Ten Fun Things to Do in Asbury Park (While You’re Down There for the Show at Parlor Gallery)
You’ve been working hard, you deserve a little break! The weatherman said it’s going to be nice, so grab your sunglasses and toss your cares out with the snow shovel.
1. Stroll the boardwalk
2. Have a delicious dinner
3. Shop
4. Coffee
5. Bowl
6. See a punk show
7. Nightcap overlooking the ocean
8. Pamper yourself
9. Strange reading at Paranormal Books & Curiosities
10. See my art at the Parlor Gallery … opening Saturday night with DJ, food and drink
Jill Ricci, co-owner of the Parlor (who’ll be exhibiting with me), is full of great suggestions for local fun. “A good site to check out for events in Asbury is www.allasburypark.com,” Jill says. “The boardwalk is always a good bet, with lots of cool shops and restaurants. Some good ones there are Stella Marina (delicious Italian) and the Watermark (drinks and light fare in a beautiful lounge overlooking the ocean).
“On Cookman near us there is a great BYOB Restaurant called Plan B ( 2 doors
down), and across the street a nice bar/restaurant called the Harrison. You can read some reviews here.
“If someone wants some live music and cabaret and bowling fun, my partner Jenn
also co-manages a great venue called the Asbury Lanes– great Lounge …
“Also, if anyone wants to stay over night, I highly recommend both the Hotel Tides Restaurant and Spa Hotel and Mikell’s Big House, both online.”
Thanks, Jill — and I hope to see everyone else there!
