Blackboard specials at the Pirates Den, Brigantine, NJ

Dungeness crab at the Briagntine Crab ShacK

(Updated August, 2019) Every summer, I escape the heat and humidity of Philadelphia by decamping “down the shore” to Brigantine, New Jersey.

Interior Los Amigos Restaurant, Atlantic City, New Jersey

Once the summer muggies descend on our hometown, Philadelphia, we head “down the shore” to the house we bought in Brigantine, on the first barrier island north of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
