30 days... the best of the jersey cape
If you’re like me when I go on vacation, your thoughts drift towards where you’re going to eat while on vacation and specifically those meals which are considered the special ones.
Let me remind you of a few of the best places to dine while vacationing at the Jersey Cape. Of course everybody knows the Lobster House in Cape May and rightly so, but there are many other great places. The open air dining and awesome sunsets at Harpoon Henry’s in North Cape May are worth a trip to the Delaware Bay side of the Cape. If you want the watch the Phillies game while enjoying a great menu selection, then go to the Dog Tooth Bar & Grill in Wildwood and the same goes for the Concord Café in Avalon.
You can walk the docks of Bay front Wildwood before you enjoy a variety great food traditions at Urie’s, The Boathouse or Beach Creek Oyster Bar & Grille.
As for one of those special dinners I mentioned and for especially the adults, you should try Marie Nicole’s in Wildwoods Crest where you can choose from a great list of wines to accompany your meal. If you’re in Cape May then it’s the Union Park Dining Room where Chef John Schatz invites you to sample his creations. If you want to keep it more casual, then go to Cabanas or Martini Beach in Cape May or the North End Grill in North Wildwood.
If you can’t choose between breakfast, lunch or dinner try the Mad Batter in Cape May because they do them all with distinction. One last thought….if you’re looking for a fun dessert place, stop in Bonnie’s Toppings in Cape May, Avalon or Stone Harbor to build your own!
