What's New in Ocean City?
45th Street TaphouseJust this year, the 45th Street Taphouse became the first new establishment to open in Ocean City's 45th Street Village. The restaurant features a smoker in its kitchen arsenal, which will be used to smoke prime rib and other delights. Beer is a main focus at the Taphouse, where patrons can choose from 36 different beers on tap and also find a selection of menu items that have been infused with beer. The restaurant is located directly on the bay with both an indoor and outdoor bar.
Bungalow Seven
For years, northern Worcester County has been known for its skating and surfing culture, so it's only natural that a clothing store specializing in unique skate and surf apparel would call the area home. Along with providing brands that weren't available in Ocean City before, Bungalow Seven will serve as a social hub, giving people the opportunity to hang out, meet new people and learn from one another. It will even feature a room dedicated to skateboard building, allowing customers to build their own boards with a professional and learn how to do it on their own.443-664-2458. www.bungalow7.com
