Shore Dining Preview


Headed to the Jersey shore this weekend? Craig LaBan has a rundown of the quiet start to the season.

The usually bustling Atlantic City scene, in particular, is eerily quiet, with none of the splashy openings that have marked the casino town’s emergence in recent years as a restaurant destination. Instead, the late-August openings from last year will get some extra attention. For example, Stephen Starr’s two spots in the nongaming Chelsea hotel – the luxury steak house Chelsea Prime, and the updated Jewish diner Teplitzky’s – will get considerably wider exposure this year in their first full summer.

And of course there’s always Mack & Manco’s.
