Newsweek comes out with a list of the top 25 beaches in the US and Jersey only shows up once. Once! Asbury Park made the list along with beaches in Oregon , Maine and Mississippi, really? Oregon? Maine? Everyone knows you can t swim in the ridiculously cold water in Maine so I think that means it shouldn t count!
OK, back to Jersey. I asked on the show Friday, about go-to beaches. For my family it was always Sea Isle City. I grew up going to SIC after my grandparents bought a house for just a few bucks back in the 1970s. Yes, the Jersey shore was really affordable at one point a few years ago! It was great to reminisce about Screnci s Italian restaurant, Angelo s Pizza on JFK boulevard and the pancakes at Dock Mikes. We heard a lot of love for the shore during the show with Spring Lake and Stone Harbor topping the list.
