National Spotlight Shines on Cape May's Iconic Lobster House

 The Lobster House has been named one of the best waterfront restaurants in the country by USA Today. Located on Schellengers Landing Road, The Lobster House is known for its scenic views of Cape May Harbor, its fresh seafood offerings, and its lively dockside bar. The year-round destination features five dining rooms, a full bar, and a laid-back yet festive atmosphere that appeals to both locals and tourists. USA Today praised the restaurant for its signature dishes, including whole lobsters and seafood pasta, calling it a “legendary Jersey Shore restaurant” that delivers on both taste and ambiance. The combination of harbor views, live music, and high-quality seafood has made it a staple of the Cape May dining scene. In addition to its restaurant, The Lobster House also operates an on-site fish market, offering fresh catches and prepared specialties daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Guests are reminded that while the restaurant welcomes walk-ins for lunch and dinner, it does not accept reservations. For those exploring Cape May, The Lobster House stands out not just as a local favorite, but now as one of the top waterfront dining experiences in the country.

Woman Shot in Face During Road Rage Incident; Suspect’s Arsenal Discovered

 Ernest Heinz, 46, faces additional charges after allegedly shooting a woman in a road rage incident near Stockton University on September 11th. Maritza Arias-Galva was struck in the face by a bullet during the altercation. A search of Heinz's home led to additional weapons charges. Arias-Galva is recovering, and a fundraiser has been started to help with medical expenses. Since the initial charges were filed, investigators have uncovered a stockpile of firearms in Heinz's home. As a result, he now faces 31 total charges, many related to the illegal possession of rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Arias-Galva is currently undergoing treatment for her injuries, including efforts to restore sight in her right eye. A GoFundMe page has been launched to help cover her medical expenses.
