 A longtime fixture on New Jersey Ave. in North Wildwood, A&amp;LP has happily served generations of visitors to the island for over half a century. The oversized rooftop neon signs on the north and south ends of the building are hard to miss when coming from either direction, particularly at night. This institution remains family owned and operated, and is open all year round.

 Amid a cluster of older, smaller buildings in North Wildwood's upper motel district, the Acropolis and nearby Regency Towers dominate the beachfront skyline. The sentinel nature of the 1970s-era Acropolis calls to mind the ancient structure for which it was named, which for thousands of years has loomed high above the city of Athens, Greece.

Captain's Table Restaurant
Captain's Table Restaurant
Hollywood Ave. & The Beach
Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260




While the Crest has always been best known for its incomparable collection of architecturally-diverse mid-century motels, the Captain's Table stood out as a 'Doo Wop' classic in its own right. Yet another of Lou Morey's unique inventions, it consistenly earned rave reviews (including several Zagat ratings) as one of the top seafood restaurants at the Jersey Shore. Unfortunately, it fell along with scores of the island's motels during the condo boom of the early 2000s.

Historic Register: Motels of the Wildwoods MPDF S.R. 1/16/2004.  It' was a contributing structure even though not a Motel.
