Elaine’s Dinner Theatre

What’s better than dinner and a show… at the same time?

Cape May is beloved by a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons: a great dining and bar scene, amazing architecture, lovely, unique lodging, a lively entertainment scene, and the occasional ghost or two. Somehow, Elaine’s manages to encapsulate all of these elements under one beautiful, centrally-located roof. You probably know it as Elaine’s Famous Dinner Theater – and that’s not just you, as it was rated one of the Top 5 dinner theaters in the nation by the Food Network – thanks to their spooktacular Haunted Restaurant and hilarious theater productions. Or maybe you’re familiar with their popular Ghost Tours, departing nightly on a stroll through town highlighting some of Cape May’s more supernatural spots. But now Elaine’s has expanded their offerings, and have opened their porch and the oh-so-cozy pub to the public. You can now enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or some cool cocktails on their gracious, Southern-style porch all season long – with live steel drums, or acoustic music on most days. Their happy hours are rapidly becoming must-do events, with local musicians playing on the lawn. And of course, their hilarious dinner theater offerings are always an excellent, one-stop way to spend an evening. Oh, and theme weekends packages in their boutique hotel accommodations are always a hit, like the Murder Mystery and Ghost Investigations weekends. If you like those, you’ll lover the grape-stomping weekend they’ll be adding this fall. Follow them on Facebook and keep your eyes open for that one – like everything else at Elaine’s, it’s sure to be a hit.
