Seven Mile Island (location of Stone Harbor and Avalon) holds a special place in our family’s hearts. We spent many a family vacation week there when the kids were younger. Every time I go there, memories of skimmers on the shoreline, seagull conventions, sandcastles and sinful ice cream cones from Springers come flooding back. We [...]
Something old became something new in North Wildwood. The old Betty Moretti’s seafood restaurant transformed into Sweet Again, a 3-in-1 dose of awesome.

I’ve often heard about the traditional Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes from many of my Italian friends, but being a combination of Irish and German, I’ve never had a chance to partake in this seafood extravaganza. On Friday night, Chef Geoffrey Johnson invited Celebrity Chef Maria Liberati to his Cape May restaurant, The [...]
This is probably the busiest pie-making week of the year and if you’ve got a lot of pie scraps lying around, don’t throw them away! Pie fries are a much tastier alternative.
