You're probably unaware of one of Asbury Park, NJ's top restaurants, yet it's incredible. The Jersey Shore is dotted with charming hidden gem eateries—spots you'd likely overlook unless you were actively searching. This secretiveness is part of what makes Jersey special, with remarkable places to eat and drink tucked away in plain view.
Asbury Park is full of such places. Recently, my wife and I stopped by the Blackswan for a beer and wings. We had never been there or known it existed, but enjoying a drink in a former bank was a unique experience. The wings have now earned a spot in my top ten at the Jersey Shore.
"The wings, by the way, are now on my top ten list at the Jersey Shore."
Though I don't love admitting it, I only learned about Judy and Harry's thanks to a TikTok influencer, proving some gems still need discovery.
