Dinner With a Psychic at the Mad Batter Halloween has not yet officially arrived in Cape May, thanks to Sandy, so here is the perfect spooky activity for tonight. A few seats remain for the Mad Batter’s Dinner with a Psychic, a unique opportunity to possibly commune with those on the other side, while being […]

Our wandering photographer snapped some photos to let you know that some of your favorite places in Cape May are still here… […]
