Rock Legend Bruce Springsteen Orders Five Dozen Hot Dogs from Long Branch Eatery

 Bruce Springsteen visited Max’s Bar and Grill in Long Branch, NJ, on Saturday, where he ordered five dozen hot dogs to go. The bar manager, Mary Kate Schiller a fan of Springsteen, managed to snap a photo with the rock legend after packing up his order, which included buns, sauerkraut, and spicy red relish. Springsteen’s visit was a low-key affair, with the legendary musician blending in like any other customer. Schiller recounted the moment when the singer approached the counter. The young hostess, who didn’t recognize him, asked Schiller to assist with his order. “When I realized who it was, I tried my best to treat him like any other guest,” Schiller said. Despite the effort, she admits to feeling flustered when Springsteen placed an order for five dozen hot dogs—uncooked. Schiller remarked, “He looks the same in person as he does from the last row in MetLife Stadium.”

Autumn in Cape May: Historic Tours, Scenic Beaches, and Culinary Delights Await

 Cape May, New Jersey, is a year-round destination known for its Victorian architecture, beautiful beaches, and vibrant dining scene. While summer is the high season, fall offers a quieter, picturesque experience with fewer crowds. Visitors can enjoy historic tours, outdoor activities like birdwatching and rail-biking, and various fall festivals. Dining options range from upscale restaurants to casual beachside cafes, and accommodations include historical hotels. While Cape May consistently ranks among the top beaches in New Jersey and the Northeast, the fall offers a more peaceful retreat with fewer visitors and the town’s natural beauty on full display. For a more in-depth experience, join one of the many tours available. The Cape May Trolley offers a comprehensive overview of the town, while smaller tours, like the Backstreets and Byways City Tour, provide insights into Cape May’s maritime history and lesser-known spots. The Emlen Physick Estate, a nearly 20-room Victorian mansion, offers private tours that transport visitors back in time, especially during Halloween with its special “spirited” events many of them listed often in this newsletter.
