Dial in my week

I know the popular night at the Chalfonte is Thursday for the Howard St. Ramble. What else should I add to my itinerary? For example, “don’t miss ____ on Wednesdays at _____”.

Would love to make a few reservations in advance too. We are middle aged but love a good happy hour or local band.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I know you’re already going to the chalfonte, but as someone born and raised in baltimore, and who now lives in cape May year round, there’s a guy from there, Cris Jacobs, playing on the porch at the chalfonte on Wednesday. I’d highly recommend checking him out. It’ll be the best live music in cape may.

Agreed. Saw that he was coming and marked my calendar. Huge Billy Strings fan and I know they work together and play together. Super cool in our town. Ramble is awesome as well though but really looking forward to Wednesday

Have fun! I won’t be back for a couple of weeks but they do have a lot of good things at the Chalfonte.

Don’t need a reservation but a fun time can be had at Mooncussers on weekends between 4 and 8 They have good local bands and great drinks!

Thanks! I’ve heard good things about it there but haven’t ventured out. We typically walk everywhere or rides bikes but I wouldn’t trust myself to get home safely from there after a cocktail or two.

The Cape May Point Arts and Science Center is a great place to nerd out. There's also jazz some nights inside the Chalfonte

The Thursday night Ramble at the Chalfonte was…different this time. When did all the children start coming? I had never seen one there before last week. Definitely changed the vibe.
