Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s<br />
excellent dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny<br />
on what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we<br />
talked about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard,<br />
who served us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay<br />
of the land.<br />
The place: The NEW Cafe 64 located inside the Cape May ferry<br />
terminal. It is the latest endeavor of Exit Zero Hospitality since taking<br />
over the restaurant operations in June.<br />
The cafe: Cafe 64 is not your average terminal gift shop. Inside<br />
you will find some of your favorite Exit Zero apparel, a selection of<br />
new Ferry Park swag, books, glasses and mugs, and a variety of items<br />
for the kids. The cafe offers hot and cold sandwiches for breakfast<br />
and lunch, snacks, pastries, milkshakes, specialty coffees and even<br />
canned beer from our friends at Cape May Brew Co. It’s a great spot to<br />
grab a bite before you catch the ferry, on an early morning before work,<br />
or on a pit-stop on a long bike ride.<br />
The vibe: It was a calm Friday afternoon with some people wandering<br />
through the terminal before the next ferry. Shoppers browsed<br />
the retail store and a couple tables in the cafe were taken up by visitors<br />
enjoying lunch. The tables are next to large windows allowing plenty<br />
of sunlight, creating a bright and airy space to relax. It was a nice spot<br />
to enjoy lunch on a rather busy day.<br />
The food: Kayla and Nicole actually ordered the same sandwich<br />
for lunch, the turkey and Brie with cranberry mayo. Jack was enjoying<br />
one for lunch the day before so we couldn’t resist. Nicole enjoyed a<br />
passion fruit, orange and guava juice which she tried the week before<br />
and refused to leave without one — it’s just that good. Kayla went for<br />
the Honest green tea. It was a nice lunch and we managed to chat with<br />
EZ veteran Cathrine O’Brien for a bit while we were there.<br />
The takeaway: Cafe 64 is open 6-6 daily and will be one of the few<br />
spots to eat — the only spot in the early morning hours — at the ferry<br />
terminal. On the Rocks will still be open for drinks 12-6 daily, but if<br />
you’r e hungry, head over to the cafe and grab a bite to take with you.<br />
And for you EZ Hot Chick lovers out there... Cafe 64 offers a Hot Chick<br />
wrap that does not disappoint.

Undertow<br />
Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,<br />
fighting all who rob or plunder,<br />
Undertow, Undertow, Undertow!<br />
I wonder if that lady will ever start<br />
dressing like me for parades.<br />
Made a couple more trips up the 47-to-55<br />
corridor, which I hear they’ll soon be naming<br />
the Terry O’Brien Trail. First was to go see<br />
my first-born Owen in Glassboro, where he<br />
attends Rowan University and I only wrote this<br />
sentence like this to avoid saying Owen and<br />
Rowan so closely together because there’s only<br />
so many times you make the I’m-a-poet-anddidn’t-know-it<br />
joke. Anyway, he was having a<br />
medical issue (he’s fine, if a little sore in a sensitive<br />
area) so we hung out at Inspira Health<br />
for a few hours before hitting the world’s slowest-moving<br />
McDonald’s drive-thru. Say what<br />
you will about Mickey D’s, it is the ultimate<br />
comfort food.<br />
Then last Sunday, my last-born Henry<br />
and I went to Philly for the Eagles-Chiefs<br />
game ( yes, I take 47-to-55-to-42 because I<br />
don’t like paying $15 in tolls that were only<br />
supposed to be there until the highways were<br />
paid for but in the wise words of Owen O’Brien<br />
everything is a scam so let’s not go down that<br />
rabbit hole). Thanks again to Rob Rosenfeld<br />
for the hook-up. The seats were amazing (row<br />
29, 40-yard-line) and the game was a lot of<br />
fun (72 points and no punts!). And Henry<br />
survived the experience despite wearing his<br />
Chiefs Tyreke Hill jersey (and got to see his<br />
favorite player score three touchdowns). I prepared<br />
for the day by cashing a couple of my<br />
band checks so I walked into the stadium with<br />
$600 in my pocket ready to buy lots of merch<br />
and cheesesteaks… only to find out they were<br />
only taking plastic. Oh well. At least I got to<br />
know what it feels like to walk around with<br />
$600 in your pocket.<br />
I also saw about a dozen Cape Mayans at<br />
the game who neither drunkenly started any<br />
fights nor launched snot rockets as a depressingly<br />
large number of fans did, so well done,<br />
gang! Way to represent!<br />
Memo to Olivia Matthews, host extraordinaire<br />
at Exit Zero Filling Station: I was saying,<br />
“I adore you!” Not yelling, “DOOR!” as I<br />
carried my PA gear while you stood by the door<br />
like a spoiled, pampered rock star would do.<br />
Not at all. Only a real jerk would do that.<br />
Please, Rickey Phillips and Caiti Dix<br />
(EZFS servers), please stop fighting! It breaks<br />
my heart! It doesn’t matter who sits where,<br />
Rickey throws enough shade for everyone to<br />
sit under.<br />
I know I watched The Many Saints of Newark,<br />
The Sopranos prequel, but for the life of me I<br />
couldn’t tell you anything about it.<br />
I think I may have discovered a new civi-<br />

Forgotten Billy Joel Song of<br />
the Week: Imagine my delight<br />
in tuning in to 101.5 WCFA and<br />
hearing “Los Angelenos” on the<br />
radio. I’m being serious when I<br />
say you can probably count the<br />
number of times “Los Angelenos”<br />
has been played on the radio on<br />
two hands. Maybe one. And what<br />
was the song you played after it?<br />
Something about, “I’ll give you<br />
something to talk about, you’ll<br />
give me something to think<br />
about…?” Thanks in advance.<br />
After rehearsal for The Mostly<br />
Dead last Wednesday (a show<br />
I hope you all attended and<br />
enjoyed) I went for a drink with<br />
my homie Kevin Ebner and ran<br />
into the 3 West Cabal (Barry<br />
Tischler, Gregg Carpenter, Ed<br />
McDonough). Drinks were<br />
bought, tales were swapped, and<br />
jokes were told, none of which<br />
were suitable for print in this family-friendly<br />
magazine, but suffice<br />
to say they would have made Dave<br />
Chapelle blush (his new special<br />
is great). I don’t often get to hang<br />
out and shoot the breeze in a bar. I<br />
usually do my drinking by myself.<br />
In the dark. In a corner.<br />
I dropped Charlee (our<br />
Rottweiler/Shar-Pei) off at Muddy<br />
Paws, a fantastic dog grooming<br />
joint in N. Cape May which is<br />
staffed with super-friendly people<br />
who love dogs, and grabbed lunch<br />
at El Pueblo Taqueria next door. I<br />
couldn’t decide between the quesadilla<br />
and the chimichanga so<br />
I ordered both… and spent the<br />
next two days finishing them. So<br />
thank you, Ruben Nunez, it was<br />
awesome. I should also comment<br />
on the El Pueblo restroom,<br />
which was clean, comfy and cozy<br />
thanks to the muted, earthy color<br />
scheme, a stark contrast to his<br />
brother Jehovanny’s at Antojos,<br />
which is plastered with Marvel<br />
stickers. Both have their charms.<br />
Cape May Brewing Co.<br />
founder Ryan Krill ventured in<br />
as I chowed down. Seems impossible<br />
that little Radley is twoand-a-half<br />
already. He tells me<br />
there are big expansion plans<br />
for CMBC in the coming years,<br />
including an amusement park and<br />
space exploration program and<br />
the world’s first orbiting brewery<br />
and okay none of those is true but<br />
wouldn’t they be cool?<br />
Let’s go, Brandon!<br />
I have Comedy Central on as<br />
I write this week and I have two<br />
observations — Andy Bernard is<br />
by far the worst character on The<br />
Office and Trevor Noah is painfully<br />
unfunny.<br />
Took my middle-born son<br />
Jackson to the bank the other day<br />
and made the mistake of looking<br />
at his receipt because that little<br />
jerk has, literally, 12x more money<br />
than I do. But he does buy me<br />
Starbuck’s every time I take him<br />
to dance, so there’s that.<br />
For years I tried to be that guy,<br />
the good guy, the democratic guy,<br />
the guy who waited patiently at<br />
the end of the drive-thru line for<br />
the cars to advance in the order<br />
in which they arrived, even if the<br />
second lane wasn’t being used.<br />
Well, no longer. If you’re in line<br />
at the drive-thru and are dumb<br />
enough to be a sucker like I was<br />
for years and being all diplomatic<br />
and stuff, I am going to pull right<br />
around you into that empty lasne<br />
while you fume to the heavens<br />
how unfair it is like I used to.<br />
I finished my first watch<br />
through (there will be more) of<br />

Book of the Week: Project<br />
Hail Mary by Andy Weir (The<br />
Martian). As with all of Weir’s<br />
output it’s pretty science-y and<br />
my eyes glazed over at some of the<br />
math and physics sections (I am<br />
not a smart man) but the story is<br />
inventive and surprising and very<br />
human. I want to join Ostara’s<br />
Coffee House book club just to<br />
read it again.<br />
’Til next week, don’t get<br />
caught in The Undertow.

Treat Our Servers<br />
Cape May has been overrun by excited and eager visitors this summer. For the most part, that’s great for business... but it’s<br />
been a rough time for restaurant staff. Many of them are working outdoors in baking-hot temps, dealing with sometimes<br />
demanding customers. We think it’s time to hand out some well-deserved treats! Exit Zero Filling Station will deliver a<br />
meal and drinks for two to a deserving cause. We are also calling on our friends in local businesses to donate gift cards,<br />
which we will showcase in our posts. Please send us your nominations for overworked cooks, dishwashers and servers<br />
to info@exitzero.com, with TREAT OUR SERVERS in the subject line. Restricted to the Cape Mays and Villas.<br />
Last week, Exit Zero delivered a gift card from our friends at Gusto Brewing Company to Marijana, a manager and server<br />
at the Mad Batter as part of our Treat Our Servers program. We asked the community for nominations and Zack Pashley,<br />
owner of Gusto, pointed us toward Marijana. “We work closely with the Batter, so we have had so many opportunities to<br />
witness her extremely hard (and frequent) work in real time,” he says. “Whether we’re there for business or pleasure, she<br />
always seems to be there doin’ her thing like a boss.” Enjoy your gift card Marijana and keep being a boss!<br />

Beating the living daylights out of<br />
rude people — it’s very hard not to<br />
appreciate the premise behind the<br />
Amazon movie Jolt. Oh, come on.<br />
Don’t be so holier than thou. Don’t<br />
tell me that you’ve never wanted to smack the<br />
snot out of some prickly jerk who’s mouthing<br />
off at an innocent cashier.<br />
So, wait… am I the only one with anger<br />
issues toward ignorant people? Well… I’m<br />
working on it, okay? And I’m not the only<br />
one. Kate Beckinsale is Lindy, a woman who<br />
has a neurological disorder that puts her in<br />
a spontaneous rage with adrenaline rushes<br />
that give her super strength. This is especially<br />
true when she comes across people who are<br />
asshats — can I say that here? How about<br />
plain mean?<br />
Stanley Tucci plays Lindy’s therapist, and<br />
he has outfitted her with a device that shocks<br />
her entire system whenever she’s about to<br />
thrash someone. Literally, the gizmo shocks<br />
her with volts of electricity, so she doesn’t go<br />
into a rage.<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
The movie opens with Lindy going on a<br />
blind date with Justin (Jai Courtney). She is<br />
planning to cancel the date before it begins,<br />
but he convinces her to stay. Let’s say that the<br />
server is a complete jerk. The gizmo fails. It<br />
gets ugly, and the date is over.<br />
Justin is persistent. He takes her on a second<br />
date, and there is an instant connection.<br />
The two have a wonderful time, and it appears<br />
that Lindy is falling in love. The very next day,<br />
Justin is found brutally murdered.<br />
Lindy jumps into action and trying to find<br />
Justin’s murder. The plot has a few interesting<br />
turns, but honestly this is strictly a summefun<br />
flick. The ending isn’t so impressive as<br />
the premise — and I really wanted the whole<br />
movie to rock. Still, it wasn’t so bad where you<br />
turned it off in the middle. In the end, it was<br />
either trying too hard or not hard enough. A<br />
lot of star power was nearly squandered on<br />
this one, but it had its moments.<br />
One of Cape May Film Festival’s most<br />
celebrated guests was featured in this film.<br />
Susan Sarandon had a few lines. Her appearance<br />
was so short and right at the quirky<br />
and that I didn’t want to bring it up. So, that<br />
said, for a gift certificate, be the first to email<br />
flixyoumissed@gmail.com with the name of<br />
any movie that any star mentioned here was<br />
either nominated or won an Oscar for!<br />
And if you see a movie reviewed here,<br />
let me know (whether you have the same<br />
opinion or not). I will use your message in<br />

I<br />
fear that regular readers of this column<br />
are about to be treated to a run-on series<br />
of hawk watch related columns. First,<br />
Cape May is one of the few locations<br />
where migrating hawks concentrate in<br />
migration. You could spend a lifetime studying<br />
birds and not see the number of hawks an<br />
observer can study in a single hour on a good<br />
flight day. Second, I consider birds of prey<br />
the most fascinating of all bird groups. Third,<br />
watching hawks demands little effort. You<br />
sit on the hawk watch platform and the birds<br />
come to you. And finally, hawks are not the<br />
only birds passing in review. There are hordes<br />
of Tree Swallows, periodic bursts of shorebirds<br />
and the ever-present possibility that<br />
something rare might fly by. Saturday we were<br />
treated to the passage of a Sandhill Crane, a<br />
large stately bird found in the Western United<br />
States. You need not worry about your rudimentary<br />
field identification skills. There are<br />
lots of experienced eyes on the platform and<br />
everyone freely shares their knowledge.<br />
Hawk watching above all other brands<br />
Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
of birding is highly social. Every trip to the<br />
hawk watch puts me in contact with hosts of<br />
old friends and new acquaintances. Just like<br />
a hawk flight, no two days have the same mix<br />
of observers. On Saturday, I had the opportunity<br />
to spend the afternoon with Dr. Joe Jell,<br />
author of the Birds of Churchill (Manitoba) and<br />
authority on grebes and Thayer’s Gull (now<br />
a subspecies of Iceland Gull but formerly<br />
considered a distinct species). Joe, a Thayer’s<br />
Firster invited my opinion which sides with<br />
the lumpers, not the splitters, but despite our<br />
differing regard, we had a spirited discussion,<br />
in which I was much the junior partner.<br />
Despite our 10-year age difference, Joe and I<br />
shared the same mentor, Floyd Wolfarth.<br />
On Sunday, surrounded by an assembly<br />
of former Cape May hawk counters, I was<br />
treated to a visit from my close friend and<br />
New Jersey Audubon board member Wayne<br />
Greenstone, one of the kindest, gentlest, people<br />
to draw breath. We chatted for three hours<br />
about books, birds, environmental concerns<br />
and his late wife Else, hawk counter at the<br />
Montclair Hawk watch and one of the finest<br />
hawk counters to raise binoculars toward the<br />
sky. Else’s eyes were amazing were able to<br />
locate birds that were barely sub-orbital.<br />
Even if you don’t know anyone on the<br />
platform, it is impossible to not be engaged<br />
and engaging. Kick back and enjoy one of<br />
nature’s grandest spectacles. I hope to see you<br />
on the watch and raise glasses together under<br />
raptor-filled skies.<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, visit the Emlen Physick Estate for a spooky October!<br />
Life has been scary these past 20<br />
months, and some of us have turned to<br />
coronavirus jokes to lighten the mood<br />
— I’d tell you one now, but I don’t want<br />
to wait two weeks to see if you got it.<br />
For those accustomed to easing sadness<br />
with humor, with each bit of grim news, the<br />
jokes kept coming, even when in-person<br />
mourning was impossible. From the start of<br />
the pandemic, there were countless memes —<br />
toilet paper as currency, parents scraping their<br />
kids’ “honor student” stickers off the car after<br />
remote learning, silly handshake alternatives<br />
— anything to provide respite from reality.<br />
Not everyone is comfortable with this sort of<br />
gallows humor, but the people who are tend to<br />
find each other. This October, as we approach<br />
another quarantine-o-ween, consider celebrating<br />
the people who laugh at your dark<br />
puns. It’s time to gather your ghouls.<br />
Meet at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048<br />
Washington Street, and explore Scarecrow<br />
Alley through November 2. Admission is<br />
free. This is the 13th year that civic groups,<br />
business, and individuals have been decorating<br />
four square-foot slices of the estate.<br />
Everyone starts with two stakes and some<br />
hay, and “munchkins,” children aged 3-10,<br />
get one smaller stake. Creativity runs wild,<br />
resulting in a variety of scarecrow characters<br />
and groupings. Some displays are pretty, some<br />
over-the-top, but they are all in good fun —<br />
the works of the munchkins are delightful.<br />
Ghost stories are a great distraction,<br />
especially when they storyteller links them to<br />
familiar places. Invite your familiar faces to<br />
the Ghosts of Cape May Trolley Tour. Tours<br />
last 30 minutes. Masks are required on the<br />
trolley, which leaves from the Washington<br />
Street Mall information booth at Ocean Street.<br />
Visit capemaymac.org for digital tickets —<br />
$20 for adults, $15 for children. Accessible<br />
tours require 48 hours advance planning —<br />
call 609-884-5404 (press 0). Arrive 15 minutes<br />
early and leave extra time for parking.<br />
Join the “immersive theatrical event” that<br />
is “The Gloomy Apparition 2: A Gloomier<br />
Apparition.” This theatrical tour explores<br />
what happens when a visitor shakes things<br />
up at the Emlen Physick Estate. You and a<br />
friend could solve the mystery. Tickets are<br />
$30 for adults and $25 for children. Masks are<br />
required. Parking on the grounds is free.<br />
Enjoy the Halloween Crafts and<br />
Collectibles show on Saturday, October 30<br />
from 10-3. And bring your littlest ghouls back<br />
on October 31 from 5-7, to trick or treat among<br />
the scarecrows.<br />

simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate<br />
the wisdom herein.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
Four of us couples get together every<br />
Friday night for a potluck supper and to play<br />
cards afterwards. One woman is divorced and<br />
brings whomever she is dating at the time. The<br />
gentlemen are not always a good fit, but we<br />
always seem to make the best of it. Her latest<br />
conquest, however, has a habit of grabbing me<br />
as he leaves and planting a kiss on my lips. He<br />
doesn’t do that with any of the other women<br />
and his behavior varies. I suspect it has to do<br />
with how much he has had to drink. Which is<br />
why I think he always takes me unawares. I<br />
never seem to catch on. What I want to know<br />
is how do I break this bad habit? I don’t want<br />
to make a big deal of it, just a little Pavlovian<br />
behavioral training. — Icky<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
Dear Icky<br />
Girl, you need to practice the cheek move.<br />
When those lips are coming near you, turn<br />
your cheek to him and he’ll quickly get the<br />
message. Also, when everyone is leaving make<br />
sure you are otherwise occupied with plenty<br />
of people around you acting as linebackers.<br />
Meanwhile, head on over to go Bath Time or<br />
Place on Earth and get yourself some nice<br />
bubble bath products and soak the icky away.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I met a man at Carney’s whom I like very<br />
much. However, I do not like the fact that when<br />
we are out, he can’t keep that phone alone.<br />
I resent it. He sits across from me checking<br />
sports scores, texting work colleagues,<br />
responding to tweets and Instagram while I<br />
sit staring up at the ceiling. I’m beginning to<br />
wonder if this is why he didn’t have a girlfriend<br />
before I came along. He’s very handsome and<br />
very nice but I have to say this could be a deal<br />
breaker for me. — Ignored<br />
Dear Ignored<br />
Make a deal with him to leave the phone<br />
in the car for the duration of dinner or while<br />
you’re at Carney’s having cocktails. If he<br />
dismisses you, you can, A: Find another man<br />
to talk to while he is otherwise absorbed and<br />
see if he notices. If he doesn’t, well you have<br />
your answer. Or B: Give him an ultimatum<br />
because your instincts are correct. If he is this<br />
detached this early in the relationship, it won’t<br />
get any better. Or as the Answer Lady’s daddy<br />
used to say, “Handsome is as handsome does.”<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 />
MAYDAY is a young boy who loves people<br />
and affection. He came to the shelter when his<br />
family could no longer care for him. Mayday<br />
loves to run around the yard, car rides and<br />
seems to get along with other dogs. He needs<br />
a family that will work with him to increase<br />
his confidence and better his training. Mayday<br />
would be best in a home with older children.<br />
BOWSER is a bundle of fun and energy! He<br />
often forgets he isn't a lap dog, but this big boy<br />
has a lot of love to give. He came to the shelter<br />
when his family could no longer care for<br />
him. Bowser enjoys car rides but does not like<br />
crates. He has been good with children and<br />
cats in the past but would be best in a home<br />
with older children.<br />
SNOWBALL is a quirky little man who came<br />
to the shelter when his owners could no longer<br />
care for him. Snowball has a vision deficiency<br />
which makes him a little nervous so going<br />
slowly with him is important. He enjoys car<br />
rides and is treat motivated. Snowball would<br />
do well in a quiet home with no children where<br />
his needs will be understood.<br />

ASHER is a wonderful, good-natured cat.<br />
He is a Siamese and Domestic Short-Hair<br />
mix who is very smart and curious. Asher is<br />

new surroundings. If interested in adopting<br />
this adorable and friendly kitten, contact the<br />
shelter.<br />
BANDIT AND BIDDY are a bonded pair of<br />
female kitties who would be best adopted<br />
together. This harmonious duo is affectionate<br />
and playful — they are always playing<br />
together! Bandit and Biddy are both housetrained<br />
with short coats. If interested in<br />
bringing this cute pair of felines home, contact<br />
the shelter.<br />
MUFASA, KIARA, AND SARABI are a cute<br />
trio of incredible acrobats and comedians.<br />
They are all friendly but do have some scars<br />
from their past. Mufasa, Kiara and Sarabi<br />
came to the shelter from a bad situation and<br />
have some scratches on their corneas but can<br />
fully see. They are healthy and happy kittens<br />
ready for a new home.<br />
