East Lynne Theater Company
A new radio-style play for Sherlock Holmes' Weekend performs in Cape May on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2 and 3, before traveling up to Mahwah for a Sunday performance. This time, it's "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" with live sound effects, just like the original 1930 NBC radio productions.
On Sunday, Nov. 4, ELTC is also sponsoring a day trip to Peddler's Village, in Pennsylvania. On Thursday, Nov. 8 is East Lynne's annual fundraiser, "101 Nights: A Magical Gala," featuring magician extraordinaire Robert Aberdeen, Middle Eastern Dancer Victoria Papale, and performers Mark Edward Lang and Alison J. Murphy. Once more, this special evening of food and fun, with an auction, will take place at Aleathea's Restaurant. "Louisa May Alcott's Christmas" rounds out the 2007 Season with shows between Nov. 23-Dec. 8
The Dinner-and-an-ELTC-Show-Combo still continues at the following restaurants: Aleathea's, Bloody Mary's Bar and Grill, 410 Bank Street, Frescos, The Mad Batter, Martini Beach, and The Washington Inn.
For information and reservations, (click here). East Lynne’s season would not be possible without the support of Curran Investment Management, La Mer Beachfront Inn, Aleathea’s Restaurant, the NJ State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and the generosity of many patrons.

| Dining In Cape May... |
Anyone who has ever visited Historic Cape May, New Jersey has at least one favorite place they like to visit because the food is so good that they go back again and again. However, there are so many wonderful places to dine in Cape May – from breakfast through dinner and late evening snacks – that it isn’t possible to declare, “Ah ha! That’s THE ONE! It’s the best of all!”
There’s a reason why it’s so difficult to single out just one restaurant or café as the best: the sheer number of them that are open to serve you. The restaurant critic in the New Jersey section of the New York Times calls Cape May “The Culinary Capital of New Jersey!” A little research (and some fantastic meals) reveals that many of the chefs at Cape May restaurants are graduates of the finest restaurant schools in the country, and they take what they do very seriously. After all, they want their dining patrons to return again and again.
In this section of the in-room guide you’ll discover a host of places to dine, contact and reservation information (Reservations are strongly suggested during the early spring, summer and fall seasons – depending on the type of restaurant or café and their policies), a description of their menu ( American, Italian, French, etc.) locations and related information. Whether it’s a simple and basic breakfast, a super lunch, a sit-down multi-course feast, a brunch, or simple bar food, you’ll find what you want in Cape May.
There is a place for every taste, from the romantic Victorian dinner-for-two in the perfect setting of period furniture and lovely surroundings to “grab-and-go” take out fare to get you back to the beach as quickly as possible. You’ll find family-style dining, pub fare, ethnic food and more – all within walking distance in the historic district, and just a short drive elsewhere within the Cape May community.
Many of the restaurants and cafes remind you that they’re BYOB establishments because liquor licenses are based on fixed year-round populations, so be sure to ask about their policy when you call. If you enjoy adult beverages with your meals, they’ll be glad to chill and/or cork your wine for you.
One final note: If you want to discover a wealth of information on places to eat, go to our website: www.GreatVacationGuide.com. Click on “search” at the TOP of the home page and then click on “restaurants” and “Cape May area” and start scrolling. You’ll discover why that food critic thinks so highly of Historic Victorian Cape May. It just doesn’t get any better than this!

For those who love to enjoy a unique experience in getting away from the world and taking a real break from the pressures of daily living, there are few things as relaxing and tranquil as staying at a Bed and Breakfast Inn in historic Victorian Cape May, New Jersey. After all, the history of Cape May is the history of these once private homes that grace the quiet tree-lined streets of this lovely town along its sidewalks, whose porches beckon to weary travelers to come and sit for awhile and enjoy quiet conversation.
The Bed and Breakfast experience in wonderful Cape May has been refined and developed to the point of where each inn has its special attributes, and the guest rooms are designed to take you back to a time when graciousness towards guests was expected, the accommodations were lovely, the attention to detail was a given, and folks were civil and friendly to each other.
There are more than three score bed and breakfast inns in Cape May, and the colors, designs, styles, architecture, and delightful period furnishings and antiques set the mood for visitors. The sheer range of shapes, porches, number of guest rooms, colors, and locations offer you perfect accommodations from one end of town to the other.
You’ll discover lovely bed and breakfast inns on the ocean, on quiet interior streets, near the downtown shopping areas, next to local attractions, and nearly everywhere you look.
Some serve afternoon tea, others offer special menus, some have their own restaurants, at least one has its own dinner theater, and all of them are delightful places to stay where people return year-after-year and become “regulars” who are welcomed like members of the family.
The bed and breakfast inns of Cape May are staffed by folks who understand that their guests expect comfort, convenience, and the little extras of staying in “…somebody’s home.” It is this aspect of the bed and breakfast community that adds local flavor to staying in Cape May. In most cases a B&B is, after all, truly someone’s home, and the loving care devoted to restoring and maintaining the home is evident at so many of these beautiful inns.
Cape May, New Jersey is known far and wide as one of the loveliest shore resort towns in the world, and the bed and breakfast inns are a very large part of the experience that is Cape May. Welcome! Come and sit for awhile and we’ll speak with quiet voices of a time when the world was less complicated, and courtesy was extended to guests at all times.
