Every Thursday, Exit Zero magazine is<br />
delivered to around 300 establishments<br />
in the area. But you can get a jump<br />
on it by reading online every Tuesday<br />
morning! We also operate a retail store<br />
and restaurant (see below), located at<br />
110 Sunset Boulevard on the beautiful<br />
Cape Island.<br />
Please note: We no longer offer<br />
subscriptions to our weekly magazine.<br />
Too many people were receiving issues<br />
very late or, in some cases, not at all.<br />
That’s all down to the vagaries of<br />
sending by bulk mail. EXCEPTION: You<br />
can pay $100 to get EZ delivered firstclass<br />
(there is a hardcore of fans who DO<br />
this!). Call 609-770-8479 to order.<br />
EXIT ZERO HOSPITALITY<br />
The Exit Zero Hospitality group also<br />
operate the Exit Zero Filling Station<br />
restaurant in Cape May and, in 2021,<br />
took over the concessions at Cape May-<br />
Lewes ferry terminal in North Cape May.<br />
We launched two new restaurants —<br />
Exit Zero Ferry Station, The Lookout and<br />
Cafe 64, a grab-and-go eatery and retail<br />
store. We will be operating those until<br />
February 29, 2024.<br />

Where We’re Shopping<br />
Here’s what the EZ team was browsing this week<br />
STOP BY FOR A<br />
POUR AT THE SHORE!<br />
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe<br />
even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining<br />
establishments. Well we’re shifting into the holiday shopping<br />
season and it’s only fitting that this column follows suit.<br />
CAPEMAYBREWERY.COM<br />
We’ll give you the skinny on the clothes we try on, the candles<br />
@CAPEMAYBREWCO | 609.849.9933<br />
we smell, the snacks we sample, who we bumped into and, you know,<br />
the general lay of the land PLUS where to find the best gifts this season.<br />
The place: The Original Fudge Kitchen with locations on the Washington<br />
Street Mall and on the Promenade near Cape May Convention<br />
Hall. And that’s just the beginning... you can also find their delicious<br />
Uncle Bill’s<br />
fudge and tasty taffy in Wildwood, Ocean City and Stone Harbor.<br />
The story: Brothers Joe and Paul Bogle opened their first store in<br />
Wildwood in 1972 and they’ve been using the same recipe ever since.<br />
They’ve opened six more stores and produce delicious treats that<br />
include their handmade fudge and saltwater taffy. The Bogle family<br />
passed the torch to Karen Thompson and the Thompson family in 2021<br />
and they continue to hold the Fudge Kitchen to the same standard, pro-<br />

The fudge and more: The Original Fudge Kitchen’s hand-whipped,<br />
or buy $50 & get $10 FREE<br />
homemade fudge is just the beginning. They’ve got over 20 flavors of<br />
fudge you can mix and match into one-pound boxes — chocolate, chocolate<br />
peanut butter, chocolate nut, maple walnut and sea salt caramel<br />
vanilla to name a few. Don’t forget about the saltwater taffy — pick your<br />
flavors or just grab an assortment. Then there’s the irresistible candy,<br />
and TONS of it. Almond bark, cashew turtles, nonpareils, peanut butter<br />
cups, jordan crackers, cordial cherries... so many ways to curb that<br />
sweet tooth. For those shying away from the heavy sugar content, the<br />
Original Fudge Kitchen offers sugar-free options of their fudge and<br />
saltwater taffy. The store is packed with options for everyone, and the<br />
holidays are the time to indulge. Pick up a couple boxes for a loved one<br />
this holiday season.<br />
Mon-Fri 7am-2pm | Sat-Sun 6:30am-2pm<br />
The takeaway: The Original Fudge Kitchen is open year-round,<br />
Toys for Tots & CM Community Food Closet opening daily at 9am at all of their locations. In addition to shopping<br />
drop off location<br />
small in their stores, they also offer corporate gifts and wedding favors<br />
for your next event. Customize for the occasion and they’ll help you<br />
every step of the way. Stop by a store to check everything out — you’ll<br />

What You Need To<br />
Know About The<br />
Food And The Vibe<br />
Enjoy this two-story, vibrant beachfront restaurant<br />
that offers authentic Mexican dishes and handcrafted<br />
margaritas made with artisanal tequilas.<br />
This local favorite serves delicious food for lunch and<br />
dinner. And they have a pet-firendly patio too. Check<br />
out their sister restaurant, 5 West Pub, too.<br />
Filled with everything you need to keep you going<br />
all day long. Enjoy fresh-brewed La Colombe coffee,<br />
specialty drinks and an assortment of baked goods<br />
and breakfast paninis.<br />
A Cape May legend. Inside, you’ll enjoy a classic<br />
pub atmosphere. Outside, it’s a great spot for<br />
people watching. Check their ad for upcoming live<br />
entertainment.<br />
Reliably good food — there is a reason why people<br />
wait in line. You can sit outside with ocean and beach<br />
views — and dine with your dog if the weather is<br />
nice.<br />
Fine dining in a classic old hotel, where both the<br />
decor and the food are inspired. Voted one of the<br />
best restaurants in the state by New Jersey Monthly<br />
magazine.<br />
A new family-friendly Italian restaurant, from the<br />
same owners as the popular Conshocken restaurant.<br />
Expect classic Italian food done right and a welcome<br />
as hearty as the pasta dishes.<br />
If you want to bring the family for a fine and fun<br />
Italian meal, look no further. The kids will love it.<br />

As autumn winds down, birders gird<br />
themselves for the privations of<br />
winter, fewer birds and less daylight.<br />
Happily, in Cape May, privations<br />
are mitigated by the wealth of<br />
wintering species. Cape May’s Christmas Bird<br />
Count leads all northeaster counts.<br />
Waterfowl abound on unfrozen lakes and<br />
just offshore, to get a taste of our seabird<br />
wealth, take a transect across Delaware Bay on<br />
the ferry. Not only will you see lots of scooters<br />
and Lesser Scaup, but you’ll also be treated<br />
to Northern Gannet, Red-throated Loon and<br />
on the Lewes breakwater, Great Cormorant.<br />
Some years Razorbills, a penguin-like alcid,<br />
may be seen on morning trips. I suspect they<br />
forage over the shoals in the bay.<br />
If you want to save the cost of a walk-on<br />
ferry crossing, many of these birds can also<br />
be seen around the Second Avenue Jetty in<br />
Cape May. The hardy Purple Sandpipers<br />
scrambling over the jetty are just a bonus.<br />
While most Arctic breeding shorebirds elect<br />
to winter farther south, the doughty Purple<br />
Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Sandpiper winters on rocky coasts and jetties<br />
all the way to Greenland. As the planet’s<br />
northernmost wintering sandpiper, Some<br />
North American breeders even winter in<br />
Spitzbergen and Iceland.<br />
On sandy beaches strollers are treated<br />
to waves of Sanderling whose feeding antics<br />
make it seem the birds are playing tag with the<br />
waves. Wintering gulls, in assorted plumages<br />
line the beach but you will search in vain for<br />
Laughing Gull, our “summer gull.” These have<br />
moved farther south.<br />
This winter, cardinals, Blue Jays, and Redbellied<br />
Woodpeckers add splashes of color to<br />
the winter landscape at your feeders. But if all<br />
your feeders attract are Carolina Chickadees,<br />
you will be well served. Across winter woodlands<br />
chickadees form the core of mixed feeding<br />
flocks. Being attuned to the lively banter of<br />
chickadees may lead you to a blizzard of birds.<br />
The key to attracting a variety of species<br />
to your feeders is to offer a diversity of food<br />
types. Mixed seed, Black-oil Sunflower seed,<br />
suet, raisons, and shelled peanuts are all relished.<br />
Don’t forget the water. In winter, birds<br />
still need to drink and bathe. A shallow tray<br />
of water will attract birds even when feeders<br />
do not. Robins are compulsive bathers, and<br />
they winter here by the thousands, feasting on<br />
holly berries. The raspberry headed birds at<br />
your thistle feeder are probably House Finch.<br />
Goldfinch, too relish thistle but don’t expect<br />
brightly plumaged birds, in winter the state<br />
bird is in drabber plumage.<br />
Will the Magic of Cape May<br />
be enough to heal a fractured family<br />
in time for Christmas?<br />

The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
If laughter is the best medicine, Netflix is<br />
the biggest drug dealer! Stand-up comedy<br />
shows seem to be the streaming<br />
giant’s staple. Over the years, they have<br />
released dozens of hour-long shows.<br />
Some of the names are household names like<br />
Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle, some I’ve<br />
never heard of. But the world must need a<br />
good laugh, because these shows are getting<br />
a lot of views.<br />
There are two standup specials in the top<br />
10 most popular on Netflix this week. One is<br />
from a guy I don’t know: Mike Birbiglia. He<br />
has this whole bit about how his dad had a<br />
heart attack at 56 and so did his grandfather.<br />
He says, “I’ve always thought I should set<br />
aside that whole year…” funny. One of the<br />
comedians I do know, Matt Rife, I’ve always<br />
liked. Now, he’s become a cancel target.<br />
Don’t know Rife? That’s not too surprising.<br />
He’s a TikTok superstar. Oh, wait… don’t<br />
think I’m hip because I know trendy TikTok<br />
influencers. If it wasn’t for my wife scrolling<br />
through her phone, I’d be lost. Rife self-produced<br />
his own specials on YouTube to get<br />
tens of millions of views. Impressive. And<br />
as a YouTuber myself with tens of… well…<br />
ten views, you’d think that impresses me the<br />
most. But it’s not.<br />
Ever see a comedian striking back at a<br />
heckler? Pretty hilarious. Best comeback:<br />
Steve Martin on his comedy album A Wild<br />
and Crazy Guy (1978). Yeah, growing up all<br />
I bought was comedy albums (sort of my<br />
Netflix). On this album, someone tries to<br />
heckle Martin, and he says, “Yeah, I remember<br />
when I had my first beer.” The crowd ate it up.<br />
Fast forward to the 2020s. On his TikTok<br />
videos, Rife has an uncanny ability to find<br />
people in the audience and heckle them! He<br />
really rips into people when they answer<br />
his questions. It’s brilliant. He rips in pretty<br />
hard… but never too far.<br />
Critics think he’s gone too far on Netflix.<br />
He jokes about domestic violence and other<br />
taboo issues. But are there any taboo issues<br />
in comedy? Many in the cancel culture are<br />
calling for his head. Somehow, I’ve always<br />
thought that makes a comedian even more<br />
in demand. Check out his videos on YouTube<br />
first. On Netflix, I was disappointed he never<br />
interacted with the audience (clearly his<br />
strong suit), so I wasn’t overly impressed. But<br />
is it cancellation time? You be the judge.<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, enjoy house tours throughout Cape May!<br />

Since they began almost 50 years<br />
ago, the house tours offered by Cape<br />
May MAC have joined the ranks of<br />
beloved Christmas traditions, along<br />
with things like seeing the Nutcracker<br />
and visiting Santa. Couples who first joined<br />
the tours decades ago now return with their<br />
children, or grandchildren, to soak up the<br />
Victorian holiday atmosphere.<br />
Like many beloved traditions, the house<br />
tours require a little more effort than many<br />
of us remember. Expect lines — on your tour,<br />
at the restaurant later on, in the stores, and in<br />
the parking lots. There may be some confusion.<br />
Bring your patience — remember that<br />
it’s crowded because it’s a great place to be!<br />
To make the most of your visit, start with the<br />
Cape May MAC website (capemaymac.org),<br />
click on “Learn More” under the “Christmas<br />
Candlelight House Tours,” and watch their<br />
“Tips for a successful tour” video. It offers<br />
useful information, like “bring a flashlight,”<br />
and reminds us that this is a HUGE event,<br />
drawing tourists aplenty. Knowing where to<br />
attach your wristband, planning your route<br />
and accepting that it’s nearly impossible to<br />
see all of the houses makes things more fun<br />
for everyone. Even the etiquette reminders<br />
like “don’t bring food or drink” and “don’t take<br />
pictures without permission” are useful, as is<br />
the reminder to reservations in advance.<br />
Many of the tours are similar, so double<br />
check your dates and times. Each will<br />
give you a delightful dose of Christmas spirit.<br />
The Physick Family Christmas House Tour<br />
($20 adult, $15 child) is a one-location tour,<br />
presenting the 1879 estate “through the<br />
eyes of a family member in the 1900s.” The<br />
Christmas Candlelight House Tour ($45 per<br />
adult, $30 per child) is primarily a walking<br />
tour, so wear comfortable shoes and dress<br />
in layers — and do bring that flashlight to<br />
make walking on these charming sidewalks<br />
easier. The Holiday Inn Tour ($25/$15) is like<br />
a smaller, daytime version of the Candlelight<br />
Tour. The Lamplighter Tour ($35/$25) runs<br />
through December 28 and includes the Old-<br />
Fashioned Christmas Exhibit at the Carroll<br />
Gallery, where you can drop a letter to Santa.<br />
You can also choose one of MAC’s trolley<br />
tours, which can feature Mrs. Claus, a friendly<br />
ghost or two, or the hottest Cape May gossip<br />
from a century ago. You may encounter a singalong<br />
of Christmas carols, and if you dislike<br />
singalongs, just let it go and remember that<br />
festive vibes take many forms. If you can’t get<br />
to Cape May this December, check out the<br />
videos on the website.<br />

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from<br />
gentle readers on all manner of relationship<br />
quandaries, matters of the<br />
heart and ethics. If you’d like to send<br />
a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or,<br />
simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate<br />
the wisdom herein.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I am at my wit’s end. I’ve lived a long and<br />
complete life with husbands, careers and<br />
friends. I am not lonely, and my social card is<br />
full. But this woman in the neighborhood is<br />
constantly accosting me at get togethers about<br />
not having had children. I have never had this<br />
happen with anyone, not even my mother. She<br />
makes a point of it every time we are in mixed<br />
company. How do I handle this? — Bothered<br />
Dear Bothered<br />
This woman is clearly jealous of you, and<br />
you are probably not the only target of what<br />

The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
life. Do you? Are you happy?” People often<br />
obsess about things in other’s lives, that are<br />
actually troubling in their own life. Let her<br />
chew on that while you visit Cape May Cheese<br />
shop for some delicious cheeses and spreads.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I’m dreading our annual family Christmas<br />
gathering. Every year my grandfather waits<br />
until we are halfway through dinner and<br />
having a great time to drop some inappropriate<br />
bombshell. It is always about some political<br />
situation or topic which is either racist or<br />
chauvinistic. I don’t even think he believes<br />
that crap. My mother gets upset and I feel like<br />
a hypocrite staying silent. We let him rant and<br />
then clear the table for dessert, but it puts a real<br />
damper on our great time. Is there anything I<br />
can do to stand up for my beliefs without it<br />
turning into a war? — Had Enough<br />
Dear Enough<br />
Naturally, you and your family look at<br />
him as grandpa. Instead, think of him as a<br />
narcissist who can’t stand it if the light isn’t<br />
shining on him. He loves to hold court, so let<br />
him, but control it and snatch the limelight<br />
away from him. When he says something<br />
out of order, ask why he feels that way. Ask<br />
him what led him to think that. Then bring<br />
other family members into the conversation<br />
by focusing not on his opinion but the<br />
circumstances that led to it. Make it a history<br />
lesson which involves every generation. Then<br />
hand him a jar of honey from Cape May Honey<br />
Farm to sweeten the conversation.<br />

BLAZE is a handsome boy who came to the<br />
shelter when his owner died and is a bit anxious<br />
over the turn his life has taken. He does<br />
require some basic training for leash walking<br />
and certain cue but is very treat motivated. A<br />
home that understands his anxiety and is willing<br />
to work with him will allow him to grow<br />
into a fine companion.<br />
ROCKY AND CHUBBS came to the shelter<br />
recently after their owner suddenly passed<br />
away. These two depend on each other and<br />
must be adopted together. Rocky is an eightyear-old<br />
purebred Jack Russel and Chubbs is a<br />
13-year-old mix Jack Russel. They are in great<br />
health and were very well cared for so a new<br />
loving home will suit them well.<br />
COCO came to the shelter as a stray and<br />
needs a home that will provide a healthy diet<br />
and plenty of exercise. She is a large German<br />
Shepherd who loves to run around the yard<br />
and playing with both humans and other dogs.<br />
Coco will be a wonderful family companion in<br />
a home that will continue her training and give<br />
her continuity.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
MIMOSA was found in a hoarder house left<br />
in very poor care with her kitten Shirley Temple<br />
(right). They love each other and it would<br />
be best if these two were adopted together.<br />
Mimosa will warm up to you well after being<br />
given some love and can happily live with<br />
other cats and children. If interested in bringing<br />
these two home, contact the shelter.<br />
SHIRLEY TEMPLE is a six-month-old<br />
girl who was found in a hoarder house and<br />
brought to the shelter by Animal Control. She<br />
tends to shiver a bit when held, but loves to be<br />
pet. It may take some patience, but Shirley will<br />
warm up to you if given some love and attention.<br />
She’d do well in a home with other cats<br />
and children.<br />
TAYLOR SWIFT is a five-month-old kitten<br />
who was found in a trash can starving to death<br />
before she was brought to the shelter. After<br />
a lot of TLC, she is ready to be centerstage in<br />
her new home. Taylor Swift would be good<br />
in a home with other cats and children. She<br />
is up to date on all vaccinations and spayed.<br />
If interested in this cutie, contact the shelter.<br />
