FABULOUS FOOD EVENTS
Why limit yourself to one restaurant when you can sample several of
the best? The Sip & Savor listing in the Events section of this guide
includes more than 30 tasting events, restaurant dining programs and
food festivals.
Fantastic food events continue throughout the year. Swoon over
March’s Chocolate Lover’s Weekend in Ocean Grove. Shuttle across
Belmar to sample more than 30 restaurants offering different cuisines
and dining options on the Belmar Restaurant Tour in March. Look for
restaurant tours in Asbury Park, Atlantic Highlands and Bradley Beach.
