Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on<br />
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked<br />
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served<br />
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.<br />
The place: The Lookout at Ferry Park. The restaurant on the second<br />
floor of the Cape May ferry terminal began offering brunch a few weeks<br />
ago and it’s been a hit. From the tasty food to the wild bloody mary recipes,<br />
there’s a lot to talk about.<br />
The vibe: It was a Saturday afternoon and a packed house. Courtney<br />
and her gang, Jeff, Matt and Darren — the same group who brought<br />
you their Cricket Club experience a few columns ago — really lived it<br />
up this weekend and are back to tell you more! It was rainy which made<br />
the views a bit grey, but still breathtaking with waves rippling across the<br />
Delaware Bay and the ferry heading in and out of the dock. The food was<br />
coming out quick, drinks quicker, and there was much to be enjoyed.<br />
The drinks: Now let’s talk about those wild bloody mary recipes,<br />
and a few other cocktails. Courtney enjoyed the Mary Mary Quite Contrary<br />
— a green tomato bloody mary with southern spices — Darren<br />
started with the Lookout Mary (Here I Come) — this classic bloody has<br />
clam juice and is topped with everything but the kitchen sink — and Jeff<br />
went for the Peach and Basil Bellini. They then moved on to Death in the<br />
Afternoon, Black Coffee in Bed and the Tea and Toast which is served in<br />
cute little teapots for the table — great for a cute little pic. Definitely a<br />
hair-of-the-dog kind of day, and very well spent.<br />
The food: Everyone went for the Croque Madame aside from Courtney<br />
who couldn’t pass on the Salmon Hash. They took it a step further<br />
and ordered an Avocado Toast and Stuffed French Toast with a fresh<br />
blackberry filling. The group finished strong and are looking forward<br />
to the next visit — especially because the stuffed French toast filling<br />
changes regularly, offering a pleasant surprise each time.<br />
The takeaway: The Lookout is open for dinner Thu-Fri 4-7pm and<br />
for brunch and dinner Sat-Sun 11am-7pm. Walk-ins are welcome, and<br />
reservations are recommended for larger parties. Enjoy the views and<br />
try the bloody marys — no two are the same and the presentation will<br />
have you pulling your phone out to snap a photo immediately.

Undertow<br />
Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
As mentioned prior, barring an<br />
unforeseen change of circumstance,<br />
this will be my final Undertow. Ever?<br />
Well, I never say never (I worked at<br />
Elaine’s three times, for crying out<br />
loud, and they hate me over there), but it’s<br />
hard to envision a scenario in which I return.<br />
But we can get into that a bit later. For now,<br />
let’s enjoy one more collection of semi-mundane<br />
observations and Grade-A dad jokes<br />
before we say goodbye. (Which is going to be<br />
hard enough to do without people like Maddie<br />
Hogan randomly popping up on my Facebook<br />
telling me how much they like me… let’s keep<br />
it professional, shall we? Sniff, sniff, HONK!)<br />
It was so cold last Friday night I saw<br />
Jussie Smollet out looking for a Subway.<br />
Not one, but TWO members of the Cape<br />
Harbor Shell crew (Steve Bistak and Jerry<br />
Mancuso) asked me which door was sticky a<br />
few weeks back. You just can’t teach this level<br />
of customer service — you’re just born with it.<br />
(Door was still a little sticky — I’m not telling<br />
them which door, though, and this being my<br />
last column it will just have to haunt them<br />
through eternity.)<br />
I don’t want to say Cathrine is superdrugged<br />
up from her shoulder injury, but on<br />
Christmas Eve she brushed her teeth with Ben<br />
Gay. (Many, many thanks to those of you who<br />
have reached out with your good thoughts.)<br />
Since my wife was waylaid with injury,<br />
and we had to wait for some checks to clear<br />
before we could go Christmas shopping, the<br />
boys and I went to an actual mall to do so. The<br />
Hamilton Mall, to be precise. It is there that<br />
the first seeds of The Undertow were planted,<br />
when Cath and I went to the Cinnabon only<br />
to be told they were out of cinnamon buns. It<br />
was too perfect. Anyway, I was surprised to<br />
find everything I needed at reasonable prices,<br />
and unpleasantly surprised to find around 40<br />
percent of the stores closed. And, like, I’m<br />
glad the laws have changed and no one’s going<br />
to jail for it anymore, but does EVERY shop<br />
have to smell like weed?<br />
I think coming in 16th in the world in a<br />
sport where “soccer is the future” since the<br />
70s is pretty good.<br />
Low Testosterone Hand Dryer of the<br />
Week: I love playing acoustic gigs at Cold<br />
Spring Brewery, as I did last weekend on a<br />
last-minute call with Sugar Dave Hughes, but<br />
I’d die of old age waiting for that blower to dry<br />
my hands.<br />
I am a member of the last great generation,<br />
Generation X, and grew up on Rankin<br />
& Bass Christmas classics like Rudolph the Red<br />
Nosed Reindeer and Year Without a Santa Claus,<br />
so I am not some pampered millennial when I<br />
declare that Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July<br />

is hot garbage. Though I imagine,<br />
like Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the<br />
Moon, Wizard of Oz and anything<br />
Grateful Dead related, it’s probably<br />
not so bad if you’re all hopped<br />
up on goofballs. Shelley Winters<br />
and Ethel Merman in voice roles<br />
make it disturbing on a whole<br />
different level.<br />
What is a Boxbe waiting list<br />
and why does half my email go<br />
there?<br />
I upgraded my Hulu to commercial-free<br />
last week for one<br />
reason; the mind-numbing NJM<br />
“we are the tippy top we’re top<br />
insurance” commercials they<br />
play incessantly on every break.<br />
To the point where I would not<br />
be surprised to find that NJM is a<br />
stealth investor in Hulu.<br />
After he finishes Dune (Part<br />
1 was my favorite movie of…<br />
whatever year it came out…<br />
everything is a blur since March<br />
17, 2020), I hope director Denis<br />
Villanueve makes another<br />
straight-up thriller, because I<br />
rewatched Prisoners last week and<br />
it is an absolute banger.<br />
Gigs of the Week: For my two<br />
final shows of 2022 (and two of<br />
my final gigs ever? More on that<br />
after this), I’m going out with<br />
a couple of bangers; December<br />
30 in the Brown Room and New<br />
Year’s Eve at the Corinthian Yacht<br />
Club. New Year’s is a private gig<br />
so you better all jam into the<br />
Brown Room the night before to<br />
shower me with long goodbyes<br />
and loads of cash. Thank you,<br />
Jerry Kolber, for being a great<br />
musical partner and good friend.<br />
Why might it be two of my<br />
last gigs ever, you might ask?<br />
Shut up and I’ll tell you, I might<br />
answer. Since becoming virtually<br />
unemployed a little over a month<br />
ago (writing this column and<br />
delivering magazines are, shockingly,<br />
not enough to make a living<br />
on) I’ve been doomscrolling the<br />
Indeed app like it’s Twitter, looking<br />
for a job, any job, and failing<br />
spectacularly. Seriously. I didn’t<br />
even get an interview at Arby’s<br />
(side note: Arby’s isn’t my go-to,<br />
but it never fails to satisfy). It was<br />
getting fairly depressing (okay,<br />
it was getting VERY depressing)<br />
until I finally broke through and<br />
landed a gig. Starting next week,<br />
I will be joining the materials<br />
supply team at Cape Regional<br />
Medical Center. This is basically<br />
a supply chain job, but as we’ve<br />
all learned since the Dumbassin-Chief<br />
crashed the economy,<br />
supply chains are pretty important.<br />
So, I got that going for me.<br />
Which is nice. However, it’s a<br />
40-hour-a-week and every-other-weekend<br />
job, so I’m not sure<br />
how much room there’ll be for<br />
performing. Believe me, if I can,<br />
I will, But we shall see. You can<br />
read about my gigs in here next…<br />
oh wait… never mind.<br />
Lastly this week, goodbye.<br />
Without getting overly sentimental,<br />
in 2003 I emailed the<br />
editor-in-chief of the fledgling<br />
Exit Zero magazine about writing<br />
a sports or movie or TV or<br />
local gossip column. That editorin-chief<br />
said, “Ok.” Nearly two<br />
decades, 750+ columns and 15<br />
serialized short stories later, here<br />
we are. I’m grateful for the opportunity<br />
I’ve had to share my worldview<br />
for the dozens of hundreds<br />
who happened upon this page<br />
and thought, “Sure, why not?”<br />
You’ve “known” my 21-19-<br />
17-year old sons since they were<br />
infants or younger. You’ve known<br />
me since I was in my early 30s,<br />
newlywed and full of hope (I look<br />
back in fondness at that naive<br />
little guy). In turn, I’ve gotten<br />
to know many of you. I can’t<br />
remember any of your names, but<br />
I know you. You’re cool. You’re<br />
funny. And you’re good looking.<br />
You can take a joke and throw<br />
one right back. You understood<br />
that, even if I went a little too far,<br />
I never did so with malice in my<br />
heart. Mostly, I just wanted to<br />
make you laugh and I hope I did.<br />
I gave her my heart. She gave<br />
me a pen.<br />

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Looking for that last minute holiday gift<br />
or trying to figure out what to do with<br />
that gifted loot? Why not invest it in<br />
a hobby that is tantamount to opening<br />
presents every day of the year. Of<br />
course, I’m talking about bird watching.<br />
North America’s second most popular<br />
outdoor pastime. Every morning, Ma Nature<br />
puts out piles of colorfully wrapped presents.<br />
They are a delight to our eyes, music to our<br />
ears, a challenge for young and old alike.<br />
You get close enough to note the bird’s “field<br />
marks,” pin the name to the bird and cast a<br />
spell of binding over it. Every day a new array<br />
of possibilities.<br />
Your hobby goes wherever you do. Birds<br />
are everywhere, nature’s ambassadors opening<br />
the door to a world of discovery — 750<br />
species in North America, 10,000 in the world<br />
and the nearest one is right outside your door.<br />
On the utility line or under the hedge. Or take<br />
a drive to Cape May Point. Scan Lake Lily.<br />
Ducks galore. They’re big, boldly patterned<br />
and they swim in the open. OK, some of them<br />
do dive and not every bird is a duck. Here’s<br />
your first lesson in bird identification.<br />
Step 3: Pin the bird down to the family.<br />
Not everything that swims is a duck, goose<br />
or swan. Coots and grebes swim and dive,<br />
too. Coots look like charcoal tea pots with a<br />
white spout. Grebes resemble meat loafs with<br />
a chicken’s head.<br />
Steps 1 and 2? Binoculars and a field<br />
guide. But you can buy both items for less<br />
than dinner in Cape May. Luckily the Cape<br />
May Bird Observatory is seated right on the<br />
north end of Lake Lily. The shop has the best<br />
selection of optics in New Jersey and new and<br />
used field guides. The bird check lists are free.<br />
They tell you the seasonal abundance of birds<br />
in Cape May. Fill the list with check marks<br />
and you have a record of your discoveries.<br />
It’s called a Life List. After that, you can start<br />
keeping “Year Lists” as a way of getting you<br />
out all year long. Birds are seasonal. Some<br />
only breed here, others only in winter.<br />
“The Sibley Guide,” written in Cape May<br />
Point, is the gold standard but the Kaufman<br />
Guide is more user-friendly. Other guides?<br />
Plenty. Walls of them and bird feeders, too,<br />
plus lots of books dealing with other natural<br />
history subjects.<br />
Bird seed? Smeltzer and Sons, Cape May<br />
Court House sells high quality seed. Black<br />
oil Sunflower seed is loved by birds. If you<br />
are buying mixed seed, avoid cheap (cheep?)<br />
fillers like cracked corn. Don’t forget the suet.<br />
Nuthatches love it.<br />

The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
So many movies, so little time. Add<br />
television shows in the mix, and<br />
there’s even more to review. It’s been<br />
a good year with plenty of outstanding<br />
content.<br />
To make it easier, the “Flix You Missed”<br />
podcast has been updated with many columns<br />
from this year. Visit flixyoumissed.com and<br />
select the podcasts for dozens of reviews.<br />
With all that’s out there, use it as a guide to<br />
catch up on what you may have skipped.<br />
The year started with the animated hit<br />
Encanto. We went through superhero blockbusters<br />
and quirky television shows. The<br />
Adam Sandler hit Hustle was a highlight for me<br />
since it was filmed where I work. The Netflix<br />
game show Bullsh*t taught me that people can<br />
still win big at trivia even without the slightest<br />
clue as to the right answer.<br />
Nope and Prey were both standouts. And<br />
the year ended strong with Black Panther in<br />
theaters and the TV series Wednesday. Experts<br />
tell us that we’re getting back to theaters but<br />
not at pre-pandemic levels yet. It’s challenging<br />
to get back when so much entertainment is<br />
streaming, right? Let’s see what 2023 brings.<br />
Avatar is supposed to usher a big screen comeback.<br />
If you’ve seen it, email your thoughts.<br />
An accomplishment for me this year<br />
was publishing “The Book Is Better: Stories<br />
Inspired by Not-So-Famous Motion Pictures.”<br />
The book is a compilation of adaptations,<br />
mostly stories but a couple essays and a poem<br />
as well — all based on the quirky little movies<br />
I produced over the years. I’m an amateur<br />
filmmaker at best. But it was fun to create the<br />
films over the years. They’ve screened at festivals<br />
(including the Cape May Film Festival),<br />
and other venues over a decade or so.<br />
The videos were mostly shorts, but it<br />
turns out there were more narratives to create.<br />
The book was a blast to write, taking<br />
the ideas and characters then expanding on<br />
them. And I’ve also been able to launch my<br />
first audiobook based on “The Book Is Better,”<br />
something I’ve always wanted to do. You can<br />
find that on Spotify for free. A summary of<br />
the stories and a link to the audiobook — as<br />
well as where to buy the paperback book — is<br />
at bookisbetterstories.com. The movies are<br />
online too, youtube.com/tomhsims.<br />
Email me at flixyoumissed@gmail.com<br />
to let me know your favorites this year. Or<br />
send your predictions for an Oscar contender.<br />
Nominations come out January 24, and the<br />
Oscars will air on March 12. Thank you for<br />
a fantastic year. Happy Holidays, Merry<br />
Christmas, and all the best in 2023!<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, celebrate your love!<br />
If you’re a thalassophile, or lover of the<br />
sea, a salt-scented wedding is a dream<br />
come true. Cape May offers options,<br />
from the simple beauty of a wedding<br />
picnic to a fairy-tale extravaganza.<br />
If you’d like to be close enough to have<br />
a mermaid be your bridesmaid, choose a<br />
beach wedding. Being a barefoot bride can<br />
be a budget-friendly option, especially if you<br />
pay only for the permit, forgoing chairs and<br />
decor. (If you want chairs, do yourself a favor<br />
and rent — you don’t want to be stacking<br />
chairs in your wedding dress.) You can do<br />
a 30-minute ceremony on the beach, with<br />
advance planning and permission from the<br />
City. Remember, photos of your beach wedding<br />
will include strangers in the background.<br />
The beach is public, so you can’t ask people<br />
to leave. However, you’re telling the whole<br />
world you’re in love, and passersby will be<br />
offering their best wishes. If that’s not for you,<br />
consider Convention Hall, overhanging the<br />
sand, or the top of the Cape May Lighthouse.<br />
For a simple reception, consider a picnic at<br />
Cape May Point State Park — their reserved<br />
area has a shelter and restrooms and can<br />
accommodate 60 people. Friends of the bride<br />
and groom have to take the garbage away, and<br />
the fee is $80 for New Jersey residents. Visit<br />
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests for information.<br />
Exit Zero’s Ferry Park, with its panoramic<br />
views and abundant parking, offers an intimate<br />
“Mini-Matrimony Package” for up to<br />
20 guests starting at $3000. They can also<br />
host huge outdoor events. Flip through this<br />
paper for more ideas — the Chalfonte offers<br />
a pretty garden area for your ceremony, gorgeous<br />
porches and gracious service. Beach<br />
Plum Farm offers farm-to-table fare and their<br />
rooster “alarm clock” to get you to the church<br />
on time. A Congress Hall wedding offers the<br />
chance to keep the party going in the Boiler<br />
Room or the Brown Room. The Southern<br />
Mansion’s Downton Abbey vibes can feel like a<br />
family estate. The Grand Hotel has experience<br />
with receptions for beach weddings and offers<br />
the sundeck for ceremonies or an al fresco<br />
cocktail hour. Peter Shields is a great choice<br />
for couples seeking a BYOB option.<br />
Many of Cape May’s fine dining restaurants<br />
will accommodate a small wedding, as<br />
will Willow Creek and other vineyards. Most<br />
also offer planning advice. Look into accommodations<br />
— Cape May is likely a destination<br />
wedding for most of your guests, and hotels<br />
may require a three-night stay for some weekends.<br />
Rent a trolley to transport your wedding<br />
party and avoid parking hassles.<br />

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from<br />
gentle readers on all manner of relationship<br />
quandaries, matters of the<br />
heart and ethics. If you’d like to send<br />
a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or,<br />
simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate<br />
the wisdom herein.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I think I made a huge faux pas. I went to my<br />
sister’s house for Christmas morning to watch<br />
her kids open their presents. I didn’t realize<br />
her brother-in-law would be there. My sister<br />
has always claimed he has a thing for me, but<br />
I dismissed it as he has never done anything<br />
to make me think that. Well, on Christmas<br />
morning he had a beautiful handbag from<br />
Red Oak for me. I felt so bad that I was empty<br />
handed. Now what do I do? — Caught off guard<br />
Dear Off Guard<br />
You are guiltless here. You might want to<br />
find out from your sister if the brother-in-law<br />
is under the impression that his intentions<br />
have been relayed to you. However, he does<br />
have to put his big boy pants on and speak up<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
himself. As a thank you, why don’t you give<br />
him a jingle and invite him to the Cricket Club<br />
for cocktails and an app? See where it goes<br />
and apologize for showing up empty handed.<br />
Tell him the truth — you had no idea he would<br />
be there nor that gifts were being exchanged.<br />
Trust the Answer Lady, he’ll be fine with that.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I just started dating a woman I really<br />
like, but I want to take it slow because I have<br />
a terrible track record due to my job. I’m a<br />
police officer with odd hours and assignments<br />
which make it difficult. This woman’s father<br />
and her brother are both in law enforcement<br />
and she seems to get it. I don’t want to screw<br />
anything up. What do you suggest for a perfect<br />
New Year’s Eve? I’m on vacation that week so<br />
I know I can make plans. — Anxious Reveler<br />
Dear Anxious<br />
It is wonderful that you found someone<br />
who has first-hand knowledge about the job<br />
you do in protecting us. It is also a good sign<br />
that you are mindful of the impact it has on<br />
people who care for you. For New Year’s Eve,<br />
remember perfect is the enemy of good. Shoot<br />
for a lovely evening. First a horse and buggy<br />
ride around Cape May. Don’t whine about the<br />
cold — bring a blanket. For dinner, Tisha’s,<br />
The Lookout at Ferry Park and The Pier House<br />
never disappoint. Hemingway’s also has a<br />
great menu. Finish the night with some bar<br />
hopping — the Ugly Mug is a must. Don’t<br />
neglect the beachfront — Carney’s is always<br />
hopping. Happy New Year!<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 />
CARMINE is an adorable, four-year-old mini<br />
doodle. He came to the shelter because he is<br />
fearful of men and can snap — only four times<br />
in four years. You’d never believe it after meeting<br />
him — he is extremely friendly and playful<br />
and requires a slow introduction to men. A<br />
woman owner who is patients with his anxiety<br />
would be best for Carmine.<br />
NALA is a happy and social two-year-old girl.<br />
She has a lot of energy and loves to play fetch<br />
and run around the yard. Once she works off<br />
that energy, she relaxes easily and loves to be<br />
pet. Nala’s leash-walking skills are improving<br />
daily, and she enjoys investigating her surroundings.<br />
She has lived with children before<br />
but needs a slow introduction to cats.<br />
CRANBERRY came to the shelter as a stray,<br />
but she is full of life! She enjoys being around<br />
people and going for long walks with her<br />
human — her leash skills are excellent. Cranberry<br />
is still in the early stages of training and<br />
needs a home that will work on her puppy<br />
manners. She’ll thrive as the only pet and with<br />
older children.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
HELEN was a stray cat living outside and<br />
somehow lost her vision. She does pretty<br />
well getting around and cautiously navigates<br />
rooms. Helen’s hearing is great, but loud<br />
noises startle her. She’d be best living with<br />
only cats and needs a safe and cozy indoor life.<br />
If interested in taking this true rescue home,<br />
contact the shelter.<br />
FLOYD was an indoor/outdoor feral cat for<br />
three years. He came to the shelter when his<br />
owner moved and left him behind. Floyd is<br />
very affectionate and friendly. He would be<br />
good in a home with other cats and children.<br />
He is also up to date on all vaccinations and<br />
neutered. If interested in taking Floyd home,<br />
contact the shelter.<br />
MYSTIQUE is a 12-week-old ball of energy!<br />
She was found near the dumpster at the shelter<br />
in the rain, malnourished and shivering.<br />
Mystique needs a warm and loving home to<br />
truly take care of her. She’s ready for a busy<br />
and happy home with lots of toys to play with.<br />
Mystique would be good in a home with other<br />
cats, dogs and children.
