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.
