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.

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.
