Asbury Park - more than just Rock & Roll
Every so often I get so busy with showing houses, setting up open houses, and meeting with potential listings that I forget to stop and smell the roses, or better yet, the salty air. I have to remind myself of what I love about Asbury Park, living at the beach, and why I enjoy selling real estate here. I forget about how on any given weekend, there are events for just about anyone. I forget about the delicatible eateries that have made a home in Asbury, and I forget about the amazing people that I encounter every day here.
For example, the Silverball Museum has moved to the Third Avenue Pavilion. This extraordinary collection of vintage pinball games and related arcade wonder machines will be a major attraction and draw thousands of visitors and families to the boards this summer and year-round.
When looking at the number of restaurants that keep popping up in Asbury Park... a new pizza and bread restaurant/bakery called Siculian's will open in the Third Avenue Pavilion. At the First Avenue Pavilion, Sully's Boardwalk Bagels will be open by Memorial Day. The owners of Stella Marina will be opening a new restaurant called Boards at the northern end of the First Avenue Pavilion (right under the Watermark). A local favorite, Mayfair Boardwalk Grille, will relocate to one the seasonal "pop-ups" joining Swell and Sandwich. The Grand Arcade will welcome a new restaurant/bar called Aqua that will be located in the former O'Toole's location.
And, here is an event that highlights the accomplished and dedicated people of Asbury, Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce is holding their annual service awards... The Chamber's 19th Annual Carousel Awards. "This year's event celebrates the excitement of the pioneering spirit we share here in Asbury Park," says DiBenedetto. "The honorees were all chosen for that pioneering spirit and for their dedication, both personally and professionally, to Asbury Park as a community." This year's dinner will be held at the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel in Asbury Park on Friday, May 14, with cuisine by Branches Catering. Cocktails begin at 6:00, followed by dinner and dancing to Funktion 11 plus a special performance by ReVision Theater.
Other worth-while events to check out here in Asbury include the Oyster Festival in September, the Classic Car Show in July, and every weekend, you can always find great music, delicious food, and good times. Just walk into any restaurant and bar in Asbury.
