Our friends at CapeMay.com, whose offices are on the 500 block of Washington Street, conduct voting annually to find the best in shopping, dining, nightlife, leisure activities, and accommodations in Cape May. Known as the "Best of Cape May", the voting is open to the public, and Cape May lovers, both locals and visitors, participate each year. This year, as usual, the Washington Street Mall won big, with our businesses taking best in 20 categories as well as runner up in 16 categories! An event that occurs on the Mall also made the cut!
