Asbury Park Adventures

Taka

November 25th, 2012

Asbury Park, NJ

Abstract

Taka came up in a Yelp search during the "pre-visit" research that goes into all of our trips to new or not-frequently-visited areas.  We knew we were going to Asbury Park, New Jersey... we knew nothing about the area. So research yielded a Japanese place rated with 4 out of 5 stars and... sushi is always a win with me so it went on the short list of "places we should check out."

While not exactly the best place we've ever been to, Taka had some interesting items and good food to offer. The service the night we went was a little slow but we had a good time and would probably tell people it's worth a visit if you're in town.

Good Morning Asbury Park!

Frank's Deli & Restaurant

November 25th, 2012

Asbury Park, NJ

Abstract

One of Stephan's favorite meals is breakfast so when we travel we often leave breakfast to Stephan. This trip had him asking the locals for the "best" breakfast spot in their opinion.

Through the opinions of a few people we wandered about a mile from the hotel towards Main Street where we found Frank's.  Upon entering it was much like any other diner; a myriad of tables, shiny metal with leather-topped stools at the bar and a full length of the restaurant server area leading down to the grill area and then an entry off into the "back room" that all diners seem to have behind the bar.  It felt homey and comfortable and we just settled right in and got to the menu.
