Matthew’s Liked Places

Matthew Spector: The best cider donuts in New Jersey - and they hit a home run with cider dogs, cooked in cider and topped with an apple sauerkraut. All other farms pale in comparison.

Matthew Spector: Pac-Man dumplings are the standard, but the chicken salad with blueberries and corn is a star dish too.

Matthew Spector: A great happy hour with many of the same dinner menu deals. Don't miss the solid honey harissa wings and classic avocado toast.

Matthew Spector: Solid bagel selection, friendly staff.

Matthew Spector: Phenomenal Peruvian Italian spot with a wide array of ceviche that takes advantage of the great fish on and from Cape Cod. Don't miss the traditional ceviche, and the littlenecks florentine.

Matthew Spector: One of the best chocolate chip cookies in New York, matched with a super fun staff and solid coffee.

Matthew Spector: Go for the stuffed quahogs, and stay for the regulars and an extraordinary cast of characters.

Matthew Spector: One of the best lobster rolls on Cape Cod, and one of the only spots truly on the water. Excellent seafood selection and house cocktail list.

Matthew Spector: Excellent curry fries and a solid beer selection. A bit crowded at times but a nice Irish pub atmosphere nonetheless.

Matthew Spector: Beautiful and free lookout, with quiet, dog-friendly beaches and unmatched views.

Matthew Spector: New spot is the prime Mexican-Cape cuisine mashup. Lobster tacos - of course- battered cod and a killer salsa bar.

Matthew Spector: Brilliant blueberry pie. Famous popovers are not to be missed.

Matthew Spector: Quasi-secret hidden swimming spot. A gem.

Matthew Spector: A solid and super popular joint for brunch and solid Southern fried things. Inside track - they open way early; those who like breakfast should head this way to avoid crowds.

Matthew Spector: Go get the gnocchi. Thank me later.

Matthew Spector: Might be hands down the most phenomenal bakery on Cape Cod. Happy Fish posts up in a classic historic building and brings brilliant takes on sticky buns, brioche and a Cape levain. Get here.

Matthew Spector: Impressive set of rotating beers on tap, as well as a solid nacho platter.

Matthew Spector: Solid Jewish deli fare. Big fan of the deli salad, with generous portions of cold cuts and Russian dressing.

Matthew Spector: An original. Great breakfast sandwiches and a sort-lf-secret off the road stop for weary travelers. Get the milkshake and stay for the fresh eggs and throwback vibe.

Matthew Spector: Skip the salty ramen, try the awesome rice bowls.

Matthew Spector: Smart spot to hide and get work done. Serviceable coffee.

Matthew Spector: Nobska light and firehouse sandwiches are beyond special. Go for the pickles, but the sandwiches make it.

Matthew Spector: Just a short drive from the highway, Colonial is Jersey Americana at its finest, great diner menu with delicious omelettes and other egg breakfasts.

Matthew Spector: Classic bar and boozy brunch spot on the Upper East. Hit the surprisingly serene garden hideaway in the back. For brunch? Salmon hash.
