-2pm<br />

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: Hemingway’s Restaurant on Beach Avenue in Cape<br />

May. You’ll find this year-round steak and seafood restaurant inside<br />

the Grand Hotel.<br />

The vibe: It was a quiet Tuesday and they had just turned over from<br />

breakfast to begin serving lunch. We decided to pick up some takeout<br />

before heading back to the office after a morning of riding bikes through<br />

town collecting content for social media and some upcoming promos.<br />

Special shoutout to Jonathan Hirsch and the Boarding House for lending<br />

us a few of their bikes for the adventure. They partner with Priority<br />

Bicycles to offer their guests a nice cruise through town during their<br />

stay. Check them out at boardinghousecapemay.com — might be time<br />

for a staycation or to book next year’s trip to Cape May.<br />

The food: Anyway... back to what we ate for lunch! Hemingway’s<br />

lunch menu is full of soups, salads, sandwiches and some seafood<br />

dishes that are quite tempting. We opted to keep things simple.<br />

Kayla enjoyed a chicken Caesar wrap with French fries, Katie went<br />

for a chicken quesadilla served with salsa and sour cream, Nicole had<br />

the turkey club wrap with fries and Courtney the French onion soup.<br />

Important to note all our fries were piping hot — a takeout detail we<br />

always pay close attention to. All our meals — a couple of which we<br />

saved half of for dinner — were both tasty and filling. Hemingway’s is<br />

not a place to skip when making your lunch plans.<br />

The takeaway: Hemingway’s restaurant is open daily, serving<br />

breakfast daily 8-11:30am, lunch 12-3:30pm and dinner Sunday-Thursday<br />

4-9pm and Friday-Saturday 4-10pm. The Bar in open<br />

Sunday-Thursday 12-10pm and Friday-Saturday 12pm-1am. They’re<br />

Prime Rib night every Wednesday is a can’t-miss night out and their<br />

fall specials are worth a try which include wild mushroom pasta and<br />

chicken picatta. Football Sunday is another good time to visit Hemingway’s.<br />

They’ve got the games playing, beer flowing and plenty on the<br />

dinner menu you’ll want to feast on.

Bird Droppings<br />

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

Times were that Cape May’s tourist<br />

economy shut down after Labor Day.<br />

But now that Cape May has been<br />

widely recognized as a bird watching<br />

Mecca, the season has extended to<br />

at least the Columbus Day Weekend, when<br />

hundreds of eager hawk watchers descend for<br />

what has come to be the peak of the autumn<br />

hawk migration at “the Migration Mainline.<br />

On Saturday of Columbus Day Weekend,<br />

the hawk watch platform hosted over 200<br />

avid hawk watchers from all across North<br />

America. The park parking lot was as full as<br />

a Saturday in summer. Included in the lot<br />

were two 15-passenger vans from Virginia<br />

and their contingent of hawk watchers.<br />

The hawks didn’t disappoint, once the<br />

winds turned northwest and the sun began<br />

perking some thermals, there was never a<br />

moment when hawks were not in the air.<br />

Peregrines were regular, feisty Merlins<br />

sparred over the dunes, Kestrels zipped by<br />

in spurts. CMBO’s seasonal interns made<br />

sure every passing raptor was pinpointed<br />

and identified. They even offered free tutorials<br />

on raptor identification. Many visitors<br />

have made the weekend a 20, even 30-year<br />

tradition, but more fascinating for me were<br />

the many first-timers who saw the standing<br />

crowds and came up to see what all the<br />

excitement was all about. What they got was<br />

not only a lesson in natural history but a<br />

glimpse into a parallel universe. Bird watching<br />

might have been a closet avocation once,<br />

now its mainstream and I was taken by the<br />

many makes and models of binoculars that<br />

have, after five decades of evolution, excel in<br />

the hawk watching arena, first among them<br />

Swarovoski Optik, the sponsor of the hawk<br />

watch. Built in Austria, the optically fine<br />

instruments are a favorite among birders,<br />

and rightfully so. As someone who has visited<br />

the Swarovski factory, I can assure you that<br />

the quality control surpasses all but the most<br />

exact standards. You can even test drive a pair<br />

on the platform. Prepare to be wowed!<br />

You say, you tried bird watching but found<br />

it frustrating? I say you had lousy binoculars.<br />

Try it again with a glass suited to the task. Go<br />

up on the hawk watch platform, find out what<br />

instruments serious birders are using. And<br />

train a loaner Swarovski on the waterfowl<br />

dotting Bunker Pond, the green speculum on<br />

a Green-winged teal, winking in the sun, will<br />

blow you back to a brain stem.<br />

Try it. The Cape May hawk watch from<br />

now until the end of November, it’s the natural<br />

history spectacle in your own backyard.<br />

Ah sweet nostalgia! It’s present in<br />

almost every rebooted franchise<br />

nowadays. You would think it’s a<br />

recipe for success by pleasing<br />

both new and old crowds. But is it<br />

always? The Exorcist: Believer uses nostalgia<br />

when it fits the plot but refuses to adhere to<br />

already established source material. David<br />

Gordon Green’s Exorcist reimagining, like his<br />

Halloween reboot, brushes aside material that<br />

made the original film famous.<br />

My favorite part of the original is Father<br />

Damien and possessed Reagan engaging in<br />

conversation. Tension and intrigue glue your<br />

eyes to the screen as the demon does not<br />

kill the priest but teases him. The audience<br />

believed that the demon who was possessing<br />

Reagan had power without it fully being seen.<br />

Spoiler Alert: The sequel does the opposite.<br />

The demon inside the two girls, Katherine<br />

and Angela, is able to control lights and use<br />

extreme physical force. Yes, the demon that<br />

possessed Reagan in the original was violent,<br />

but it was because the demon had a mission.<br />

The Movie Column<br />

By guest columnist Anthony Caristo<br />

Father Karras was the target because he questioned<br />

his faith. What better prize for a demon<br />

than a man of God who can be teased! It is<br />

only until the true Exorcist, Father Merrin,<br />

arrives that Father Karras regains his faith.<br />

As for the reboot, the mission for the demon<br />

to possess the two girls is never mentioned.<br />

My biggest problem with this reboot is<br />

that there is no Exorcist present! The film<br />

was trying to instill the idea that anyone can<br />

be an Exorcist because if you believe, you can<br />

combat the forces of evil. Unsurprisingly, this<br />

interesting idea falls flat due to poor writing<br />

and plot structure. As the exorcism continues<br />

it becomes abundantly clear that the absence<br />

of an actual Exorcist weakened the film.<br />

So are there any positives? First the acting<br />

was strong, which was led by Lidya Jewitt and<br />

Olivia O’Neill who played the two possessed<br />

children. There is also the script which was a<br />

gift and a curse. The ending was largely weak<br />

but there were moments that made me think<br />

I was watching a good movie. Specifically<br />

the scene where Lidya Jewitts’ character is<br />

talking to her father. There was chemistry<br />

between the two, and it was genuine to watch<br />

their relationship grow. Of course, this whole<br />

review would be for naught if I did not mention<br />

that amazing theme song!<br />

In the end, Exorcist fans were disappointed<br />

and must look to the past! Check out<br />

the massively underrated film, The Exorcism of<br />

Emily Rose, which did everything right that this<br />

film did wrong.<br />

The Activity Column<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, find some goodies at a craft show!<br />

There’s a shopping meme going around<br />

social media that asserts, “Target will<br />

tell you what you need from Target.”<br />

Craft lovers agree — they don’t go to the<br />

craft fair for something specific. Instead,<br />

they go to discover something. Those who shop<br />

the “collectibles” part of a craft and collectibles<br />

fair are different. Collectors usually look for very<br />

specific items.<br />

Craft lovers are there to appreciate the<br />

handmade items. They know that prices should<br />

reflect the raw materials, the time spent creating<br />

the item, and the years spent learning the craft,<br />

whether it’s knitting or painting or leather work.<br />

These shoppers want to treat themselves, or<br />

their gift recipients. Craft lovers take their time<br />

at the fair, looking at every stall and stopping to<br />

speak to the artists. They linger.<br />

Collectors often speed through a fair. If they<br />

collect, say, vintage porcelain boxes, they know<br />

they are looking for a rectangular one with a lid,<br />

and they don’t want to lose out to another collector.<br />

They may chat with vendors to ask about<br />

future availability, or fantastic finds, but they<br />

tend not to linger.<br />

Gift shopping changes these calculations,<br />

of course. Both types of shoppers should come<br />

armed with a list, not just of who they want to<br />

buy for, but something about them — instead of<br />

just “Heather,” your list might remind you that<br />

she is 24, training for a 10K, and living in a a tiny<br />

student apartment. These notes might stop you<br />

from adding to the angel collection she had as<br />

a child or buying a large piece of holiday decor,<br />

and instead treat her to one of those hair accessories<br />

that doubles as a wallet, or a luxurious<br />

lotion for her sore feet. A fellow Cape May lover<br />

might appreciate a piece of seaside-themed art.<br />

Sustainable gifts like reusable beeswax food<br />

wrappers are a treat for the friend who lives<br />

on leftovers. Consumable items, like unusual<br />

dips and sauces, are great for both older people<br />

looking to declutter and young people with<br />

limited space. Almost anyone can appreciate a<br />

bottle of antibacterial gel with a pleasant scent<br />

to keep in the car. Cape May’s Convention Hall<br />

has several shows coming up. On November 4,<br />

there’s the “Fall Craft & Collectibles Show” from<br />

10am to 4pm. On November 24 and 25, there’s a<br />

“Holiday Craft & Collectibles Show,” and “Crafts<br />

at Christmas” arrives on December 2. Prepare<br />

to park a few blocks away — the vendors often<br />

occupy the spaces closest to Convention Hall.<br />

Bring cash as well as credit cards in case the<br />

credit card machines are wonky. Bring your<br />

reusable tote bag to carry your gifts home. Enjoy<br />

your food outside of the sales area to avoid spills.<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 />

We recently sent out our wedding<br />

invitations on which we ask guests not to bring<br />

children. We don’t think this is an uncommon<br />

request. The reception is at Congress Hall and<br />

we are not planning a kid-friendly night. My<br />

cousin asked if she could be the exception and<br />

bring her eight-year-old daughter because our<br />

wedding date “falls on her weekend.” I told<br />

her no, miffed that she would even ask. Then<br />

she asked if I was then providing childcare.<br />

I simply said, “Do I take it you will not be<br />

attending?” “Of course I’m coming,” she said.<br />

She is still texting me, asking about childcare.<br />

How do I end this without getting the entire<br />

family involved? She has never been one who<br />

takes no for an answer. — Flustered Bride<br />

The Answer Lady<br />

Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />

Dear Flustered<br />

You deflect. Get the family involved and<br />

make them your wingman. Your mother or<br />

father should pick up the phone and talk to her<br />

mother and sort it out. Another alternative for<br />

your unimaginative cousin would be to call<br />

on friend or the family of one of her friends.<br />

She could spend the night, which would be a<br />

lot more fun than hanging out with a bunch<br />

of adults. Finally, she could switch weekends<br />

with her ex. These are all suggestions which<br />

should come from someone else. You have<br />

more important things to worry about.<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />

My best friend is recently divorced. She<br />

married her high school sweetheart, so she is<br />

not very sophisticated when it comes to men.<br />

A very handsome man has been wooing her<br />

who doesn’t have a great reputation. He preys<br />

on divorcees. I also know he has heard that she<br />

has money. What do I do? How do I warn her<br />

without alienating her? — Worried Friend<br />

Dear Worried<br />

You take her out to dinner. The Filling<br />

Station would be a good place. Tell her what<br />

you know. Tell her you love her and don’t want<br />

to see anyone take advantage of her, but you<br />

do not castigate him. She is vulnerable. The<br />

only thing you can do is to tell her not to give<br />

him any money without consulting a financial<br />

adviser and make sure he likes her more than<br />

her money. She will, of course, deny all this<br />

and ignore your concerns. Then you must shut<br />

up and resolve to stand by her no matter what.<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 />

LADY AVERY is a sweet social girl whose family<br />

could no longer care for her. This English<br />

Pointer has great leash skills and enjoys car<br />

rides. She is a ten-year-old girl but has plenty<br />

of energy. Lady Avery is good with children<br />

and would do well with other dogs and cats as<br />

long as she has a slow introduction. This girl<br />

would make a wonderful family pet.<br />

THOR is a young dog that can be nervous in<br />

new situations. He loves playing fetch and<br />

can continue to go for hours with his endless<br />

energy. Thor’s leash skills are improving, and<br />

he continues to learn new behavior cues daily.<br />

He would be best in a quiet home with older<br />

children and would need a slow introduction<br />

to cats and other dogs.<br />

ZEKE is a one-and-a-half-year-old boy who<br />

came to the shelter when his owner could no<br />

longer care for him. He is a happy pup who<br />

loves attention. Zeke is learning proper leash<br />

manners and enjoys his brisk walks. He also<br />

loves car rides and is crate trained. Zeke would<br />

make a wonderful companion for a family<br />

with older children.<br />

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

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

NIVIA is one of seven kittens that was rescued<br />

with her mother. Being an indoor cat is all<br />

she’s ever known, and she would love to find a<br />

loving family to take her in. Nivia is up to date<br />

on all vaccinations and spayed. She would do<br />

well in a home with other cats as well as children.<br />

If interested in taking home this cute kitten,<br />

contact the shelter.<br />

DAWN AND RAINBOW are two of the happiest<br />

little kittens you’ll ever meet. They love to<br />

play and are very social. Dawn and Rainbow<br />

are attached at the hip — they play together,<br />

eat together and use the litter box together. It<br />

would be best if these two girls were adopted<br />

together. They’d both do well in a home with<br />

other cats, dogs and children.<br />

SQUEAKS CQ is a beautiful three-year-old<br />

girl. She came to the shelter when her owners<br />

were moving and couldn’t bring her along.<br />

Squeaks is a very calm and quiet girl and was<br />

the only pet to her previous owners. It would<br />

be best if she stayed as such with no other cats<br />

or dogs. An adult only household would also<br />

suit Squeaks well.<br />
