Mornin’!

Welcome to the 200+ new subscribers who’ve joined over the past week.

If you’ve passed the old Foster’s building in Beach Haven recently, you may have noticed signs for a new restaurant and market. Kristin Brown, owner of Jersey Girl Grill, has recently opened a 2nd location in that spot. We had a chance to interview Kristin about the new space, how she got her start on the island, and what some of her favorite menu items are.

You can check out the full interview with her here!

P.S. 🥳Wishing a very Happy Birthday (on the 22nd) to Rosemary C.

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
