Lobster house<br />
Fresh seafood by the docks, sipping on cool drinks, taking in the harbor scene... it’s classic <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong> dining!<br />
WHERE IS IT? You can’t miss The<br />
Lobster House. Not unless you fly<br />
into <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong> by helicopter (and<br />
even then...) or you’re sitting in the<br />
passenger seat of the car with a<br />
blindfold on as you cross the bridge.<br />
WHY SHOULD I GO? It would be<br />
like visiting Paris and leaving the Eiffel<br />
Tower off your itinerary. The Lobster<br />
House is at the heart of the harbor,<br />
the second-biggest fishing port on the<br />
eastern seaboard. It has a commercial<br />
fleet, a fish market and the busiest<br />
restaurant in town.<br />
There are many different dining<br />
options. The main restaurant comprises<br />
a number of picturesque rooms<br />
overlooking the harbor, and serves<br />
a varied menu that’s crammed with<br />
the freshest seafood, but also offers<br />
classics like prime rib, New York strip<br />
steak and various chicken dishes.<br />
Then there’s the unmissable Raw<br />
Bar, by the docks, where you can sit<br />
with a pitcher of beer, tucking into<br />
lobster and crab.<br />
The 146-foot Schooner American<br />
is a wonderful place to enjoy an outdoor<br />
cocktail and also has its own<br />
food menu.<br />
INSIDER TIP The Lobster House also<br />
has takeout and a coffee shop that’s a<br />
great breakfast spot!<br />
