Union Park - recommended for nice family dinner?

I am looking for a nice family dinner next Saturdays night and made a reservation at Union Park. I love the location on the beach and the menu had the right combination of food my family eats. But then I checked Yelp and yikes. Starting about 6 months ago the review ratings declined. Should I avoid Union Park? Is it a retirement home looking dumpy with poor service?

How walkable is Cape May?

I thinking about vacationing in Cape May next year, my partner and I prefer to leave the car at our lodging and walk around. Is this very doable in the area?

huge procession of police SUVs and cruisers on GSP

just witnessed a massive procession of police vehicles traveling south on the parkway. around 9 pm on Monday night.

at least 100 vehicles, maybe more. from a mix of different municipalities around Cape May county.

they were getting off at exit 11, just north of Courthouse.

any ideas as to what this could be? was wondering whether a funeral or memorial for an officer, but it would be an odd time for that.

Bachelorette Must-Dos

Hi all! I’m Maid of Honor for my best friend and she has requested her bachelorette take place in Cape May next April. Only problem is … I’ve never been there 😅 can anyone recommend any bars that would have some dancing or a good party vibe in the off-season? My biggest fear is us sitting in a dead bar by ourselves lol. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for things to do, I’d really appreciate it! ❤️

Jobs with housing included?

Hey Cape May locals, I’m currently looking for job opportunities in the area that include housing. I know some small businesses may own apartments above their shops or have similar setups—if anyone knows of any openings or leads, I’d really appreciate it! Im currently living and working on the island but want to see what other opportunities were around WCM, NCM, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Bicycle riding in November in Cape May

I may visit for the first time the weekend of November 1st. Usually I go to AC/Ventnor and one of my favorite aspects is that I can ride my bike everywhere, especially on the boardwalk where I don’t need to worry about cars.

What is the bicycle situation in Cape May? Is bicycle riding permitted on the boardwalk off season? Is it safe to ride around town?

Day trip in October

My husband and I have been wanting to take the ferry over to Cape May, so we're planning on doing so in 2 weeks. Is October a good month to visit?

That being said, I'd like to go to the zoo. Is that a good choice? Will the animals be out? I'd like to stroll through Cape May too!!! What's a good food spot? We've never been to Wildwood, so we may journey there too!!!

Driving

I am a transplant from PA. I notice a lot of cars pass stopped cars who are making left turns. When they pass them, they usually go into the bike lane, but I notice there are always people walking and riding bikes. I stop and wait for the car to turn left because passing in the bike lane is illegal and dangerous to pedestrians and bikers. My questions is do cops care or is this just accepted as normal here?

Booze Cruise on Cape May Whale Watcher

Has anyone rented the Cape May Whale Watcher for a private event?

I'm planning a bachelorette party the first weekend of April and was looking for a booze cruise option. I've reached out to other options, but its too early in the season for them to know for sure if they can book. The Whale Watcher is the only one that said they are running a boat that early in the season.

Happy Autumn!

Hi guys, I’ll be visiting family who moved to the area last year near the end of October for more than a week. It’ll be my first time there and i’m worried that it’ll be much colder than what I’m used to. I live in a desert where it’s still 100+ in late September. What do you guys expect the temps will be in late October?

Oh, and I was told that I won’t need to rent a car. Do you think that I might go crazy without a personal form of transportation? Should I rent something like an electric scooter or something?

Restaurant recommendations

Hi everyone. My wife and I are coming to Cape May October 4th-6th for our 10 year anniversary (we're staying at the Montreal). Looking for a nice place to have our anniversary dinner. We're familiar with the area but mostly the bars and casual places. Looking for a recommendation on a nice place, preferable not BYOB because my wife likes cosmos and drinks like that. Thanks!

Hi all! I plan to take a day trip to Cape May this Saturday, the 28th. Is there anything you can recommend that I should check out? I remember there's an all you can eat crab legs/blue class restaurant that I want to check out. But I'm not sure where else I should go. TIA!

Monarch Butterfly Migration

I saw online that the window to see monarch butterflies in Cape May was between end of September-October. Is it still too early to see them?

I was in Cape May Point today looking on the monarch butterfly trail and the dune crossover areas but no luck. Maybe there are other factors that I haven’t considered. Has anyone seen them yet or have tips on best way to see them?

Washington Street Mall

I’m wondering if anyone has insight on the Washington Street Mall hours from Christmas Eve to New Year’s? All I’ve found online is that hours may vary.

Suggestions for where to watch the eagles game tonight?

I’m staying on Howard street and would love to catch the game tonight - I was thinking the Ugly Mug or Carney’s would have plenty of TVs but we just walked past Ugly Mug at 2:30 and the place looks packed. I’d prefer not to have to get somewhere an hour before kickoff to secure a table or barstools with a view of a TV. Anyone have any suggestions for bars/restaurants that may not be jam packed where I have a good chance of strolling in 15 minutes before kickoff and getting a seat? Thanks!

Are there any beaches in Cape May that are easy and very close walk from the parking lot?

We came with the intention of going to Ocean City but it is foggy and we ended up at the Cape May Zoo. It might just be easier to go to acute May beach instead of driving back to Ocean City. Are there any beaches that are super close to the parking that you don't have to struggle to get down to the water? We have twin infants and life is hard. Thanks in advance!
