Unfortunately, the City of New Brunswick doesn’t embrace that history and its music, unlike the City of Asbury Park and the City of Hoboken, who use theirs to draw visitors to their cities. Instead, New Brunswick, at the behest of Johnson & Johnson -- otherwise they we’re going to relocate to Princeton -- market their restaurants, jazz and fine arts to draw visitors. Rather than embrace and try to help market iconic venues, such as the Court Tavern, Melody and The Roxy, it let them fall to the wayside and in the case of the latter two, demolished them to help pave the way for New Brunswick as the health center of the state. The same fate soon awaits the Court Tavern unless someone or something steps in to right its course.
