Cape May’s New Dock Bar Offers Fun, Flavor, and Stunning Views

Cape May’s new Mad Viking Dock Bar & Grill is set to open in May 2025, bringing a “sea to table” dining experience to the waterfront at Snub Harbor Marina. Operated by local fishermen and farmers, the menu will feature fresh-off-the-boat seafood, farm-fresh ingredients, and unique dishes like the Lobster Corn Dog. Located on Ocean Drive, the venue will offer a casual, fun atmosphere with stunning harbor views and ample dock space for boaters. With its vibrant vibe and hyperlocal focus, Mad Viking promises to be a must-visit spot this summer.

Atlantic City Airport Bomb Threat Suspect Surrenders After Police Standoff

Long Pham, 38, of Egg Harbor Township, is in custody after being charged with making a false bomb threat at Atlantic City International Airport. The charges stem from a January 10 bomb threat at Atlantic City Airport, which led to a sweep of the terminal. Authorities found no explosives during their search. Pham was identified as a suspect following an investigation, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Following a standoff at his home, which prompted a shelter-in-place for nearby schools, Pham surrendered peacefully to police. He remains held in Atlantic County Jail as the investigation continues.
