And since I have a (short-term) subscription to the APP and this article is behind the paywall, here are the places that were of some interest TO ME from the new restaurants at the shore article:
El Rey Rosticeria y Restaurante
(You get a link to this one because I wanted to know WHERE in AP–it’s 708 Emory St. YW.)
Nick + Sons Bakery in Brooklyn is opening a second location in Spring Lake
Ram Cafe in Howell
Cookie & Crumb in Atlantic Highlands
(I’m guessing it’s where Flaky Tart was)
Los Barbaros Birria, which started at Mayan Restaurant in Asbury Park, is opening in Belmar.
Iron Oak Smokehouse is coming to Schooner’s Wharf in Beach Haven
When Cat’s Luck Vegan opens in Neptune City this summer, owner Michelle Mancuso will serve breakfast and lunch in addition to baked goods. (You get the link to this one because I’m a CL customer and think she’s a doll AND a very good baker, vegan or not!)
El Sabor De Mi Pueblo in Keansburg
Ice cream cookie sandwiches from The Baked Bear, opening soon in The Loft in Long Branch’s Pier Village
Bar Bella outdoor deck at Bell Works in Holmdel (I’ve been here; lovely setting, JUST opened, so they’re still figuring some stuff out, but food is available from the places inside the bldg)
Ocean Brew Coffee in Spring Lake
Compassion Cafe, a nonprofit coffee shop staffed by employees with disabilities, opened for its first season inside Barry’s Do Me A Flavor in Beach Haven
Hummus Republic serves Mediterranean food including wraps, pitas, and bowls. The restaurant recently opened in Long Branch
Yes, the APP should pay me at this point. They don’t offer links to any of these, and they run photos with the same caption over and over again. Hence, my SHORT TERM subscription.
