Delicious. Classy. Great for dates and business meetings. Highly recommend the Chef Selection, the flat noodles and the spring rolls.

Essentials

Trader Joes is my favorite grocery store, but it's not a big-chain store. If you're looking for a certain brand of tomato sauce, you'll want to go elsewhere. If you're looking for some of the best produce and frozen/pre-made meals, you're in luck. Find the hidden Anteater stuffed animal, and get a prize.

Great family beach. Kid playground off the boardwalk. Good places to eat for families or food lovers alike (try Broadway if you've got a bigger budget and a refined pallet--it's fantastic).
