Where We’re Eating<br />

Here’s what the EZ team were chowing on this week<br />

View<br />

RESTAURANT, MARINA & BAR<br />

We are strictly following<br />

New Jersey’s COVID guidelines!<br />

Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe<br />

even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />

dining establishments. Everything is a little different, but getting<br />

a little less different now that we have outdoor dining. But, in the<br />

interests of the public, we are still getting takeout from our local<br />

restaurants to give you the gastronomic lowdown.<br />

The place: The brand-new Vintage restaurant, nestled in the very<br />

elegant grounds of the very elegant Emlen Physick Estate, Cape May’s<br />

only Victorian house museum and home of Cape May MAC, which<br />

rebranded itself after being known as Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts<br />

and Humanities for four decades. A much more nifty name, to be sure.<br />

The gang: Vintage is operated by the same peeps who are responsible<br />

for, take a breath, George’s Place, YB and Shamone in Cape May, plus<br />

Voted<br />

Scola and another George’s Place in Cape May Court House, or COHO<br />

as the cool kids call it. The miracle is that, despite having all these busy<br />

THE BEST<br />

restaurants, we always manage to bump into the same cool people who<br />

Happy Hour<br />

run these joints — Kate, Nikos, Yianni, Pete etc. We’re not sure how they<br />

do it since successfully cloning human beings isn’t really a thing yet.<br />

in NJ!<br />

The vibe: There is seating inside, but you can see these guys are<br />

hanging their hat on outdoor seating, even without the menace of COVID<br />

hanging over us. And you can’t blame them. Sitting under a tastefully<br />

lit canopy, gazing over gardens and beautiful Victorian architecture is a<br />

Our outside deck is pretty rocking outdoor experience.<br />

The food: We liked the size of the menu — seven starters and six<br />

mains. That might seem minimalist, but they packed a lot of sexy<br />

now open daily!<br />

options in there.Jack ordered, for his starter, Los Pollos Hermanos, which<br />

translates to the “Chicken Brothers” but which is actually a buffalo-baked<br />

9:00am - 10:00 pm<br />

chicken roll. For his main, it had to be Wild Boar Bolognaise because he<br />

can’t resist papardelle pasta, and, let’s face it, wild boar with manchego<br />

cheese is pretty good. Tastier than the much less exciting domestic boar.<br />

Diane chose the Crimson Watermelon and the Sesame-Encrusted Ahi<br />

See our menu on Facebook<br />

The run-in: We chatted with both the aforementioned Nikos<br />

or call 609-884-5444<br />

(Goutzouris) and Pete (Karapanagiotis). Later, Jody Alessandrine, who<br />

took over the helm of Cape May MAC in March, stopped by to say hello<br />

954 OCEAN DRIVE, CAPE MAY<br />

and to tell us the lighthouse was reopening. Good news!<br />

The takeaway: For years, the only eating option at the Physick Estate<br />

609-884-5444 ¯ HarborViewCapeMay.com was a tearoom. Vintage is a seriously sexy upgrade on that.<br />

Ramblings From The Editor<br />

Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends... by Jack Wright<br />

Growing up in Scotland, and being<br />

treated to a very regular cycle of<br />

horizontal rain and overwhelming<br />

cloudiness, I always (like many of<br />

my fellow Scots, and Brits in general)<br />

got giddily excited by the prospect of eating<br />

outdoors. This only really happened during<br />

trips abroad — for Brits, that typically meant<br />

Spain, Portugal or Greece.<br />

When I moved to the States in 1998,<br />

I loved, more than anything, those balmy<br />

nights eating and drinking at curbside tables<br />

in Manhattan. I’ve never lost that thrill. Which<br />

is why the streets of Cape May right now are a<br />

treat for my Scottish soul.<br />

It’s one of very few silver linings to the<br />

COVID pandemic. And I congratulate the<br />

city councilmembers and city manager for<br />

reacting quickly and imaginatively in helping<br />

restaurant owners to try and reclaim something<br />

from this disastrous year.<br />

Life still generally sucks for store owners,<br />

especially those who are unable to make much<br />

from online sales. But I’m going to concentrate<br />

on the positives. How cool do those<br />

little tents look on Decatur, brimming with<br />

customers from the Mug, Fins and Stewart’s? I<br />

love what the Merion Inn did with their gravel<br />

parking lot, and it’s cool to see tables spread<br />

over the lawn at the Inn of Cape May.<br />

And while it’s great to see outdoor<br />

tables at Carney’s, Nick Filet, The YB and<br />

Taco Caballito Tequileria (love their food, but<br />

dear lord, that 11-syllable name kills me),<br />

those concrete crash barriers and giant yellow<br />

drums aren’t easy on the eyes. I would love<br />

to have seen the city close off that section of<br />

Beach Avenue entirely.<br />

In fact, I’m hoping that councilmembers<br />

are already thinking what I’m sure a lot of us<br />

have been mulling this past week... can we do<br />

something like this every year? It adds a little<br />

European flair and gourmet sophistication to<br />

the streets of Cape May.<br />

Sure, there would be a loss in parking<br />

meter income, but I have no doubt that every<br />

restaurant owner who could add outdoor<br />

seating would happily pay thousands every<br />

year for the privilege.<br />

Speaking of parking, I am a little worried<br />

about how difficult it will be to find spaces in<br />

July and especially August because of these<br />

changes. So I’m wondering if now might be<br />

the time to seriously consider the idea of a<br />

parking garage, while greatly expanding the<br />

opportunity to enjoy outdoor dining in this<br />

wonderful little city by the sea.<br />

I’m off now... to enjoy dinner al fresco!<br />

Undertow<br />

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />

What up, homies? If my spirits seem<br />

brighter this week it’s because I<br />

just spent the weekend singing<br />

for live people for the first time<br />

since March 16 and I’m also probably<br />

still drunk from all the Tito’s I had last<br />

night. Ironically, I cannot have potatoes on my<br />

low-carb diet, but I can drink a drink derived<br />

from potatoes because it has low carbs. The<br />

mind boggles. Anyway, I wasn’t real sure how<br />

singing on the ramp was going to go, but it’s<br />

been just great. Except for all that sunshine and<br />

fresh air. Gross. This week the Exit Zero Home<br />

for Wayward Musicians will host Les DeRose,<br />

Gregg Carpenter, Nancy Malcun and The<br />

Honeyhawks before Tim and I (TNT Acoustic)<br />

hog it for the weekend. Swing on by!<br />

When I started writing this stupid column<br />

in 2003 (or 2004, I’m never certain), I got a lot<br />

of angry emails. EZ owner Jack Wright told me,<br />

“Terry, you get so much flack because people<br />

are jealous.” (At least, I think that’s what he said.<br />

With that accent he could have been giving me<br />

a recipe for shepherd’s pie and I wouldn’t know<br />

it.) They’re also not as good (or humble) as me.<br />

As I? Anyway, the same appears to be true of<br />

the Facebook Indignation Squad (admittedly,<br />

it’s a tiny group) and their criticism of our funky<br />

cool gas station tiki bar. We’re sorry, oh mighty<br />

Keyboard Warriors, that you don’t run the hippest<br />

joint in town. If you did, you could do<br />

whatever you wanted with it — chocolate fountain,<br />

limbo contest, torch twirling. Whatever.<br />

We decided to open a cool little spot for food,<br />

drink and live music that 100s of people filtered<br />

through this weekend. So stick it. Also? There’s<br />

THIS IS A TEST.<br />

(MULTIPLE CHOICE.)<br />

1. SHOP IN STORE 2. PORCH SIDE PICK UP 3. FREE Local Delivery<br />

no rule that says you have to come, just know<br />

that everyone who does is better than you.<br />

Once you realize this, things should go easier<br />

for you. Jake.<br />

Karen Update: Apparently part of what set<br />

off last week’s Karen was my reference to our<br />

“hard-working, incredibly attractive staff” on<br />

our Exit Zero voice message. I sort of get it, but<br />

look, I’m not gonna lie to people — we’re all<br />

incredibly attractive.<br />

Sanpelligrino Limonatta is G D delicious.<br />

Also, after just downing three of them, I discovered<br />

they’re super carb-y. Like, bad. This is why<br />

I can’t have nice things… (But if you don’t have<br />

a weight problem, grab some of these bad boys.)<br />

I’ve been fat a long time now, which is<br />

why I feel so dumb it took me this long to discover<br />

pants with drawstrings instead of zippers<br />

and buttons. PANTS WITH DRAWSTRINGS<br />

INSTEAD OF ZIPPERS AND BUTTONS. Out<br />

there… this whole time… and I never knew…<br />

(Bangs forehead into wall repeatedly.)<br />

is filling out nicely. I just kind of<br />

shave from the tragus (the little<br />

flap in your ear that you probably<br />

didn’t know had a name) down<br />

to my jawline and clean up the<br />

neck. I also hit the cheeks because<br />

otherwise 85% of my face would<br />

be beard and I’d look like that cake<br />

guy from Food Network. As for<br />

my weight, after a VERY up-anddown<br />

week that saw me creep back<br />

over 240 (Wednesday I shame ate<br />

an Uncle Bill’s breakfast sandwich<br />

and hosed half a ham-and-cheese<br />

classic and bag of Herr’s before<br />

bed) I was able to course-correct<br />

and weigh in Sunday at 236. That’s<br />

1lb lighter than last week and -16lb<br />

overall. I am doing this for several<br />

reasons — I’d like to live as long as<br />

possible, I’d like to look as good as<br />

possible, but mostly I want to get<br />

lighter than Jack because I know it<br />

will make him feel awful. I am 2.5lb<br />

away from doing just that.<br />

David Walter popped in to the<br />

EZFS gift shop for a magazine the<br />

other day. I said, “Flip to page 21<br />

for a column by our handsome,<br />

young writer, Terry O’Brien.” He<br />

responded, “Young and handsome?<br />

I’d like to meet him some<br />

day.” BAM. Roasted.<br />

Sweetheart of the Week: Ben<br />

Cohen made his eagerly awaited<br />

return to Cape May on Saturday<br />

and handed me an envelope with<br />

a card in it upon which he wrote<br />

some of the nicest things anyone’s<br />

ever said to me (and Tim,<br />

and Cathrine, but mostly me…).<br />

It was full of wit, pathos and, most<br />

importantly, CASH. (The money<br />

was nice, but the words would have<br />

been enough. To be clear, I’m keeping<br />

the money. Love ya, Ben!)<br />

New Best Friend of the Week:<br />

Johnny Rodriguez (along with his<br />

fetching bride, Ashley) spent most<br />

of last weekend at our tiki bar. We<br />

swapped nerd credentials (we<br />

both love Star Trek, comic books<br />

and Orson Scott Card novels) and<br />

my understanding.<br />

There’s no reason anyone on<br />

Earth should care about this, but<br />

we received simultaneous calls<br />

from Copiers Plus last Thursday.<br />

(Listen, this column doesn’t just<br />

write itself…)<br />

Found a station rerunning my<br />

favorite 90s sitcom, Newsradio, an<br />

underappreciated gem that has<br />

aged fairly well. Dave Foley, Maura<br />

Tierney, Joe Rogen, Andy Dick,<br />

Stephen Root… just an amazing<br />

cast. But, like The Office stuck<br />

around too long after Steve Carell<br />

left, Newsradio should have hung<br />

it up when Phil Hartman passed.<br />

So this bad assorange and<br />

black McLaren pulls in for gas last<br />

week. I asked Cary, our gas station<br />

manager, whose car it was. She<br />

says, “Some old white guy.” A few<br />

minutes later a man of about 30<br />

emerged from Sunset Liquors, paid<br />

for his gas and left in the McLaren.<br />

Thirty. “Old.” I suddenly feel very<br />

dusty. (Also, it was apparently<br />

this McLaren that led police on<br />

a high-speed chase down Sunset<br />

Boulevard later that day. Man, I<br />

wish I was that cool…)<br />

Free Advice of the Week: We<br />

here at Exit Zero Filling Station are<br />

currently figuring out, on the fly,<br />

how to run, in essence, our fourth<br />

different restaurant in the last four<br />

months. Ninety-eight percent of<br />

the time this effort is seamless and<br />

unnoticed because our kitchen and<br />

management team do an excellent<br />

job adapting and overcoming.<br />

The ducks who appear calm on<br />

the surface while paddling like hell<br />

below. One percent of the time<br />

we are humans who make human<br />

mistakes. And one percent of the<br />

time shit happens that we can’t<br />

control. But I promise you, no one<br />

wants you to get your food or drink<br />

faster than we do, and if you find<br />

yourself cursing out a server, manager<br />

or owner because you had to<br />

wait longer than anticipated (or<br />

he eventually got up and played a because you ignored our instructions<br />

It seems like if you want to make a movie<br />

these days, it may be good to stay away<br />

from the name Artemis.<br />

Hotel Artemis (2018) stars Jodie<br />

Foster, Jeff Goldblum and a number of<br />

other well-known actors. This should have<br />

been a quirky, fresh, stylish, dark and futuristic<br />

flick. It fell short of that mark.<br />

Foster plays the head nurse at a hotel in<br />

Los Angeles that has been converted with<br />

state-of-the-art medical equipment. The year<br />

is 2028 and the “hotel“ is really meant for<br />

underground crime lords (who must be members).<br />

Our head nurse has a few simple rules<br />

— no weapons, no non-members, and probably<br />

the most interesting rule of all – don’t kill<br />

the other patients.<br />

The premise has great promise. The art<br />

direction is outstanding. The scenes are beautifully<br />

set up and the characters are strange<br />

enough to work. Somehow, in the end, it just<br />

doesn’t hold together. It’s good — you might<br />

not be turned off in the middle — but at the<br />

end you’ll shrug your shoulders and wonder<br />

The Movie Column<br />

By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />

how it could’ve been better.<br />

The other Artemis is one from Disney.<br />

Artemis Fowl is a children’s book that I’ve never<br />

read — full disclosure here. This film has a<br />

militant underground fairy Corp. — stay with<br />

me on this — undercover-criminal spies, and<br />

a dome that stops time for everyone under it.<br />

So there is enough confusion to go around.<br />

Dame Judi Dench plays a commander<br />

fairy. She walks around barking orders in full<br />

costume fairy regalia, pointy ears — the whole<br />

bit. You can’t help but think what must be<br />

going on inside of her head. Something along<br />

the lines of “My agent is going to hear from me<br />

about this one!”<br />

No, I don’t read any of the celebrity tabloids<br />

or watch the TV shows to know whether<br />

she wanted to do this movie or not. Colin<br />

Firth is also in this movie. So it’s not without<br />

its star power, but it is without a sense of<br />

direction and clear storytelling either. And<br />

with a budget of nearly $130 million, you kind<br />

of wonder why.<br />

Apparently, if you love the book, you were<br />

disappointed that the movie didn’t stay true.<br />

If you don’t know the book, you’re still somewhat<br />

in the dark as the plot unfolds. And<br />

the MacGuffin in the film — you know, the<br />

movie term for that object everybody’s chasing<br />

down — well they might as well just call<br />

it a MacGuffin. It had that much thought<br />

behind it.<br />

So a couple “Artemis” films to avoid. Not<br />

sure this name will be trending in Hollywood.<br />

The Old Fogey<br />

Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur<br />

OPEN DAILY<br />

BREAKFAST LUNCH DINNER<br />

Reserve a seat for outdoor dining, or order takeaway from your favorite beachside hideaway.<br />

Select from Rusty Nail favorites including our Baja grilled fish tacos, Buffalo chicken wings,<br />

deep fried mac-n-cheese balls, pre-mixed cocktails, and much more.<br />

I<br />

am often asked: “Where do you go on<br />

vacation?” I always respond: “Living in<br />

Cape May IS a vacation!” I follow that<br />

with some good advice, which depends<br />

upon whom I am addressing, but tends<br />

to be along the line of, “Get a haircut and<br />

wear spats!” or, “Button that tunic, laddie!” and<br />

sometimes, “You’re a mess! Leave town!”<br />

But truly, where DOES one go for a break<br />

from Cape May? I do take 14 days’ “anti-cation”<br />

every year, just to give me an added appreciation<br />

for Cape May upon my return. Some years<br />

Young Albert and I board our decommissioned<br />

fast-attack boat The Edge of Reason and motor<br />

up the coast in search of pirates (I say “pirates”,<br />

when I actually mean “anyone we take a dislike<br />

to”) and run them ashore/send them to<br />

the bottom/draw alongside and shout hurtful<br />

things, depending on our mood. Once, we had<br />

a perfectly lovely time sitting just offshore of<br />

Wildwood, snorkeling, sunbathing and shelling.<br />

What’s that? No, no, whyever would I want<br />

seashells? I mean shelling stray Wildwoodians<br />

with the rather nice two-inch gun on the bow.<br />

I have also taken in all of the world’s capitals,<br />

expecting to be awed, but all were disappointing<br />

compared to home. The Forbidden City?<br />

Not a patch on the Admiral Hotel. Edinburgh<br />

Castle? An anthill compared to The Marquis<br />

De Lafayette hotel. The New York Times building?<br />

have they even SEEN the Exit Zero offices?<br />

If so, they would not dare call themselves a<br />

newspaper. And every time, whether I have<br />

returned by motor car, aeroplane, hot air balloon<br />

or in a crate (my expedition to Borneo did<br />

not go well), I have taken a deep breath of sea<br />

air and been glad to be home.<br />

Oh, this city is not perfect, not at all: I have<br />

a love-hate relationship with Shoebies, as you<br />

know (they adore me for my gentlemanly ways<br />

and formal dress, and I despise them all), I am<br />

not at peace with the notion that people should<br />

purchase homes here and then leave them<br />

empty for nine months of the year (I am thinking<br />

of restarting the much-loved-but-troubled<br />

“Wicker Man” festival whereby good fortune<br />

and a fine harvest were guaranted by the sacrifice<br />

of whichever maroon tooted his BMW<br />

horn at me when I was crossing the street).<br />

But for all of Cape May’s faults (I counted<br />

three: two are above, the third is a person reading<br />

this newspaper who knows who he/she is),<br />

I walk the boundaries every day, breathe in the<br />

scent of the sea, and realize that when one tires<br />

of Cape May, one tires of life. This is actually<br />

quite handy, because we take a dim view of<br />

people who are critical of Cape May, and kill<br />

them on the spot.<br />

There’s a reason so many Cape May souvenirs<br />

feature bicycles — the best way<br />

to explore Cape May is by bike. Not<br />

only is the town flat enough for easy<br />

riding, it’s also pretty, and it changes<br />

constantly, so there is always something new<br />

to look at. There’s also something nice about<br />

using a machine associated with the Victorian<br />

era to explore our Victorian town. And, because<br />

most adult bikes are just about six feet long, you<br />

can use them to estimate safe social distance,<br />

which comes in handy these days.<br />

Take a short ride around your hotel’s<br />

neighborhood, or a more ambitious ride out<br />

to Cape May County Park, to Historic Cold<br />

Spring Village for a curbside brewery pickup,<br />

or to the ferry terminal. Plan out a route in<br />

advance, or just drive around and check out<br />

things like construction projects — local contractors<br />

are surely accustomed to a steady<br />

stream of amateur foremen silently assessing<br />

their work. Look at houses for sale and dream<br />

your dreams. Rent a stylish beach cruiser and<br />

ask a friend to do a photo shoot for your social<br />

media. Pick out the stores you’d like to pop into<br />

when the days of popping in return. Soon, there<br />

will be garage sales to scout.<br />

Avoid parking hassles by biking to your<br />

outdoor dining experience or to run errands.<br />

Pick up your books at the library — curbside<br />

pickup is coming soon. Bike to this year’s version<br />

of East Lynne’s “Tales of the Victorians.”<br />

Stories will be told in backyards instead of on<br />

porches, every Thursday at 4 p.m., through<br />

August 13. Reservations are required and attendance<br />

is limited to 10 — call 609-884-5898 or<br />

email eastlynneco@aol.com. Admission is $5<br />

at the “door” and free for guests under 12. Wear<br />

masks and maintain social distance. No food<br />

or drink will be served, but you may bring your<br />

own beverage. No restrooms will be available.<br />

On rainy days, you can listen to the stories on<br />

YouTube.<br />

If you’d like a more organized ride, Curious<br />

Cape May bike tours should reopen soon —<br />

curiouscapemay.com for more information.<br />

The city of Cape May offers a free bike map on<br />

capemaycity.com with information and tips for<br />

bikers — where to rent a bike, and where you<br />

can find a public restroom — they are generally<br />

open from about 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The promenade<br />

is open to bikes from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. —<br />

and if you think you’ll have the place to yourself<br />

at 4, you’re underestimating the energy of the<br />

town’s early birds. Bring your mask and wear<br />

your helmet. Lock your bike whenever you<br />

leave it and please be patient at the crowded<br />

bike racks.<br />

Always fresh... always fun!<br />

GEMINI: You will check out David Macomber’s new-ish art studio<br />

neither raining nor is is Monday.<br />

Bird Droppings<br />

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />

It would be hard to imagine South Jersey<br />

beaches without Laughing Gulls, or<br />

the “Summer Gull,” as they are known<br />

locally. Yet at the beginning of the 20th<br />

Century, Cape May’s beaches were all<br />

but devoid of Laughing Gulls, their maniacal<br />

“Ha-Ha-Ha,” call not even a echo in the memory<br />

of bay men. The birds had been hunted<br />

to near extinction for their feathers and their<br />

eggs collected for the table. In all New Jersey,<br />

there was but a single vestigial colony in the<br />

marshes behind Wildwood.<br />

Despite their reputation for pilfering<br />

French fries, our Summer Gull is an active<br />

forager, not a born klepto. Agile enough to<br />

snap greenhead flies out of the air. This time<br />

of year, most LAGUs are found foraging on the<br />

beaches of Delaware Bay, where they patrol<br />

the water’s edge snapping up free-floating<br />

Horseshoe Crab Eggs.<br />

The other day I sat on a New Jersey beach<br />

and enjoyed the sight of 1000 Laughing Gulls<br />

lining the water’s edge. That colony is the<br />

largest in the world and the gulls deposit their<br />

eggs on floating wrack. Tide comes up, wrack<br />

rises, eggs stay dry. Pretty ingenious. The<br />

problem comes when there is an unusually<br />

high tide and chicks. With young in the water,<br />

adults are frantic, and their cries reach the<br />

level of a din. But the chicks can swim and<br />

judging by the health of today’s gull population,<br />

the gulls have matters well in hand. In<br />

fact, Laughing Gulls are expanding their range<br />

northward. Once uncommon north of Long<br />

Island, the birds are now breeding on islands<br />

off the coast of Maine.<br />

I’m inclined to believe that this northward<br />

expansion was spurred by the over harvest<br />

of horseshoe crab eggs, which led to gulls<br />

searching for another food source. And yes,<br />

I know Laughing Gulls are reviled for their<br />

French fry pilfering predilections. But taking<br />

food from the hands of people is a learned<br />

trick. The gulls do it because some band of the<br />

human spectrum thinks it’s cute to have their<br />

picture taken feeding the gulls.<br />

So, in gull country you mind your fries<br />

or lose them. Every year I get a call from at<br />

least one reporter who wants to discuss “the<br />

gull problem.” To which I reply, “that’s not a<br />

gull problem, that’s a human problem — one<br />

directly linked to our poor food husbandry<br />

practices.”<br />

So, mind your fries and do your part to<br />

keep a good gull from going bad. They’ll repay<br />

your kindness by scoffing up greenheads to<br />

feed their young who are as partial to greenhead<br />

porridge as humans are to French fries.<br />

The Answer Lady invites inquiries<br />

from gentle readers on all manner of<br />

relationship quandaries, matters of<br />

the heart and ethics. Sit back, enjoy<br />

a cup of coffee and contemplate the<br />

wisdom herein:<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />

I forgot my step-granddaughter’s birthday.<br />

She’s only two, but still. I certainly<br />

remembered her sister’s, which was six days<br />

earlier. How do you think I can make amends?<br />

And of course, I will be persona non grata with<br />

the other grandmothers. Groan!! It makes it<br />

so much worse that they live quite far, and we<br />

have not seen them since Christmas. I must<br />

confess they just are not always on my radar.<br />

— Neglectful Granny<br />

Dear Granny<br />

Well that’s a fine hornet’s nest you made<br />

for yourself. The Answer Lady takes it that you<br />

have yet to pick up the phone and acknowledge<br />

your sin of omission? That is the first step. Since<br />

the child is two, she will be blissfully unaware<br />

of the oversight and you have time before she<br />

turns 20 to make it up. The first thing you need<br />

to do is buy yourself a pretty notebook or journal<br />

at Good Scents and turn it into a birthday<br />

calendar. Back it up with your phone unless you<br />

are still using a flip phone — which the Answer<br />

Lady hopes is not the case. And start practicing<br />

your mea culpas now and make that phone<br />

call before day’s end.<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />

My wife and I would like to start visiting<br />

restaurants. In fact, our 10th anniversary is<br />

coming up. What would you suggest I buy her<br />

as I want to shop locally? Also, where would<br />

you suggest for a romantic dinner? I’ve also<br />

read that tipping has been a problem. Can you<br />

tell me what the problem is? — Anxious to Get<br />

Out<br />

Dear Anxious<br />

We applaud you for supporting local<br />

businesses. There are many options depending<br />

on taste and pocketbook. Any of Cape<br />

May’s jewelry stores would have something<br />

memorable from Henry’s to Pat Jackson’s. If<br />

you are looking for something retro, try Mary<br />

Ann’s. For dining, Cape May is so fortunate.<br />

Tisha’s has outside seating, as do most of the<br />

restaurants on the Washington Street Mall.<br />

Peter Shields on the east side of town is lovely<br />

and Sapore Italiano on the west end is a good<br />

choice as well. The Answer Lady has heard<br />

there is a delay in servers getting the tip if it is<br />

put on a credit card. We are not sure if this is<br />

accurate, but you cannot go wrong with a cash<br />

tip. Happy anniversary and bon appetit.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />

BELLA is a five-year-old, 30 lb. bundle of<br />

energy. She loves running in the yard and<br />

enjoys long walks. Bella doesn’t need constant<br />

attention and enjoys having quiet time<br />

to herself. She is uneasy with loud noises and<br />

would be best as the only pet in an active, adult<br />

household. Bella would love to be in a family<br />

that will also continue her training.<br />

MAKING TECHNOLOGY<br />

JUST WORK!<br />

CHARLIE is a very loving, nine-year-old<br />

Chocolate Lab. He has Pulmonary Artery Stenosis<br />

and passes out if overly stimulated, so he<br />

needs a quiet home. Charlie is very calm and<br />

affectionate with all people and car rides are<br />

his favorite activity. He also enjoys relaxing in<br />

the yard and is well-mannered. Charlie needs<br />

a home where he can get the care he requires.<br />

SCARLET is an energetic, young pup who<br />

came to the shelter as a stray. She is working<br />

on her leash manners and learning other<br />

behavioral cues to manage her energy. She<br />

loves chasing balls, squeaky toys and stuffed<br />

toys in the yard. Scarlet would be best if<br />

adopted by an active family with older children<br />

who are willing to continue her training.<br />
