[AsburyPark] Re: Friday night at Watermark then Sellas...
Followed your lead Oak and went to both places last night. Let me say that Asbury Park's boardwalk is fast becoming better than it ever was, at any time in its history. Credit Mottola and Fishman's LLC. Disclaimer: If the high-end retail draws a crowd, that is. Time will tell. It was my idea to go that way in triCity years before AP heard the name Mottola, so I'm rooting for it. If high retail doesn't work, at the very least the old is being taken out of the buildings, which was sorely needed. Slowly but surely, Asbury Park is shedding its Art-Wrecko beachfront archetecture. Watermark was great. I felt as though I was walking into a NYC establishment with an Ocean View. Finally, the City really is meeting the Sea. No longer just a slogan. So comfortable. Music was low enough that we could talk without raising our voices. Really felt like we were sitting in a living room. Only knock was the 15 minutes it took to bring us our drinks - two were pop-opens. There was only two other sets of customeers so they weren't busy. Chalk it up to opening pains. Will go back. Stella Marina is beautifully appointed. Very pretty. One complaint though - the food was small. Maybe that's an Italian thing. We feed people until they can't take it anymore, then we fill thier plate againl. A guy named Mottola should know better. I don't rule the world though, so maybe others don't mind small food and it will be OK. After all, I'm fat. I ordered a supersata appatizer. $8 gave me 6 see-through slices cut with a razor blade. I usually put more than that on one cracker. Next time bring me a big hunk of meat and a knife. I had escorole (pronounce 'shcadawl')and beans soup. Taste was second best in the world next to my mothers. It had a nice spicey kick. Loved it. Again though - not enough spoonfuls. Made a peanut butter sandwich when I came home. Few weeks ago we tried Pop's Garage! LOVED IT. GREAT TASTING MEXICAN FOOD AND MARILYN FILLED ME UP (no small task). Can't wait to try Langosta. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quick note: Watermark very neat upstairs. Gret fireplace anc chairs. Kind of tough with yet even smaller glass for those cosmos with belevedere coming in at $12.50. Maybe a 6oz glass. No food there from stellas, so we walked across to the stella's and had a pie and salad. Beer at Watermark $5.00 Had a good crowd eating there service from klitchen was a bit slow, but that can be expected. Just need bigger martini glasses or someone else to buy the drinks. Yahoo!

So, based on EXPERIENCE, I comment that yes, the boardwalk is better. Werner has seen it from his time period here. I've seen it from pre- werner as well as have others. There's words you are not supposed to use in advertising, - ultimate (ultimatetest...), new and improved (newer and more improved..), more ultimate then before, The Boardwalk is better. It's a phrase that can always be used. Better then 1970? Better then 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005? Yes, at least from what I recall. I don't know if it was better then 1900, or 1940. From what I read, probably not. But it's a phrase. My son is 15 now. To him, it's better and same for my daughter. It's better. Are the lights bright? Yes. CH is open, has events, stores etc. Maybe not hundreds of events etc - but, it's open, the city isn't paying for it, people come there, it feels pretty safe and looks the best I've ever seen it growing up here, from what I can remember. The guys from GM, ford and Chrysler all flew in on private jets. Ok, PR blunder. MM thought they can get things done quicker in AP or maybe came up with other, cost effective ideas or got lost in the time warp of speed in Asbury or are positoning themseleves for other things. They HAD to get stuff open to generate income. See what happens Yahoo!

as far as the 12.50 drinks, though i don't think your wife would be into it...hit up the cameo first ;). a friend was just telling me about an article somewhere talking about how dives are back. after spending 20 bucks a round all summer for my friend and i we started going to the cameo. half price, same drinks. its actually a fun place, good characters, good juke box, awesome bartender. i wouldn't consider it a dive at all. not the same view. flask economy! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Gabrielle Obre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Oak, is there a dance floor and dance music? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakdorf@ wrote: Quick note: Watermark very neat upstairs.

I don't think there is a real dance floor - yet - the outside decks will be real nice i the summer. Excellent furniture. nice leather couches all around. Fireplace. Yes, $20 for 2. Trying to teach her to drink beer. Or flirt. Love the setting. 30 years ago we were on the roof there drinking beer. Bring back the digger Yahoo!
