We have been going to Springer’s for five generations

STONE HARBOR, NJ — I have mentioned Springer’s before, but I’ll do it again. The place has great ice cream and is a Seven Mile Beach institution. By my calculations, my son and his cousin, became the fifth generation of my family to enjoy ice cream there. Will had chocolate and banana on separate visits. [...]

More details on the end of Henny’s

I searched for Henny’s news, but only found out about this when my dad mentioned that he saw something in the Cape May News Herald:
The vacant lot on the corner of 96th Street and Third Avenue will soon host the highly anticipated resort, as will the current Henny’s Restaurant property on the corner of 97th [...]

I don’t care whether its called pork roll or Taylor ham

STONE HARBOR, N.J. — I am a late adopter when it comes to pork roll, but better late than never, right? This processed meat could probably qualify as N.J.’s state foodstuff, provided you are not including Jersey fresh produce like tomatoes, corn (soooo good), peaches or blueberries (Hammonton boasts being the blueberry capital of [...]

Overheard: Henny’s to be sold, demolished

STONE HARBOR, N.J. — I was surprised to hear the rumor that Henny’s, now in its 77th summer, may not see a 78th. Apparently, the land is for sale and a potential buyer has been found. The new buyer would knock the venerable Stone Harbor institution down and replace it with a hotel.

So close, but really much farther

STONE HARBOR, N.J.– The “socially sanctioned form of adult play” that is reading The Times is something I don’t have time for in my daily life, so getting to do so is one of the highlights of vacation . I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I thought I was in luck [...]

Bunting (the good kind)

STONE HARBOR, N.J.– All over South Jersey private homes, post offices, stores and other buildings are covered in bunting. On the drive down to Stone Harbor, I saw it in the little towns we passed along the way.
Once in Stone Harbor it seemed as though you couldn’t go more than a couple of blocks without [...]

Back from the Shore

Our week at the Shore came to an end on Satruday. We had a great time and missed it as soon as we left. Some highlights:

bodysurfing — I think Stone Harbor and Avalon might have the best bodysurfing conditions anywhere. Suitable waves could be found regardless of the tides. I caught rides on all but [...]
