There are plenty of places to go for lunch downtown in AP. Red Fusion, Taka,
Sister Sue's, Be Green and Carmine's all serve lunch. There's a choice between
fat or healthy, alcohol or not, and a range of prices too. So what's the
problem? Simple. Parking. Givne 1/2 hour or 45 minutes for lunch people are
always going to Clancy's where they know for certain they will get a parking
space... it may be all the way down at Burger King end of the lot, but they
will find a space to park in a parking lot that seems safer than any parking
space one can find in Asbury Park. Lunch time visitors can not afford 15
minutes of hunting for a parking space.
Some will say "there's parking on Lake." Others will say there's parking in the
500 block of Cookman. Guess what... visitors to the town don't care to
experiment. It's human nature. Show them where the parking is. Make it appear
safe (heck it doesn't even have to BE safe) and make sure that time after time
there is plenty of parking and they will come.
Old Man Raffertys will die for lunch too regardless of how good they are if the
parking issues are not resolved.
