Our special local food edition!

From Executive Editor Paul D'Ambrosio:

Good morning! I hope you had a pleasant week.

This week's newsletter is about food (and beer) at the Jersey Shore. Follow the links below for our guide to some of the best eats within driving distance.

You can get suggestions for dining tips in your inbox each week through our subscriber-only Jersey Shore Eats newsletter, written by our intrepid food writer, Sarah Griesemer. It's easy to sign up. Click on https://profile.app.com/newsletters/manage/ or sign in to your APP.com account and look for "newsletters" under your account name at the upper right corner.

As a subscriber, you now have access to USA TODAY and hundreds of other newspapers across the nation that are owned by Gannett. You can read today's front page or dig through the archives for past issues on APP.com.

The feature is called Universal access and can be seen on the web at APP.com. Click on E-Editon in the top black bar and then, on the right column, select "Universal" to pick out the newspaper of your choice. You may also download the "Asbury Park Press eEdition" app on your smart phone to see the same papers just as they appear on the newsstands. The eEdition app is different from the APP.com news app, but both are from the Asbury Park Press.

Get more information faster: Please consider downloading our smartphone app, if you don't have it on your device already. The Asbury Park Press app provides you with alerts for breaking news, sports and a host of other topics, plus it gives you access to all USA TODAY content. The free app can be found in the Google Play store (for Android) and App Store (for iPhone). Just search "Asbury Park Press" or click this link.

Your newspaper delivery: Inclement weather and other issues may delay home delivery of your newspaper from time to time. If you haven't received your paper on time, please call our customer service number at 800-822-9779 for redelivery or credit. If you have a persistent delivery issue, please contact Distribution Manager Jim Brown at jbrown4@gannettnj.com. Jim is a whiz at fixing problems.

Below are five stories from last week, each worth reading if you missed them the first time around.
