• Why NJ's Tiny Oyster Stand That Became a Foodie Favorite Won't Reopen This Summer (njmonthly.com) — Sweet Amalia Market & Kitchen in Newfield, a nationally acclaimed oyster-focused spot, will stay closed for the 2026 summer season because of ongoing Pinelands-related septic and seating approvals. The team says takeout-only service no longer fits what visitors expect and is holding off reopening until they can add limited indoor seating, while the connected oyster farm and tours continue operating.
