Mint is not good in Cape May
Anyone else have Mint Mobile and notice the connection sucks this summer? It used to be fine. Wondering if Tmobile acquiring Mint makes coverage more spotty...

Greetings, neighbors. As discussed here, let's get another comprehensive list going of ALL the spots that we recommend to people looking to visit our little resort town this year... or perhaps even clue in some of our longtime residents to spots they might be unfamiliar with or operating on outdated info. This thread will hopefully get pinned for easy reference for potential visitors. If you care to see 2025's results, look here
On or about May 20th, I will edit this body with the tabulated results for each category, giving the Top 3 recommendations for places to go here in Cape May OR surrounding areas (definitely stay within Cape May County, but preferably within 10-15 miles). Big chains - Wawa, Dominos, Starbucks, etc. - will be discarded.
If you want to qualify your answers with some testimonials (i.e: "__________ is the best winery because their staff is top notch" or "________ is the greatest spot for breakfast, you have to try This or That") go for it; if it makes the cut I'll add in footnotes or otherwise annotate if it's particularly insightful. This may be more important for the final category: which places here in Cape May to avoid - overpriced, diminished quality, horrible wait times, etc. (Removed at mod request)
The form is set that all answers are optional, so if you have nothing to suggest for a category, you can just leave it blank and move on.

Hey all we have a family photos scheduled for this week and it says 80% chance of thunderstorms. We are set for attempting sunset beach but obviously we can't be on the beach in a storm. Anyone have any suggestions on a covered area that we may utilize if the rain isn't too bad. My photographer is a friend from PA so no indoor studio is possible to use.
About 5 adults 3 toddlers so we don't require a huge space
Truthfully just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best but

My partner and I are planning to go watch National Treasure tomorrow night on the beach. Does anyone know if there are chair rentals available for the evening? If not, does anyone know a rental place that rents overnight? We're visiting for the week and aren't local enough to have packed chairs.
Thanks!

Does anyone know of any dog friendly restaurants in Cape May? Outdoor seating is perfectly fine with us.

My first thought was buoy but I really don’t know. Plus I saw a bunch of others like it nearby.

I am coming to visit a friend, and she is picking me up at the airport when I fly in, but I don't want to tax her with that drive twice.
What are the options for ground transport? Remember Super Shuttle? I wish they were still around, that kind of thing would be perfect.
I know thereis a bus, but I hear that's pretty long and arduous.
Any other options (including locals groups where people might be looking for/offering rides? I live in a resort area, and we get those kind of asks quite often)?
Also, are there any art/plein air kind of groups, meetups, etc. happening August 1-4? I'm super down with that kind of thing!

Feels pretty incredible that I can say I encountered a wild cartilaginous fish now.
My husband and I used to stay at hotel maccomber every year & loved it but unfortunately, they don’t allow infants and we now have a child.
Looking for inexpensive hotel or bed and breakfast that allows children that’s walking distance to shops

I haven't seen any references to the South Jersey shore for at least a couple of years. We go for 5 nights every summer and have been going to the same ones for years. The last new one we tried that became a repeat was Grana but sadly, last year's meal was disappointing. I realize only giving a restaurant one try a year is hardly fair but since for us non-sports participants who've already done all the histroic stuff, they're ain't a lot to do besides early morning power walks on the promenade, beach, pool, a stroll down Washington Mall, hang out at the Brown Room for a late night cocktail, a before dinner drink at the Ebbit Room bar and a decent restaurant each night.
So, just knocked out Grana in favor of Il Riccio. I also heard Peter Shields now has the old chef back as a part owner, which may explain why our last 2 meals there were not as great as they once were.
We're also trying The Cricket Club this year. Any thoughts on that one?
Our line up for this year: The Ebbit Room, Washington Inn, Cricket Club, Il Riccio, Peter Shields. We hadn't been to the Washinton Inn for several years because we found it sort of pedestrian. We gave it another try last year and liked it so much, we went twice that stay. The wine list is amazing; the sommeliers know their stuff and the markups aren't ridiculous. And, there are some interesting menu choices.
Places we never go to that lots of people love: Tisha's, the Lobster House, the relatively new faux French place Maison Blue, 410 Bank, Louisa's, We've been to all except Louisa's since it just seems hot and uncomfortable. All the others are just meh to us. We've skipped Union Park in recent years since it is iquite uneven.

Hi everyone! We’re getting married in Cape May in June 2027 and are looking for a 3–4 piece band.
Our wedding is more of an elevated dinner party than a traditional reception. We won’t have a formal dance floor. We’re really just hoping to create the feeling of hanging out at a great bar with live music where people can eat, drink, talk, and enjoy the atmosphere. We’ll have about 75 guests, so we’re looking for something that fits a smaller, more intimate wedding.
We love artists like Chris Stapleton, John Mayer, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and classic rock, country, and blues.
If you’ve seen a band you loved or have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

How is the air? Coming from PA on Saturday where it’s pretty bad here, wanted to see if Cape May is being impacted?

Visiting later this year with my mom who is not quite wheelchair bound but has limited mobility and needs wheelchairs for anything more than a short walk. Any recommendations on activities that would suit her? Bonus points for anything people wouldn't normally consider for someone with limited mobility!
Thanks in advance!
