Blue Pig Tavern At Congress Hall<br />
By day or by night, inside or out, this is a place where the food and the vibe are irresistible.<br />
WHERE IS IT? At famous old Congress Hall.<br />
WHY SHOULD I GO? Feast on signature<br />
American tavern fare, while enjoying the simple<br />
pleasure of a meal prepared from scratch.<br />
The menu utilizes local seafood plus fruits,<br />
veggies, eggs and Berkshire pig from Beach Plum<br />
Farm, located on an idyllic 62-acre sprawl less<br />
than two miles away, in West <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong>.<br />
On sunny days, the Blue Pig Tavern’s lush<br />
garden patio is a great spot to start your day with<br />
a breakfast of, say, the signature Eggs Blackstone,<br />
one of the healthy bowls (acai and overnight oats<br />
are among the highlights) or one of the famous<br />
Breakfast Skillets — the Blue Pig Tavern Skillet<br />
combines hash brown casserole, fried eggs, red<br />
peppers, onions, scallions and chorizo for a spicy<br />
kick.<br />
Sipping a farm-fresh juice from Beach Plum<br />
will boost your vitamin intake as well as your<br />
mood — beets and carrots boast seriously<br />
therapeutic benefits.<br />
Later in the day, linger over lunch as you sip<br />
a cool drink, people-watch and indulge in classic<br />
American comfort food.<br />
Inside, each of the Blue Pig’s dining areas<br />
provide a different mood. One has an airy garden<br />
feel with a large skylight. The second evokes a<br />
classic tavern, with vintage-style mirrors. Here,<br />
large banquettes lend a warm, cozy feel.<br />
There is also a beautiful enclosed porch in<br />
case it’s a little too chilly for the garden patio.<br />
On crisp or chilly evenings in spring, fall or<br />
winter, the magnificent fireplace in the Blue Pig<br />
Tavern comes alive.<br />
