Greetings From Asbury Park: Paul McCartney, Wife Dine In The City

ASBURY PARK, NJ — Seeing famous musicians at the Jersey Shore is not exactly a surprise to most folks, what with Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi hailing from the area.

Some summers, Springsteen sightings are as frequent as fireworks displays that fill the night skies along the boardwalks at at the Lakewood BlueClaws stadium.

There are some celebrities, however, who keep a much lower profile despite their ties to Jersey. Among them: Paul McCartney.

The former Beatle was seen Sunday night in Asbury Park having dinner with his wife, Nancy Shevell, at Jimmy's Italian Restaurant on Asbury Avenue.

Shevell is reportedly from Edison and her parents own a home in Long Branch. She and McCartney, who have been married since 2011, are in the area as the former Beatle continues his "One On One" tour.

McCartney, 75, has six performances scheduled in the New York City area beginning Sept. 11 with two at the Prudential Center in Newark, followed by two at Madison Square Garden and two at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. He heads to Syracuse, NY, after that, and has stops in Uniondale, NY, and Detroit before for heading off to stops in South America and Australia.

Shevell is the vice president of the massive trucking firm New England Motor Freight (NEMF) that is headed by her father, Myron Shevell.
