Dot's Pastry Shop on 31st and Asbury. We love this family-owned business that does all of their baking in house. Some of our personal favorites are the glazed pretzel doughnuts, Boston creme, sprinkles, and cinnamon buns.

Randazzo's Pizza located on 34th and Asbury is our favorite Italian meal on the island. When we were renting, prior to purchasing, this would be our traditional first meal of our vacation. Again, a family-owned business making authentic Italian meals. While I always enjoy the muscles in red sauce, my husband and children share one of their pasta dishes and pizza. And a meal there is never complete without the garlic knots!

New to the island is Churn House Ice cream and cereal bar located on 32nd and Asbury which has become a quick favorite. This ice cream shop offers a unique serving of soft serve ice cream and milk shakes infused with cereal and toppings of your choice.
