Together With

Good morning Monmouth County! A faithful Monmouth Buzz subscriber earned herself a shoutout today by referring three friends. And as if sharing the gift of the Buzz wasn’t selfless enough, she decided to gift her shoutout to her friends at Wild Air Beerworks in Asbury Park. We featured Wild Air Beerworks recently when they hosted the Ugly Pancake Comedy Festival. They make great beer and host great events including some really cool live music acts. You’re sure to see a lot more of them in Buzz issues to come. Check them out!!

Let’s go!

🍔 FOOD & 🍹 DRINK

🥩 Lenny’s Main St. Market (Manasquan)

Beloved Point Pleasant-based gourmet market Lenny’s Colonial Ranch is expanding into Monmouth County with its third location, called Lenny's Main Street Market, which will take over the former Rite-Aid space on Main Street in Manasquan, aiming to fill the grocery void left by the closure of Acme in 2020. The new 10,000-square-foot market will offer a full butcher shop, groceries, a deli, a seafood section, and a bakery, echoing the amenities of their other locations in Point Pleasant and Toms River. While an official opening date has not been set, they’re reportedly expecting to be open by the new year.
