Thomas Bodary, of Spring Lake, prepares to open Mayfair Boardwalk Grill on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, N.J., Sunday, May 26, 2013. The first summer season after Superstorm Sandy is underway at the Jersey shore, parts of which were devastated by the October storm. This is a brand-new Jersey Shore. While some recovery is still ongoing from Superstorm Sandy, the Jersey Shore to a very large extent has been cleaned up, rebuilt, and reopened, and it is ready for business.
