In Asbury Park, summer never sleeps.
As the revitalized oceanfront city continues to expand its reputation as a white-hot social hub, its downtown and boardwalk bars are now packed each weekend — regardless of weather or season — with locals and out-of-towners, twenty-somethings and graying patrons, all in search of a good time (and a good drink).
