Answer
Many kitchens close midweek; call for soft-shell or local specials actually on menu. Evenings cool faster on the Boardwalk than inland visitors expect—pack layers. Lodging deals improve when schools reopen, but some budget eats vendors close entirely until Memorial Day. Winter months may be phone-only for bookings; call before you drive from West Ocean City.
