Sea Isle City Restaurants Receive Boost from City Council

This was first published on the Sea Isle City real estate blog:

In what should be a great move the city council of Sea Isle City voted to approve liquor and beer consumption for sidewalk dining. Sea Isle City BYOB's and establishments with liquor licenses will now be able to permit patrons to consume alcoholic beverages at outdoor tables.

Until Tuesday night Sea Isle City establishments were permitted to allow outdoor dining but not outdoor consumption of alcoholic beverages. The city council's ruling should definitely boost outdoor sales for Sea Isle's restaurants.

Kim Gibson from Braca Cafe has an interesting quote in the Atlantic City Press. She explains how it was not worthwhile to have tables outside without the ability to serve liquor, as most of the patrons would like to enjoy an adult beverage with their meal. Now it seems that barrier has been eliminated.

All in all it looks like it will be a boost for the business owners and vacationers of Sea Isle. Its just another great reason to buy a home or condo in Sea Isle City, New Jersey.

The Stone Harbor Bird Sanctaury has long been a source of pride for those who live and vacation in Stone Harbor. The bird sanctuary is home to abundant wildlife. The town of Stone Harbor is always working to maintain the sanctuary. They will be working to install a tidal water pipeline to increase the amount of marsh land.

Marshland is a key component of the bird sanctuary. The marsh provides much needed ground for herons, egrets and the numberous other birds who make the sanctuary their home. For more information on visit the Stone Harbor Real Estate blog.
