Yes Ninny's book is/was huge here in Monmouth and Ocean Counites at the Shore. I think the first time it got jammed up was when I was still back in High School in like 2003/2004ish I wanna say with Little Larry Dentico who was in Seaside Park at the time. It is/was a massive and lucrative sportsbook, always has been.
Ninny loved Jimmy's in Asbury. If you read his obituary his family is actually going to throw a party for him there when all this pandemic craziness is in the rearview. Jimmy's is a great old school red sauce joint, I reccomend it. The bar there is cool to grab a drink at before you sit down to eat because of the huge trays of antipasto they throw out onto the bar for free to munch on and theres always a fun crowd there.
Ninny has a son thats gotta be in his 40s or early 50s that grew up here at the shore, I dont know if he was involved in his Father's sportsbook but an operation like that just doesnt go away over night. I wonder who got that sportsbook.
Sounds great, Shore. I’ll put in a visit when I’m free to travel. Is it a safe town though? Did not look like it after a quick google search
Asbury Park is pretty dirty, but I've never had a problem there safety wise. Stay by the boardwalk (which Jimmy's is a 5 minute drive from) and you're good to go. The area itself is a heavy gay community along with blacks. But, during the summer at least, tons of people from all over Monmouth are there for food and the beach.
Like most places when it comes to geographics... the closer you are to the beach =the nicer of an area it is... the further inland you go.. the worse it gets... I think that’s accurate for most places... as for asbury it seems to have been getting more young/liberal/lgbtq(sorry if I left any out, I can’t keep up) but anyways the 3 different people I know who grew up in asbury all said the same shit... it’s nice overall especially by the beach, yet once you go west over the train tracks it gets noticeably worse.. all towns have their good and bad parts.. my hometown overall is nice.. but on my side of the freeway was considered the “rougher” side, especially if you where white, (which I am) and I grew up across the street from the only government housing projects in my town... drive 5 10 minutes over the freeway and to the north and there’s a neighborhood that brittney Spears lived in for a while...
