I'm obsessed with this place and go regularly. It has an upstairs area with classic pinball machines and video games and it really fun. Its is a husband/wife that own the place and very neighborhoody. The food is New Jersey beach fare. Mini Corn dogs and fried pickles are guilty pleasures.

This is the back entrance to the National Zoo. Knowing where it is makes a trip to the zoo entirely walk-able (a little bit of a long walk if you aren't use to walking a lot) and a great running loop if you are looking for a 3-4 mile loop. BONUS: The Zoo is FREE
