Restaurant in Ocean City
Ocean City's dry-town status (no liquor license, ever) has created an unusually strong BYOB restaurant culture. Every sit-down restaurant is BYOB with no corkage fee — stop at the liquor store in Somers Point before crossing the bridge. Manco & Manco pizza (sauce on top, locals correct you if you get it wrong) and Kohr Bros frozen custard are the boardwalk non-negotiables. For a proper dinner, The Chatterbox and Cousin's Italian-American BYOB are the landmarks.
