BEACH & PERRY, CAPE MAY<br />
Page 12 EXIT ZERO April 4, 2024<br />
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on<br />
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked<br />
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served<br />
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.<br />
The place: We enjoyed a night out at The Washington Inn & Wine<br />
Bar on the corner of Washington Street and Jefferson Street.<br />
The vibe: Courtney, Kayla, Nicole and Caiti grabbed a few stools at<br />
the Wine Bar where bar manager Robin Giannini took excellent care of<br />
us. She recommended a few cocktails and dishes for us to try, and we<br />
can now confidently tell you to listen to her the next time you’re seated<br />
at her bar (more on that later.) The bar area was pretty full for a Friday<br />
night, so it’s in your best interest to arrive early if you want to grab a seat<br />
— there’s a few tables to sit at, too! The lighting is dim and the music is<br />
at the perfect volume to still hold a conversation. It was a great way to<br />
end our long work week.<br />
The drinks: Courtney sipped a — in her words — FILTHY martini<br />
that she reports was ice-cold and exactly as dirty as she was hoping for.<br />
Kayla succumbed to a beautiful photo she saw on Facebook and enjoyed<br />
a Hellfire Margarita and it was as good as the picture led her to believe.<br />
Nicole went for the Washington Inn’s Pear Cosmo and Caiti went for a<br />
glass of Hawke’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc... we were at a wine bar after all.<br />
Robin also made sure we tried the Peach Palmer — a twist on a typical<br />
Arnold Palmer — and we’re so glad she did.<br />
The food: This is where we really indulged. We shared plates of<br />
spiced lamb hummus with radish cucumber, pickled carrots, feta and<br />
pita; Sexy Fries with parmesan, truffle and herbs; Burrata with prosciutto,<br />
capers, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, olive toast and parsley<br />
vinaigrette; AND duck confit on crostini with pickled onion. Everything<br />
was delicious and a lot of ingredients were locally sourced! The<br />
meal didn’t stop there... we couldn’t pass on dessert. We all split crème<br />
brulée, cheesecake and chocolate-hazelnut cake. The best part is that<br />
all the desserts are made in-house by pastry chef Maria Marshall.<br />
The takeaway: We’re already planning our next meet up at the Wine<br />
Bar, open Fri-Sun from 4pm. For a special night out, reserve a table in<br />
the dining room, Fri-Sun from 4:30pm. And don’t skip dessert!

Take-out, fish market, restaurant, raw bar, breakfast,<br />

Schooner American before dinner is a must-do Cape<br />

The menu features all regional fare including fish,<br />
vegetables, fruits and herbs from Beach Plum Farm<br />
and other New Jersey farms. They also offer some fun<br />
sweets next door at the Chocolate Shop.<br />
A huge hit and locals’ favorite for a reason. Excellent<br />
food (the thin-crust pizzas are excellent), great bar<br />
vibe and service. Lucky Bones gets it right every time.<br />
It’s the original fine dining restaurant in Cape May.<br />
The food is always creative and the breakfasts and<br />

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Almost as large as an Albatross,<br />
Northern Gannet, the largest Sulid,<br />
is staging in Delaware Bay, before<br />
traveling on to coastal Canada to<br />
breed. Resembling a large, pointy<br />
winged gull, the fish-eating birds winter<br />
coastally from Cape Cod to Mexico but<br />
spend the summer months packed like sardines<br />
upon rocky cliffs where, in places like<br />
Bonaventure Island, they constitute a tourist<br />
attraction — one of North America’s great<br />
natural spectacles. But Cape May residents<br />
can see the gannet show right from shore.<br />
Migrating birds travel in strings of five to 15<br />
birds. Feeding birds gather over schools of<br />
bait fish like Menhaden. Plunging from 70<br />
feet, hitting the surface at speeds of 60 mph.<br />
Birds can reach depths of 72 feet and then<br />
use their wings to pursue prey. The sight<br />
of dozens of birds arrowing into the water<br />
is mesmerizing and such concentrations are<br />
visible almost daily from the Second Avenue<br />
Jetty in Cape May, any dune crossover in Cape<br />
May Point and the Concrete Ship.<br />
Also present will be hundreds of migrating<br />
scoters, hardy sea ducks as well as Redthroated<br />
Loons whose quacking is heard from<br />
the Second Avenue jetty. Don’t dawdle. By<br />
May the gannet will be gone and you will be<br />
obliged to drive to coastal Quebec and take<br />
the ferry to Bonaventure Island ($25).<br />
For expert help, visit the dune crossover<br />
at the end of Coral Avenue, Cape May Point<br />
where a Spring migration count is conducted<br />
by Cape May Bird Observatory. Conducted<br />
six hours a day (conditions permitting)<br />
beginning at dawn — approximately 500 birds<br />
of 20-25 species are tallied ranging from gannet<br />
to Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Other notable<br />
wildlife like dolphins and whales are tabulated,<br />
too. Not often, but back in the 1600s,<br />
Delaware Bay was a major whaling ground for<br />
the now endangered Atlantic Right Whale.<br />
In these times the occasional Hump-backed<br />
Whale sometimes appears off Cape May.<br />
Dolphins are regular. But most observers go<br />
for the parade of seabirds like scoters, Redbreasted<br />
Merganser and Long-tailed Duck.<br />
Gulls include the tern-like Bonaparte’s Gull<br />
and even the occasional Black-headed Gull.<br />
Dress warmly. The wind off the bay is<br />
always cold but the Spring Count proves that<br />
Cape May is a year-round, bird-watching<br />
destination. And Spring migration is just<br />
peaking. Warblers will be flooding our woodlands<br />
in the weeks ahead, using Cape May as<br />
a steppingstone to breeding areas in the vast<br />
boreal forests of Canada.<br />

Column Editor’s Note: Apparently, my Dune:<br />
Part Two review a couple weeks ago —<br />
where I talked more about the 4DX theater<br />
experience than the movie itself — was<br />
considered… oh, I don’t know… flippant by<br />
one of my readers. Here is his rebuttal.<br />
The first installment of the proposed Dune<br />
trilogy from Dennis Villeneuve was excellent,<br />
and I was incredibly excited when the sequel<br />
was announced. Dune: Part Two is a complete<br />
and utter masterpiece. And while I’ve seen it<br />
twice — yes, in 4DX and then in IMAX — why<br />
the film is so impressive is more important<br />
than how it should be seen. Although I will say<br />
seeing this film in theaters is a must as you’ll<br />
want to be immersed in the world of Dune in<br />
4DX. Before spoilers (and theater experiences<br />
aside), this is the best movie I have ever seen<br />
( yes, I am ranking it that high).<br />
Villeneuve has added a premiere directorial<br />
accomplishment to his long list of spectacular<br />
movies. Timothee Chalamet, who<br />
shined bright in Beautiful Boy (2018), The King<br />
(2019), and Oscar-nominated work in Call<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By guest columnist Anthony Caristo<br />
Me by Your Name (2017), has continued his<br />
streak of strong performances. His character,<br />
Paul Atreides, is internally split as the pressures<br />
of destiny, power and love weigh on his<br />
soul. Atreides’ speech before the Southern<br />
Fundamentalists should be the scene of the<br />
year. It was so real, and the cinematography,<br />
costumes, and scope made it exemplary.<br />
The chemistry between Zendaya’s character,<br />
Chani, and that of Paul is purely beautiful.<br />
The 4DX experience poured the soundtrack<br />
and love from the screen. It embraces you as<br />
if you were a part of it. The emotion between<br />
the two is so strong it makes the relationship<br />
even more believable and (spoiler!) …<br />
tragic, knowing how it plays out. The whole<br />
cast was perfect, with Austin Butler, Rebecca<br />
Ferguson, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin supporting<br />
the lead characters.<br />
This is not just a movie about sand and<br />
worms — that only trivializes its epic themes!<br />
This is a film of love, tragedy, and the power<br />
of a single story that can grip the minds of<br />
millions. The action, script, cinematography,<br />
acting, realistic CGI, and music made Dune:<br />
Part Two truly extraordinary.<br />
Now, I’m on the edge of my seat as I await<br />
news of the next installment, and with the<br />
critical and financial success of part two, that<br />
seems likely! I hope that the next movie can<br />
either meet or rise above my expectations<br />
and not fall victim to its own success. There<br />
is enough material in the books to keep the<br />
momentum high.<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, test your knowledge at trivia!<br />
Once upon a time, you didn’t have all<br />
the knowledge in the world in your<br />
pocket. In the days before you could<br />
prove your point with your smartphone,<br />
you would just not know.<br />
The not-knowing could lead to arguments,<br />
with the most ardent conflicts often centering<br />
on the least-important subjects. According to<br />
legend, most of these arguments occurred in<br />
taverns. This is the reason behind the original<br />
“Guinness Book of World Records,” published<br />
in 1955. The idea came when Sir Hugh Beaver,<br />
Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery,<br />
decided he needed a method of settling pub<br />
arguments. He hired twins Norris and Ross<br />
McWhirter to compile a book of facts and figures,<br />
thinking a few pubs might use it. Within<br />
four months, it was a bestseller and has since<br />
sold about 155 million copies. “The Guinness<br />
Book,” along with an almanac, was used to<br />
settle bets and disagreements until smartphone<br />
use became widespread.<br />
Revisit the adrenaline of these old arguments<br />
by joining a trivia contest in Cape May.<br />
Trivia requires you to recall facts quickly to<br />
earn points, which is good for your brain.<br />
Apparently, recalling one thing today helps<br />
you to recall something else tomorrow. The<br />
rush of competitive trivia has been likened to<br />
gambling, without the risk of losing money.<br />
Trivia gives an added dopamine boost — your<br />
brain feels rewarded even when you only kind<br />
of know. That “I don’t know last year’s best<br />
actress winner’s name, but I can picture her<br />
face,” feeling won’t earn a point, it’s satisfying.<br />
This happens when you’re playing<br />
Jeopardy! alone at home but playing in a<br />
group adds the advantage of sparking connections.<br />
You may find your new friend knows an<br />
answer because they are allergic to peaches, or<br />
they had the Beach Boys’ “Endless Summer”<br />
on 8-track. You may discover one can calculate<br />
complex equations and another has<br />
traveled to all the continents. This gives you<br />
subjects for more interesting conversations<br />
when the trivia games are over.<br />
Nauti Spirits, 916 Shunpike Road, offers<br />
Trivia on Mondays from 6-8pm in the Tasting<br />
Room, prizes for first, second and third place.<br />
Join Quizzo at the Inn of Cape May at 7<br />
Ocean Street on Thursdays from 6 to 9pm<br />
for four rounds and a prize for the winning<br />
team. Cape May Brew Co. (1250 Hornet Road,<br />
Rio Grande) also has Thursday Night Trivia<br />
through April 18, from 6 to 8pm. The winners<br />
will receive a $30 CMBC gift card. CMBC has<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 />
My stepdaughter and her family (husband<br />
and three little ones) are planning to visit<br />
us in Cape May for Memorial Day weekend.<br />
When I sent her a list of realtors to contact and<br />
some hotels, she was so offended that I didn’t<br />
invite her to stay at our house. She implied that<br />
I was trying to keep her from her father. I am<br />
deeply hurt by this because it was her father<br />
who wants them to stay elsewhere. The kids<br />
are too much and so is his daughter, according<br />
to him. I was happy to have them stay. I love<br />
him but he has always been an absentee father.<br />
So, now what do I do? — In the Muddle<br />
Dear Muddle<br />
Make your husband be a stand-up guy and<br />
tell them the truth. The Answer Lady suggests<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
you contact your stepdaughter and tell her you<br />
would love to have them stay with you, but it<br />
is her father who has the final say. Meanwhile,<br />
to show your heart is in the right place, plan<br />
a day ahead of their visit. The Nature Center<br />
of Cape May offers wonderful activities and<br />
Aqua Trails Kayaking is right there as well.<br />
Afterwards, dinner at the Filling Station.<br />
Don’t let anyone cast the evil spell of wicked<br />
stepmother on you.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
My mother visited us over the Easter holiday,<br />
and I am furious with her. My middle<br />
daughter is very sporty and dresses differently<br />
than her sisters. On Easter morning, as<br />
we were headed out to the Blue Pig for Easter<br />
brunch, my mother accused my daughter of<br />
dressing and acting in an “unladylike” manner.<br />
I immediately told my mother this is “not<br />
the 50s” and that it was cruel of her to single<br />
her out in such a “shallow and callous manner.”<br />
My daughter was wounded to the core.<br />
How can I make this up to her. She loves her<br />
Nana. — DisDressed<br />
Dear DisDressed<br />
You make it up by loving her just the way<br />
she is and who she is. That said, there is nothing<br />
pancakes can’t fix. Take her back to the Blue<br />
Pig or Uncle Bill’s and revel in pancakes and<br />
syrup. While waiting, tell your daughter her<br />
Nana is of a different generation and to ignore<br />
such baseless comments in terms of who she<br />
is. Try sharing a story of when you were on the<br />
receiving end of Nana’s rapier comments.<br />

she enjoys a walk with new smells and sights.<br />
This sweet girl would do well in a home with<br />
older children.<br />
COOPER is an amazing pup who’s been at the<br />
shelter since 2021. This two-year-old boy is<br />
crate trained, has wonderful leash skills and<br />
loves to splash around in the pool. Cooper has<br />
lived with children and would make a great<br />
family pet. He does not get along with other<br />
dogs so he would need to be the only pet.<br />
Please give this guy a chance!<br />
LILLY is a lively 11-year-old lab mix. Her<br />
owner passed away and no one in the family<br />
could keep her. Lilly is an energetic girl who<br />
loves to run around the yard and play fetch.<br />
She walks quickly on a leash chasing down<br />
every scent she finds. Lilly is a sweet pup<br />
looking for a loving home to live out her senior<br />
years.<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 />
AKIRA is an eight-month-old girl who was<br />
brought to the shelter when their older cat<br />
didn’t get along with her. She was made an<br />
indoor/outdoor cat, but it became too much.<br />
Akira is a lively, playful and affectionate cat<br />
— she’s also great with other cats and children.<br />
She is up to date on all vaccinations and<br />
spayed.<br />
DIXIE is a beautiful girl who was found living<br />
in a crawl space of an empty house. The<br />
new owners heard her cries and brought her<br />
to the shelter to find a warm new home. Dixie<br />
is about nine years old and very smart. She’s<br />
very gentle and friendly — she’d make a wonderful<br />
family pet. If interested, contact the<br />
shelter.<br />
PUZZLE was found in downtown Tuckahoe<br />
and brought to the shelter by a passerby. This<br />
three-year-old boy hates being in a cage so<br />
leave him to explore your home and he’ll be<br />
happy. Puzzle loves attention and does not<br />
get along with other cats, so it’s best he’s on<br />
his own. He’s neutered and up to date on all<br />
vaccinations.<br />
