Open-air three-story restaurant pitched for Asbury Park, but where would everybody park? Charles Daye The developer, 209-213 Fourth Avenue LLC, provided an informal presentation for a proposed three-story restaurant with a separate wine shop at 201 Kingsley St., located at the intersection with Second Avenue, to the City Council at the Nov. 13 meeting. Architect Andy Trocchia said the developer's goal was to design a restaurant and bar with "a vibrant atmosphere and wonderful views of the ocean." "Almost as important, they wanted to build a building that would be another destination spot for the city of Asbury Park," Trocchia said. He added that the design takes elements from neighboring buildings, in particular the Asbury Ocean Club, "such as sleek white panels and a multitude of glass facing the ocean." Parking worries Mayor John Moor asked what the total capacity of the restaurant would be, and while the professionals did not have that number, they estimated around 300 people. "Then how many employees for a shift? Because we know you don't have to provide parking, but the applicant has an empty lot next door to us that could provide parking. Yet none is being offered and I am not saying you have to, but it would be nice to have some parking," Moor said. Developer Bill Stuckey said there would be "plus or minus 30 (employees) there for a shift" and said the neighboring vacant lot might be redeveloped with three other lots. "I realize that parking is a challenge in Asbury," Stuckey said. "I think as this city has evolved. It is not really a suburban town, it is more urban." He likened the parking situation to going to the beach or downtown around Cookman Avenue but clarified "we are not proposing to build parking." The developer would need the go ahead from the City Council to go before the Planning Board for preliminary and final approval. #asburypark #parking

NYC is building permanent outdoor dining structures. One of the most cost effective ways cafes and restuarants can increase their covers is to occupy public space such as parking spaces. Many restaurants want this retailers and others don’t. Aucklands outdoor dining fee for the city centre is $2000 per year for 10sqm. 65% more than other areas (Heart of the City). This is for footpath space not road space. This isn’t the only reason Queen Street doesn’t have any outdoor dining but it is a factor. How different would it be if Auckland encouraged street dining in the city centre and elsewhere?

End of another productive day! Bernadette finished laying the dining area floors and is working around the fireplace into the kitchen for the island. I’ve painted the architrave and ceiling with two coats, and the mist coat on the newly plastered wall is ready for blue paint tomorrow. There’s still some work ahead, but I’m really pleased with the progress—especially for first-timers! We’re nearing the halfway mark!

Sometimes, the best advice isn’t ‘sell your home’—it’s ‘make it work for you. I recently updated a few areas in my own home, and it reminded me how transformative even small changes can be. We pushed out a wall that wasn’t pulling its weight and added a stunning built-in cabinet. Next, we’re rethinking our dining room layout to make it more functional and inviting. Not every home needs to go on the market to feel like a dream home. Sometimes, a few thoughtful updates are all it takes to fall back in love with your space. I’ve had conversations with clients who weren’t sure whether to sell or stay, and I always tell them: it’s about finding what’s right for you. Whether it’s recommending a great contractor or helping someone see the potential in their current home, those moments of honest advice often mean the most. Do you agree?

How do you #repurpose a unique, custom built restaurant? Like, for instance, the iconic #AFrame buildings that were developed during the 1960s and 1970s for the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) The #IHOP founders chose an A-Frame building design with a rectangular floor plan and sloped blue roofs as the #restaurant chain's real estate prototype because it was recognizable and invoked “homey” vibes Hundreds of A-Frame IHOPs were developed throughout the country, everywhere from dense urban areas to suburbs and small towns And even though it has been 45 years since the last A-Frame IHOP building was developed, dozens are still in use today as an IHOP But others have been converted into different restaurants — or even via #adaptivereuse — into nail salons, medical offices and retail stores ⬇
