"There are few seafood restaurants as good as the Bonney Read in New Jersey or New York. It’s located in downtown Asbury Park in a corner space, with plenty of outdoor seating spread along its frontage on bustling Cookman Avenue. Big and extra briny, the raw oysters were harvested nearby in Barnegat Bay, and they don’t get any fresher." - Robert Sietsema
