In my previous post, I started writing about the "jewel by the sea" - Asbury Park and the role it's playing in our lives. One thing I forgot to mention is the recent article in the NYTimes featuring one of our favorite restaurateurs Marilyn Schlossbach and her brand new venture: Langosta Lounge. Check out the article at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/16/nyregion/16towns.html?scp=1&sq=asbury%20park&st=cse
By the way, one of our favorite quotes of the piece comes from Lance Larson - musician, Wonder Bar manager and veteran of Asbury Park - sums up Asbury's revival coinciding with the failing economy: "We've been to hell already," he said. "Been there, done that. If we could handle that, we can handle this."
Apropos of the tough-skinned, hopeful spirits in Asbury Park. Come visit. People with vision welcomed.
