Radio talk show host and
co-owner of Tennessee
Avenue Beer Hall
Secret Salsa
“Los
Compadres Restaurant & Bar
doesn’t look like much from
the outside, but the place is
packed, there’s live Mexican
music on weekends, and the
food is stellar.”
Casino Picks
“Borgata Hotel
Casino & Spa remains the
class of Atlantic City — ...
entertainment, spas, guest
experiences, and [quality
restaurants]. But the Golden
Nugget proves that great
things can come in small
packages.”
Rock Around the Clock
“In AC, there is no shortage
of venues, and The Lobby
Bar at the Hard Rock Hotel
[& Casino] is always jamming
with music of every genre,
from early afternoon to early
morning. It’s always craziness
in there.”
Best Selfie
“Head for the
end of Steel Pier
1
, which
extends farther out into the
ocean than anywhere in the
city. Snap a shot with The
Wheel behind you.”
Works of Art
“The Noyes
Arts Garage has a ton of
great local artists worth
checking out.”
LAURIE GREENE
Airbnb host and owner of
Yoga Nine Studio
Seize the Day
“The Atlantic
City Boardwalk, anywhere
from the inlet all the way
down through Ventnor [City],
is the place for viewing the
sunrise.”
Pipe Dreams
“Take the tour
at Boardwalk Hall, home to
the Miss America pageant
and the largest pipe organ in
the world.”
Snack Time
“AC has the
best happy hours! I love the
one at the Knife & Fork [Inn].
Come early — 5 p.m. — to sit
at the bar and get appetizers
[at] half-price.”
Pomp and Pageantry
“Don’t miss Miss’d America,
a national drag extravaganza
based on the iconic Miss
America pageant, held in
September each year.”
Jumbo Attraction
“Lucy
the Elephant
2
is a Margate
City favorite. Tour the giant
elephant-shaped building,
which is a National Historic
Landmark.”
JOE DI GIROLAMO SR.
Real estate agent with Farley
& Ferry Realty
Flip for Pancakes
“Gilchrist
Restaurant has the best
blueberry pancakes you
will ever eat. The location in
[Historic] Gardner’s Basin
has an outside deck where
you can enjoy breakfast
overlooking the bay.”
Ocean Vibes
“Take a boat
ride on
Cruisn 1
, docked at
Gardner’s Basin. You can
go dolphin-watching or take
a bay cruise at sunset. Tell
captain Jeff George, ‘Jersey
Joe at the Shore’ sent you.”
Cheap Keepsake
“You can
collect a $1 chip from each
casino you visit and put them
all in a frame with a picture to
remember your trip.”
Aw, Shucks
“Dock’s Oyster
House has been owned and
operated by the Dougherty
family for generations. You’ll
find an assortment of oysters,
shellfish, lobster, plus locally
caught fish on the menu.”
Sweet and Salty
“[Bring
home a box of] saltwater taffy
either from Fralinger’s
3
or
James’ [Candy Company],
both located on the
Boardwalk.”
LORYN LYN SIMONSEN
Co-founder and owner of
Hayday Coffee
Way to Roll
“Best way
to get around? Bikes,
jitneys, and — for a special
Atlantic City experience — a
Boardwalk rolling chair!”
Enlightened
“Climb the
228 steps to the top of the
Absecon Lighthouse
4
—
fondly called ‘Abby’ by the
locals — and meet Buddy,
the lightkeeper.”
Romantic Duo
“Share a
wine-and-chocolate flight at
Made Atlantic City Chocolate
Bar, AC’s only bean-to-bar
chocolate maker.”
In the Loop
“Spend some
time in The Orange Loop —
three beach blocks where
you’ll find yoga, coffee, bars,
restaurants, live music, and
more.”
Wall-to-Wall
“Take a mural
tour! Atlantic City is home
to over 50 original murals
throughout the 48 blocks of
the city.”
