Cape May/Wildwood, NJ

So we went to Cape May, NJ this weekend for a little R&R. And I've got some recommendations if you're in the Cape May/Wildwood area.

1. If you want to see Drew Barrymore's doppelgänger, circa the young hooligan years, drive down the Rio Grande street past the Starlux hotel(taking the picture below made me miss taking a picture of this 10 year old smoker)...you can see her hanging outside of the Subway or the house next door. Twice, on separate occasions, I saw this young drew Barrymore look alike lighting up a cigarette like a pro and spinning a cig around her finger.


2. Do the Original Haunted Cape May Tour because it is so kick @$$! It's all researched real life ghost phenomena...not folklore, legend, rumor, man jumping out of bushes with a halloween mask kind of stuff. Why do people get a kick out of hearing stories about deaths and ghosts haunting their death spot, or ghosts jealous of the living? I don't know, but it's cool. We thought we could see a figure in the window. It gets creepy if you stare at it too long.

3. I do not have a hotel recommendation because I didn't not like staying at the Cliveden Inn Bed & Breakfast (I don't like old antique-ish things, they feel dirty to me, no matter how many times you wash..even the wallpaper made me feel dirty)...but if you plan on staying in Wildwood...kitchy 50s & 60s styled hotels are the way to go....


4. Do not try the Black Duck on Sunset Restaurant in West Cape May...it is very overrated. If you think the food here is fabulous...obviously you've never eaten well in NYC.

5. If you love mini golf as much as me...do not play mini golf in Cape May, esp. at the Stockton Gold at 801 Beach Ave...it's a $14 rip off. Instead go to Shipwreck Island Adventure Golf at 5000 Park Blvd in Wildwood. it looks much better and it's probably worth whatever the cost.
