The Mad Batter
There’s normal Shore breakfast, and then there’s The Mad Batter. At the former, you show up to a cute diner, order something classic, and then take your handwritten check up to a counter and pay $15 per person for your meal. At the Mad Batter, you show up with a big group of friends, order either a manmosa or a pint glass filled with something called “shipwreck punch” (both of which have a two-per-person limit), fill the space leftover from the drinks in your stomach with a lox bagel, and then roll yourself to the beach and pass out for a few hours. It’s not something you can do every morning, but when it happens, you’re happy it did.
