New Jersey beaches reopened this weekend. But COVID-19 and bad weather still kept many away from the boardwalks, where businesses are struggling to reopen and stay alive.

We check in with Marilyn Schlossbach, who owns Langosta Lounge and other restaurants in Asbury Park, New Jersey. She's also chairwoman of the New Jersey Restaurant and Hospitality Association.

This segment aired on May 25, 2020.
