Asbury Park Ranked as Top 10 City in the World to Visit by Travel+Leisure

On Dec 2, 2015

Travel+Leisure magazine names Asbury Park as among the top 50 cities to visit in 2016. The seaside resort comes in at No. 10, sandwiched between St. Helena at No. 9 and Frankfurt Germany at No. 11.

T+E correspondent David Shaftel  writes in his review:

“ …. the Jersey Shore town, 90 minutes south of New York City, has started to recover, led by its gay and live-music scenes. Visitors to Asbury’s boardwalk can still have their fortunes told at Madam Marie’s Temple of Knowledge and play on vintage pinball machines (preserved at the Silverball Museum), but now they’ll also find clothing and jewelry at the Market at Fifth Avenue, sushi and tacos at Langosta Lounge, and surfboards and skateboards at Lightly Salted. A short walk from the beach, the Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten serves almost 100 varieties of beer, and famous venues like the Stone Pony—a Springsteen haunt—are still packed. The Empress Hotel on the oceanfront is the place to stay, at least until the 110-room Asbury opens this year. …”
