 I got a lot of feedback on taking a trip to Cape May, N.J.
 Some just to say "thanks for posting that", (you are welcome!). And a few from people that are also interested in Cape May.  Thanks to everyone.
 So here goes.  If this wasn't the correct way to summarize I'm sorry, this is my first time.
Linda in Pa.






A recommendation for on the way to Cape May:

On your way to Cape May, if you're taking a route that brings you 
 near Voorhees, NJ, stop for lunch or dinner at Pasta Pomodoro's. The 
 co-owner has celiac and the non-celiac has won awards for gf gourmet 
 meals. They have a fantastic gf menu and can make most other selections 
 gf. Pizza. Pasta. Garlic bread. It's on Haddonfield-Berlin Road, near 
 Springdale Road in Eagle Plazza. The website is 
 http://www.pastapomodoronj.com/
 ph: 856-782-7430.  Find it on MapQuest to see if it's enroute.  You might 
 even want to pick up something to take with you.

 If you're coming down Route 73, you'll pass a Whole Foods in Mt. Laurel, 
 that has gf baked goods, and then a Trader Joe's, in Marlton. (Both on the 
 wrong side of the highway.) If you're taking Route 70, you'll pass a 
 Wegman's just as you enter Cherry Hill, where the old Garden State 
 Racetrack used to be. Sorry...also on the wrong side of the highway. But 
 there are plenty of places to make u-turns.

SUGGESTION--I'd call the chamber of commerce and ask for brochures and the
Cape May Map. It's a great map for someones first trip.
The * on my list indicates the location of the establishment on the 2006-07
map.

PLACES TO STAY: (Peoples  experiences:)

 

1.      http://www.innseekers.ca/InnSeek.cfm?State=New%20Jersey

2. Marquis de Lafayette Hotel. Their restaurant was celiac-aware at that
time. The room came with a frig and I packed breakfast and lunch food. (05)
on 2006 Cape May Map.

3. The Sea Crest Motel on Beach Ave. at the end of the town. Lindalee like
it there last year

4. Two Mile Landing-- advised me they can accomodate gluten-free (Debmidge)

 

 

GLUTEN FREE- RESTURANTS/ (Peoples experiences:)

1. The Pilot House (M5)* We used to drive down in the winter just for lunch.
The main dining room has a fire place. I've had about 6 meals there and all
great and never got sick. ALWAYS take my gluten-free card and even if the
waitress doesn know about gluten-free the chef always seems to. They make
the ranch dressing on site and is gluten-free and was wonderful.

2. Harbor View Restaurant-(G3) is the area on map. Shows building there but
didn't see an add.
609-884-5444
www.harborviewcapemay.com
There is also a Harbor Side Deck Bar for sitting out side. Be sure to ck if
it's open. B & L on Sat & Sun 

can look out onto the water and watch boats go by. Delicious salad- Ken's
ranch dressing. I had a beef filet but think the rub is what made me sick.
They need some education but seemed willing. Chef was told nothing on steak
but!!! We got there at 5:00 when they opened and were the only ones there.
In 1/2 hr was full. Id advise you to go early to spell out instructions. 

3. The Ugly Mug (on the Washington Street Mall) eaten there many many times.
Have Wise chips with sandwich and dill pickle was wonderful. Had the
hamburger/w /l/t/o/ didn't eat chips and coke.

Also we ate at the Ugly Mug in the downtown Cape May shopping area, they do
not have a gluten free menu but I ordered a cheese dog without the bun. They
were amazing, even cooked my order separate from the others. They don't have
a website but I do highly give them a good rep. 

4. Belle Vida )E6) 
609-884-6332 

There is a small little cafe in Cape May called Belle Vida. It serves
gluten-free rice pasta!!!!! 
I actually had chicken parm for the first time in 2 1/2 years. It was
amazing. The prices are decent. Service was good, There is a website for
this cafe so in you google Belle Vida it will come up and they have a menu
posted.
