ABOUT SHORE FOODIE
As consumers we have always felt the restaurants in our “Jersey Shore” were as good as you could find anywhere. From fine dining like Shipwreck Grill to great hot dogs from The WindMill, we’ve got it all. In fact, the many great restaurants here is what inspired us to create Jersey Shore Restaurant Week.
From a consumer standpoint, however, it has always been difficult to find what you want in a restaurant at any given time. It may be a particular cuisine you are looking for, or Sunday brunch places or a raw bar or waterfront views. Whatever it may be, it has been very difficult to search for those things without going restaurant to restaurant. In addition, many restaurants have wonderful special offers that go unnoticed unless you search that particular restaurant.
We decided to change all that with “Shore Foodie, the Ultimate Guide to Food, Dining and Entertainment at the Jersey Shore”. We have restaurant profiles, menu and reservation links for over 100 restaurants. You will be able to search by cuisine, meals served, features and geography. And, you will be able to search for Special Offers by food, drink, entertainment and geography for any day of the week.
