Asbury Park's outdoor scene is one of its most underused date assets. The Stone Pony launched Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and Southside Johnny — and still hosts national acts in one of America's most storied small venues. Pair that with a patio dinner and a rooftop wind-down and you have a date that costs less than a movie ticket and lasts all day.
