 7 PM on Friday, January 9, 2026! Just send an email to TonyMartPresents@gmail.com if you want to secure your place to purchase a $20 wristband for seating or simply renew your commitment and donation to the Tony Mart Cares Concerts and receive two free wristbands for the show.

While we have so much time during days at sea on this 30 day cruise, we would like everyone, especially the Tony Mart nostalgia people and those who have been patiently waiting, to know that we are working on the book. About half of it has been roughed out, but now we are trying to clean up the chapters and move forward with a co-writer and publisher as soon as we can.

Obviously, we were set back by illness, but we just have to find time from our lifestyle to get the work done!

Presently, we are writing about "Ducktown USA", the Atlantic City where Tony Mart arrived in late 1932. It is a colorful an interesting chapter that begins with a crazy horse and buggy used by Tony Mart to deliver milk and ends with the establishment of the Tony Mart Luncheonette which ironically and historically did business at Columbia Place and the Boardwalk very close to Kennedy Plaza, where Tony Mart Presents Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk these days.

Anyone who would like to comment or contribute directly to the book and join the nostalgia trip, just send us your comments to TonyMartpresents@gmail.com.

Also remember that wristbands with the January 9 Triple Tribute Show and orders for T-shirts that will be filled in January can be placed by email there.

Before we get there, don’t forget the phenomenal collection of gift baskets and the custom created gift baskets for you and your unique gift ideas for friends and hosts.

From the windward Islands of the Caribbean on our way to the Amazon, Nancy and I send our thoughts and love to everyone!

Stay tuned for travel, exploits, and stories!
