The Asbury Hotel—the first new accommodation option in Asbury Park, New Jersey in over 50 years—officially opens its doors this evening with a celebration that will rival the Fourth of July fireworks.
A perennial favorite for weekending travelers from New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Asbury’s like the Ipanema of the Jersey Shore: gays in banana hammocks sunbathing, sipping cocktails, and grabbing meat sandwiches alongside legions of local families. And every cross-section of the community is dutifully represented—even a special tribe of Jersey juice-head homos.
