George's Place
The best for lunch! Their greek salad and gyros are awesome, but you really can't go wrong. George's was even featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (a Chris Barone favorite haha!) George's is BYOB and cash only.
Congress Hall
Recently voted the best hotel in New Jersey by Travel & Leisure, Congress Hall is beautiful and conveniently located on the beach. It is also the location of our ceremony and reception! Congress Hall has blocked rooms for us at a guest room rate is $499 a night with a two night minimum stay requirement. It is beautiful with a rich history, but pricy. There are plenty of other less expensive options in walking distance depending on your needs. If you would like to stay a Congress Hall, let the agent know you would like to book within the Knotts Barone wedding block!
Panico's Bistro
BYOB Italian restaurant with great food. Make sure you bring some extra drinks and a snack if you are hungry; Panico's doesn't take reservations (but you can call ahead) and gets busy especially during the summer. They have a patio area and you can grab glasses to enjoy your drinks while you wait!
The Star
This is a cute, smaller hotel right across the street from Congress Hall and right by Washington Street Mall. You are able to enjoy the activities and amenities of the other Cape Resorts Properties including Congress Hall during your stay. There is a room block at this hotel with a rate of $279 a night for a guest room with a two night minimum. They also have suites available. Let the agent know you would like to book within the Knotts Barone wedding block if you decide to stay here!
The Blue Pig Tavern
Located in Congress Hall, this is one of our favorite places for brunch or dinner. They have a nice patio area and the inside is super cute too!
Beach Shack
Cute beach shack hotel with a pool located right by Rusty Nail with fire pits, outside and inside bar, and live music. This hotel is 2 blocks from Congress Hall. We have a room block rate of $379 a night with a two night minimum. Let the agent know you would like to book within the Knotts Barone wedding block if you decide to stay here!
Sea Crest Inn
Hotel with a nice pool located right on Beach Avenue a few blocks from Congress Hall. Rooms range from simple motel rooms to multi-room suites. All of their room layouts and rates are listed on their website.
Hot Dog Tommy's
If you want a hot dog at the beach, this is your place. You'll be laughing as you try to order which dog: "Leaner Weiner" or "Bigger, Badder, Dog" from a guy with a hot dog hat on his head (not joking.) You can get all sorts of toppings or order a signature hot dog at this stand. It's worth the trip!
Uncle Bill's
Chris refuses to leave Cape May without eating Uncle Bill's pancakes. Cash only. Open 6am - 2pm.
Beach House Rentals
Air BNB, HomeAway, and many local rental agencies are widely used in Cape May especially during the summer months. This is a great option if you plan on staying longer than the weekend or are staying with a group! We encourage you to book early because Cape May is a very popular summer beach destination. Please let us know if you need help with this option or want suggestions!
Rusty Nail
The best spot for drinks and a snack after a day at the beach! The steamers, crab legs, and boardwalk fries are personal favorites. This spot has live music and a nice outdoor bar and beach area.
The Cape Winds
Low-key, no-frills motel. About 10 minute walk to the beach and Congress Hall respectively. Typically $150-$200 a night.
Peace Pie
Homemade ice cream sandwiches large enough to be a full meal.
The Mad Batter Restaurant & Bar
This spot is famous for their brunch manmosas which are exactly what you think they are (beer+mimosa+beer.)
Boiler Room
Boiler Room is in the basement of Congress Hall. Amazing pizza, great drinks, and live music!
Key West Tacos
Delicious little taco shack with outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine! You can eat in or take out for a quick, easy lunch!
