Open Thanksgiving 7am-12pm 

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our customers, 

employees & friends. We are grateful for you! 

Bring in nonperishable food and receive a 

free coffee - must show this ad to cashier. 

Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe 

even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining 

establishments. Well we’re shifting into the holiday shopping 

season and it’s only fitting that this column follows suit. 

We’ll give you the skinny on the clothes we try on, the candles 

we smell, the snacks we sample, who we bumped into and, you know, 

the general lay of the land PLUS where to find the best gifts this season. 

The place: The Days Sustainable Apparel on Washington Street 

right next to Shore Soaps in Cape May. This shop offers pieces all 

crafted from upcycled materials and plant-based textiles. They’ve also 

ventured into partnerships with places like the Boarding House and 

Out There Coffee to create products from old linens, pillow cases and 

coffee bags. There’s plenty of cool items to check out here. 

The owners: Alexa D’Amico and husband Shaun Guglielmi opened 

the Days Sustainable Apparel in 2022. They chose Cape May as their 

first store’s location thanks to its history, art, culture, and early childhood 

vacations Alexa took with her family. Alexa studied at the Fashion 

Institute and developed a brand that’s focused on ethical practices from 

sourcing their products to the treatment of employees. It’s not all about 

running a business but making a difference through educating buyers. 

She and Shaun aim to combat the detrimental impacts fast fashion has 

on the environment and create a well-rounded shopping experience. 

The clothes: Many of the products they carry are made from upcycled 

materials including beach towels. They have a range of terrycloth 

items like hats, bags, clutches and for this holidays season, stockings 

to hang on the chimney with care! You’ll also want to check out tees 

made from hemp — very comfortable and lightweight. The Days also 

has a few dresses made from hemp that can be casual or dressed up for 

a night out. Maybe with an upcycled skateboard deck necklace? They’re 

hand cut and finished in Pennsylvania, designed in New Jersey. 

The takeaway: The Days Sustainable Apparel is open Wednesday- 

Sunday from 10am-6pm. If you can’t make it over during open hours, 

shop online at thedaysapparel.com and they’ll ship your order to you. 

This is a great place to pick up some presents for the environmentalist 

in your life, the fashionista who practices sustainability, or someone 

you want to pick up a cute and fun outfit for and feel good about who 

you’re shopping with.

www.luckybonesgrill.com 

This local legend of an eatery serves up their signature 

breakfast items, mouth-watering lunches and 

generous dinners all in a welcoming and relaxed 

environment. 

Chef Carl Messick has taken over what was once 

Godmother’s and transformed it into a relaxed, finedining 

restaurant. Exquisite dishes featuring seasonal 

and sustainable ingredients. 

A locals’ favorite for a reason. There’s a Key West vibe, 

good food, regular entertainment, and the views are 

spectacular. 

A little slice of paradise on the bay, enjoy dishes 

with Caribbean flair, listen to a few jam bands and 

watch spectacular sunsets while sipping a cocktail or 

domestic draft. 

This year brings new ownership to the beachfront 

restaurant and bar. Rooftop dining, live music, fresh 

local seafood and signature orange crushes — the 

fun awaits! 

Just steps from the Washington Street Mall, Iccara 

Italian Bistro & Seafood brings you the fresh flavors of 

Italy in a charming, welcoming atmosphere. 

A Jersey Shore classic serving brunch and dinner. 

Visit their full bar mixing up specialty Jersey-themed 

cocktails, craft beer, and much more. Enjoy indoor 

and outdoor dining with an expanded patio. 

Offering fresh seafood and a variety of burgers, 

sandwiches, salads and apps. Make sure to grab a 

stool upstairs overlooking Surfside Pier and enjoy 

local craft beer and signature cocktails. 

Take-out, fish market, restaurant, raw bar, breakfast, 

dinner... The Lobster House has it all. Drinks on the 

Schooner American before dinner is a must-do Cape 

May experience. 

The menu features all regional fare including fish, 

vegetables, fruits and herbs from Beach Plum Farm 

and other New Jersey farms. They also offer some fun 

sweets next door at the Chocolate Shop. 

A huge hit and locals’ favorite for a reason. Excellent 

food (the thin-crust pizzas are excellent), great bar 

vibe and service. Lucky Bones gets it right every time.

Bird Droppings 

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu 

It’s called a “Hawk Watch” platform, but 

that elevated wooden structure is much 

more. Those in attendance are equal 

opportunity observers. Anything with 

feathers and a few things without are 

grist for our mill. Snapping turtles, Southern 

Gray Tree Frogs, Green Darner dragonflies. If 

it’s within binocular range, it has our interest. 

Take today, bluebird conditions and SSW 

winds, hardly hawk watching conditions. 

But there is always something to appreciate. 

Today it was scores of Tree Swallows cutting 

cookie-cutter patterns over the platform. 

There were Monarch butterflies, White Ibis, 

and a White crowned Sparrow. 

Hawks, yes, a few. Lots of Cooper’s 

Hawks, a few harriers, Red-tailed and Redshouldered 

Hawks and a late Osprey and 

later Broad-winged Hawk. The showstopper 

was the multiple flocks or “kettles,” of Turkey 

Vultures, swirling in thermals, rising aloft. 

Not necessarily attractive up close, but at a 

distance, vultures are the picture of grace and 

aerial finesse. “It’s like Zen,” one newcomer to 

the hawk watch assessed. And it is. The flight 

of vultures is mesmerizing, soothing. The 

opposite of haste and hurry. 

From now until early December, vultures 

can be counted upon to enliven the skies. 

In their wheeling ranks, you will find burley 

Red-tailed Hawks, elegant Red-shouldereds 

and the odd eagle or two, all drawn to the rising 

bubble of air the vultures seek. 

Vultures are bellwethers. You find vul- 

tures, you find hawks. Out on Bunker Pond, 

the ranks of migrating ducks are filling nicely. 

Gadwall, in their tasteful gray attire, tends 

to hug the northern shore. Elegant Pintails 

cluster mid-pond, Green-winged Teal hug 

the shores. Wigeon and Mallards space 

themselves out. While most observers gush 

about the colors of waterfowl, the mix of duck 

sounds is equally gratifying. 

Mallards quack. Gadwall’s quack is muffled. 

Teal squeal. Shovelers snort and wigeon 

whistle, a comical two-note toot. Eurasian 

Wigeon emits a held single note. Canada 

Geese? Well, you guess. The great thing about 

November are the numbers of real live wild 

Canada’s that come to town. Arriving in classic 

echelon formation the birds breast the 

water with a whoop and a whoosh. 

I love the spectacle of November migrants. 

Bring binoculars and dress warmly. A northeast 

wind is best. Migrating seabirds like a tail 

wind. For daily, real-time count numbers go 

to njaudubon.org and click on “Watches.” It’s 

the next best thing to being there.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been able 

to say this: our film festival is open to 

review your film! Or maybe the film 

of someone you know! The Exit Zero 

Film Festival is the weekend of March 

15-17, 2024 at the End of the Road Theater 

in North Cape May. Find out more at www. 

ExitZeroFilmFest.com. 

There, you’ll see a link to send us your 

project. It’s all digital — give the deets and 

upload a link to your movie online. Or send 

the submission site to someone you know 

who has a project recently completed. 

Years ago, it was my honor to serve with 

local favorite Stefan Prosky (we miss him!), 

Dottie Knapp, and a host of other volunteers 

who fueled the award-winning Cape 

May Film Festival. It was a blast to screen 

the works of filmmakers — and meet them 

too! Now, it’s back! And we can’t wait to see 

what new movies are out there waiting to be 

discovered! 

If you haven’t been to the End of the 

Road Theater, you are missing out! The place 

The Movie Column 

By arts columnist Tom Sims 

is amazing. Cozy seating. Elegant and fun 

atmosphere. The place has an unmistakable 

vibe that gives us the perfect setting to enjoy 

indie films and meet their creators! Thanks to 

Jennifer Swain for pursuing her vision to make 

a spot for film and arts events for the whole 

region! Bravo! 

We know there are people and businesses 

who supported the Cape May Film Festival 

and are asking, “How can I be part of this 

extraordinary event?” Simple! Call or email 

to let us know. There are sponsor packages 

that come complete with program ads and 

weekend passes to the event. We know Cape 

May loves film! And we know you love to get 

involved! So let’s all get together to put on a 

show! 

This column is more than articles about 

what’s on TV or in movies. We are a community 

of story lovers, no matter the format. 

Now, it’s time to get on the scene! Send a film, 

encourage an indie creator to send theirs, 

become a sponsor, or simply get the word out! 

Help build up this community even more — 

and have fun doing it! 

A good film can change us. It can make 

us laugh or jump out of our seats. It can make 

us cry or even think. Email me at exitzeromediafest@gmail.com 

to learn more about the 

festival and the impact you can make!

The Activity Column 

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, ! 

Many of our holiday activities are 

dictated by tradition, but, “tradition” 

is always in flux — look 

at the ruckus that ensued when 

Queen Victoria embraced the foreign 

custom of the Christmas tree. 

Queen Victoria could not help bucking 

tradition from the beginning of her reign — 

the marked contrast between her and her predecessors 

startled the London establishment. 

She was a young woman assuming a role 

usually played by old men. Victoria was also 

the first monarch crowned after the Reform 

Act of 1832, designed to amplify the role of the 

average (male) citizen in government. Private 

coronations, witnessed only by Parliament 

and the nobility, were a thing of the past. For 

the first time, the public was invited to view 

the procession of the new ruler, and reportedly 

due to a lack of planning, many things 

went awry. Lord Rolle fell down the stairs, the 

music was mediocre, and the coronation ring 

was too small. Her subjects did not seem to 

mind. Thanks to the new railroads bringing 

in tourists from outside of London, 400,000 

came to celebrate. The weather was lovely, the 

fireworks were a hit, and the four-day fair in 

Hyde Park gave a boost to the local economy. 

Victoria’s new Christmas traditions were similarly 

popular. When she and her German husband, 

Albert, brought them to Buckingham 

Palace, religious conservatives objected, but 

when an 1848 image in the “Illustrated London 

News” showed the royal family around their 

Christmas tree, her subjects were charmed, 

and the new tradition took hold. Victoria’s 

reign also saw the reduction in postage from 

one penny in 1840 to a half-penny in 1870, 

which helped to popularize the sending of 

Christmas cards, a tradition which is fading in 

favor of digital holiday messages. 

Your traditions may also be in flux, so you’ll 

need some flexibility planning your Cape May 

holiday. Maybe you love the entire West Cape 

May Christmas parade, but the visiting fiveyear-old 

only wants to stay for 45 minutes. 

If your kids have outgrown “Breakfast with 

Santa” at Congress Hall (caperesorts.com) 

or The Inn of Cape May (capemaymac.org), 

change that tradition to a play like “A Tuna 

Christmas” at Cape May Stage November 

15-December 30 (capemaystage.org) or East 

Lynne Theater Company’s revue, “Lennie’s 

Christmas Extravaganza,” December 7, 8 and 

9. Let older kids skip “Santa’s Trolley Ride” 

with mom and dad in favor of the “Ghosts of 

Christmas Past” on their own — a little independence 

is a great gift.

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from 

gentle readers on all manner of relationship 

quandaries, matters of the 

heart and ethics. If you’d like to send 

a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or, 

simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate 

the wisdom herein. 

Dear Answer Lady 

My parents and I do not get along, yet 

they insist I come to Thanksgiving dinner and 

pretend we are a Disney movie family — all 

love. No favorites. No criticism. Naturally it 

never lasts. By the end of the night, we are at 

each other’s throats. They do not approve of 

my lifestyle. I am an exotic dancer in Atlantic 

City during the summer. I’m also putting 

myself through law school the rest of the year 

so… All this and yet I still do not want to create 

a thing. I love my brothers and sisters. What 

would you suggest? — Alienated 

Dear Alien 

I would suggest reservations. Ask a friend 

to join you and spend the afternoon in Cape 

May like a tourist. Congress Hall is offering a 

The Answer Lady 

Wise answers to perplexing questions 

Thanksgiving Buffet in the Ballroom. Dinner 

is also being served in Tommy’s Folly. Ocean 7 

at the Inn of Cape May is offering Thanksgiving 

dinner. The Ebbitt Room at the Virginia Hotel 

is also offering farm-to-table dining. If you’re 

up to it, join your family for dessert and make 

your exit early rather than taking the bait from 

your parents. Don’t come empty handed. Pick 

up a bottle of bubbly from Colliers Liquor Store 

or a pie from West Side Market. 

Dear Answer Lady 

A man from my gym asked me out and I 

agreed. Then he texts me with the following 

proposition: “I bought us tickets to the late 

show at the Borgata. I made reservations at 

Peter Shield’s Inn (PSI) for 8pm. That will 

give us plenty of time to get to Atlantic City 

and we can stay at my sister’s after.” I said no. 

I told him that is not appropriate for a first 

date, especially the overnight arrangements. I 

barely know him. I said, “Let’s just stick with 

dinner or an afternoon at Cape May Winery.” 

I’ve heard nothing since. Did I do something 

wrong? — Confused 

Dear Confused 

Of course you did nothing wrong. It sounds 

like “Jim” already had you in a relationship in 

his head. There’s no cure for the fact that you 

broke his bubble of reality. The best thing to do 

is to pretend he never asked you out when you 

do run into him again. Be pleasant but don’t 

offer any alternative get togethers. People 

with those kinds of unrealistic expectations 

are best left to their own devices.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923 

ZEKE is a one-and-a-half-year-old boy who 

came to the shelter when his owner could no 

longer care for him. He is a happy pup who 

loves attention. Zeke is learning proper leash 

manners and enjoys his brisk walks. He also 

loves car rides and is crate trained. Zeke would 

make a wonderful companion for a family 

with older children. 

BISQUICK is an eight-year-old girl who came 

to the shelter as a stray. She is quickly becoming 

a favorite of volunteers and staff. Bisquick 

is an energetic, social girl who loves to play in 

the baby pool. Her leash skills are good and 

she enjoys a walk with new smells and sights. 

This sweet girl would do well in a home with 

older children. 

COOPER is an energetic boy who loves to 

splash around in the pool. He has excellent 

leash skills and is a people-pleaser. Cooper 

lived with children previously, but needs to 

be the only pet in his new home. He is cratetrained 

which will help with his transition. He 

is also up to date on all vaccinations, neutered 

and housetrained.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

Six beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923 

TEX is a tall and handsome tuxedo cat. Nothing 

scares this five-year-old boy and he’s 

ready to join a new family. Tex is up to date on 

all vaccinations and neutered. This boy would 

be great in an adult home with other cats, but 

please no dogs. He may be independent but 

loves to be pet and cared for. If interested in 

adopting Tex, contact the shelter. 

ZUZU, ZARA, ZADIE AND ZIPPER are a 

bundle of captivating kittens who were born in 

a potted plant. They are thriving at the shelter, 

but ready to be adopted into a new home. This 

foursome is playful and socialized — they’d all 

do well in a home with other cats and children. 

If interested in taking one of these cuties in, 

contact the shelter. 

ROSS hasn’t had the best of luck. He was happily 

an indoor/outdoor cat in a household with 

children. Neighbors complained to animal 

control a few times so his owners surrendered 

him back to the shelter. Ross is ready to find a 

new loving home with nice enough neighbors 

to allow him to roam as he pleases. Other cats, 

dogs and children would be fine, too!
