Hanging at PORTA and Fourth Union SkatesteemCreated with Sketch.

Spent last Saturday afternoon at the Jersey Shore in Asbury Park for a tasty lunch at PORTA pizza, and then stopped to hang and take a few photos at Fourth Union Skate and Culture Organization before heading home.

PORTA: Welcome

We lifted our name from an old Italian proverb about a would-be monk named Martin, who was asked to write the Latin phrases, "Porta patens esto. Nulli claudatur honesto." (May the door always be open. May it never be closed to any honest person.")

Instead of writing this, however, Martin mistakenly put the period in the wrong place, creating a completely different meaning. The story symbolizes how the details make all the difference. At Porta, we're committed to that difference. From preserving the art of authentic Neapolitan pizza making to repurposing architectural elements in line with our wabi-sabi philosophy, the words of Charles Eames always hit home for us: "The details are not the details. They make the design." And when you get enough people to believe in the importance of those little things, you've got a family for the ages.

Join us if you'd like. The door's always open.


Fourth Union Skate and Culture Organization

Forth Union is a skate and culture organization appearing in its first incarnation at the Carousel on the Asbury Park Boardwalk complete with a skateboard bowl, courtesy of Red Bull, and obstacles, art exhibition and event space, skate related retail, and rotating food trucks* (*coming soon). This endeavor is produced by Madison Marquette in partnership with Red Bull as part of the ongoing activation of the Asbury Park Boardwalk.

Forth Union Skate & Culture Organization takes its name from the bond between the skate and artistic communities and their shared pursuit of boundary pushing. Forth Union is more than a place, it is a group of individuals who have come together to build something inclusive.
