It wasn't exactly Westeros, but George R.R. Martin liked what he saw in Asbury Park.

The “Game of Thrones” author hit several spots in town as he was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame at the Paramount Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 27.

It was the first visit to Asbury Park for the Bayonne native.

“It seems very cool,” said Martin of Asbury Park to the USA Today Network New Jersey. “I can't say I've seen much of it but I love the old architecture and the beach and the boardwalk.”

Martin visited the Speakeatery on Cookman Avenue over the weekend and Toast, also on Cookman, earlier this week.

He's also a fan of the local music scene.

“I love Jersey Shore music and Bruce (Springsteen), of course, I love that stuff,” said Martin, wearing a black Greek fisherman's hat. "I love 'Glory Days.'“

Martin, a long-time resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is expected to release “The Winds of Winter,” the sixth installment in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. "Game of Thrones" is based on "A Song of Ice and Fire."

HBO has just announced that it will air a "Game of Thrones" spin-off called "House of the Dragon,' which Martin will co-executive produce.

Other inductees for the new Hall of Fame class included Southside Johnny Lyon; the Smithereens; TV personality Martha Stewart; “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander; Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez; restaurateur, musician, philanthropist Tim McLoone; long-time Star-Ledger sports columnist Jerry Izenberg; and “Jaws” author Peter Benchley, who went in posthumously.
