Talking On my way to OC in the Z.

Keep an eye out for a flash of purple and a lot of noise.

Is anyone there? How is it? Crowded? Never been there before.

I might be going day of the fourth. Pretty popular beach, more than positive it will be packed. They have a long boardwalk along the hotels with stores and food. Small carnival at one end with rides and games. I remember seeing a bit or imports down there! Dough Rollers has awesome food, look it up! My favorite beach is Myrtle Beach in SC. Typing this mobile, excuse the clutter.

Food: Captains on 137th street (bay side), good subs & pizza. Fat Daddys (bay side) on 76th IIRC and the inlet also amazing subs. Ponzetti's on 144th, go in get like 5 Orange Crush drinks, thank me later. Also good pizza. Big Peckers (bay side right past Rt90 bridge) on 67th street, good food all around, some nights they do hilarious drunk karaoke. Good car wash next door if you wanna clean your car up.

Im not big into clubs but Seacrets is always fun, cant miss that place.

Boardwalk is meh, but if you havent been go check it out.

I almost went down this weekend, would have been cool, I'll be down next weekend.

This is one of OC's most crowded weekends so have fun sitting on Coastal Highway at every light for a few rotations.

Have fun!!! If you buy liquor/beer for your hotel, drive into Delaware (past 145th street is DE) no tax....

Ocean City isn't bad. After spending time in FL I sorta lost the whole desire to ever go to OC for anything but 1 restaurant I have to hit. Once I have kids, I think ocean city will once again be a special place to go.

With that being said, one of my favorite restaurants is in ocean city and if you have the wife I highly recommend going to it.

http://***ers.com/

Most of the other places are mostly misses, most are aimed at getting the travelers.
Most places are all you can eat, and or about location, however food sucks most of the time.

***ers is a legit restaurant, that even in off season can be hard to get into without a reservation. Just keep in mind, it has two different restaurants/menus in one. Make sure you dress nice and head up stairs where they offer a full blown high end menu. They have one of the best prime ribs out there, its massive, they have great fish dishes and crabcakes. I don't think I've ever had anything that wasn't good from ***ers. I also love how after 10 years of going, most of the staff is still the same people. Again I must point out, you HAVE TO go up stairs, the downstairs part of the restaurant is pretty much bar food. Up stairs is where the legit side of the restaurant is. Almost all the bad reviews I've seen are always about the lower restaurant.

The also have a bar downstairs that offers live bands and such, if you eat up stairs, you can normally go straight to the bar downstairs and skip the cover charge.

For night life, secrets is pretty much where it's at.

Edit...

lol nice, my350z hates ***s.

f-a-g-e-r-s.com
Boardwalk offers lots of bars with bands, but most of them are nothing special, nothing you wouldn't find outside of any major down town city area.

P.S

http://www.ocmdhotels.com/reflections

is also a worth while place, however f-a-gers easily is the better choice.

***ers has a good bar.

Green turtle is for some reason well known, they're around 127th?

For the most part, just walk the boardwalk and check out what you see.

Oh, don't show your A$$ there are cops in cars, on bikes, scooters, mopeds, and on foot.

I've never had a problem with police in OC. Then again I don't go racing stop light to stop light.

Harpoon Hannahs is a more mature bar crowd, right on the water barely into DE. It's a good place to go just with your woman.

Also fish tails is a nice outdoor bar,
