My wife and I have a wedding to go to next weekend and we're staying at the "Drifting Sands" Hotel right of the beach down in Ships Bottom.
We plan on getting down there late morning next Thursday... anyone familiar with the area for a good place to have late breakfast or lunch? How about good places for dinner?
What are the foodie "hot spots"? .... any local input would be great!
raimondos is basically across the street from where you're staying. jayson's pancake house (about 2 blocks away) for breakfast. the greenhouse is good also (again about 2 blocks). the plantation (surf city, need to drive) for drinks is good. i've had a good meal there but apparently it's inconsistent. la spiaggia right before you leave the island on the causeway is excellent. it's walkable but i'd drive. the arlington is a nice atmosphere, i didn't care for the menu but people love it. it's walkable. howard's for seafood. chicken or the egg is good for comfort food and wings. there's no shortage of good eating on lbi.
4th of July Weekend... sorry I should have specified! I have to imagine it could be pretty busy for the holiday but we didn't pick the wedding date! hehehe...
Chicken or the Egg I heard was a hot spot... we'll certainly try to check it out!

Thanks! I'm writing all this stuff down so I can remember, hehehe.
more: buckelew's (american casual), bisque (love), roberto's dolce vita (italian). thanks for making me long to go to lbi! LOL
be prepared to wait, go to chicken or the egg at an off time.
LOL... sorry I've given you that "itch"! lol... it's our first time heading down that way so I'm excited for a nice extended beach weekend.
