Hanukkah in Asbury Park

I have to say, I don't think I've really written about any restaurants in Asbury Park or Atlantic City or elsewhere in the shore area. I could, but I haven't.

But today I received an email from Restaurant Plan B on Cookman Ave in Asbury Park. They are going to have a Hanukkah Dinner on Sunday, December 21.


Dear Friends and Family,
There are lots of great things going on here in Asbury Park for the holiday season. Now is the time to come out and support these great events.Here at Plan B we have a Hanukkah Dinner Sunday, December 21 at 6pm 18.00per person (reservations suggested).
We still have openings for New Year's Eve, 75.00 per person for a 5 course dinner, and live music from Andrew Holtz. Dinner will be served from 7pm until 10:30pm. Also, don't forget we will be open New Year's Day for our great brunch. 10am - 3 pm.

Hanukkah in Asbury Park. Given that my Bar Mitzvah was at was once the Congregation Sons of Israel on Asbury Ave - seems like yesterday. A Blue polyester suit from Robert Hall and a Cantor so strict- somehow I did it. More or less, right or wrong, it was the last "real" religious experience I've had. So when I get an email from Restaurant Plan B with their holiday announcements my mouth begins to water.

I just wonder if it's as good as my mothers.
