Belmar

After doing a top 10 list for Ocean County, NJ, my inbox and DMs were flooded with recommendations for towns just a little further north. How's it going, Monmouth County?

I put together the top 15 spots that I am most thankful for in Belmar/ Lake Como. Most places are restaurants, but there are some unique spots in the mix. I am a proud local! Let me know what you think, tap to see...

I was recently enjoying a late-night boardwalk run and I noticed a handful of beautiful Belmar Christmas displays! I ended up driving around the entire town taking pictures. So, below are my 20 favorite Christmas displays in Belmar, New Jersey...

I love seeing businesses opening and expanding. It's all about taking chances and doing what you love to do. With that, a BIG congratulations to Coffee Surf Co! The beloved Belmar coffee shop will be adding a new location inside the Red Bank Circus Foodtown. Click for an update!

Lake Como is also the home to the best Mexican Restaurant in Monmouth County. I understand that is a bold statement but I'm standing by it, here's why...

I was so happy to see a Jersey business stick up for their employees by making a statement that customers can't miss before walking in.

I am so excited and very thankful to be working with the Monmouth County SPCA! This is a great opportunity for all of us to come together and help save thousands of homeless animals in New Jersey.

While walking in my new neighborhood, I saw the building that seems to be a curse for all ex-Belmar/ Lake Como businesses. Some stay long and some don't. Unfortunately, the building on 1602 Main Street is like a revolving door. It's sad, but I have hope!

Eating out is my absolute favorite hobby! When a new and unique place comes to the Jersey Shore I'm already putting on my bib. LOL now that's an image...who wears a bib? Anyway, Kevin Newberg is bringing us a Montreal beef and poutine joint in Belmar and locals are licking their chops!

I am so excited and very thankful to be working with the Monmouth County SPCA! This is a great opportunity for all of us to come together and help save thousands of homeless animals in New Jersey...

A BIG congratulations to Berg's Smoked Meat & Poutine for setting up shop on Main Sreet. Berg's has been selling out of a ghost kitchen in Asbury Park, now they will be bringing their talents to Belmar. Their time in Belmar will be similar to working out of a "ghost kitchen" but now Berg's will have the opportunity to offer dine-in & takeout!

I am excited and very thankful to be working with the Monmouth County SPCA! This is a great opportunity for all of us to come together and help save thousands of homeless animals in New Jersey!
