A&LP Food Center
101 E. 15th Ave.
North Wildwood, NJ 08260

(609) 522-3576


A longtime fixture on New Jersey Ave. in North Wildwood, A&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.

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.

Hudson's Restaurant
5901 Atlantic Avenue
Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260




Originally called Schumann's Restaurant, Hudson's Restaurant was located next to the Satellite Motel and mirrored its 1960's space age sweeping roof line. Unfortunately, it was demolished after the 2004 season, and then shortly after so was the Satellite Motel. Two unique structures are now gone forever and were replaced with boring cookie cutter condos with no charm.

Schumann's Restaurant
5901 Atlantic Avenue
Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260



Schumannn's Restaurant was built right next to the Satellite Motel and resembled it with a crazy sweeping roof line. In its last few years it was renamed Hudson's Restaurant. It closed after the 2003 season and was then demolished. Its rooftop neon sign was saved and now can now be found at the Doo Wop Experience Museum.
