[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Duck is the closest but it does not compare to Stone Harbor or Avalon. There aren’t any good little pizza or sub shops in Duck like you get up north. [/b]Cravings is good but they get slammed every day so the wait is forever. There is one main road in Duck so the traffic is awful.[b] It’s not grid streets like the Jersey shore. There’s no boardwalk to drive to and the charm is just not there IMO. It’s a lot of preppy Southerners wearing monogrammed clothes and Lilly Pulitzer stuff. I grew up in the northeast and I miss going to the Jersey shore so much. Better towns and people.[/b][/quote]

I am LOLing so hard at how you are trying to sound pretentious and failing. Jersey shore is TRASH. And who goes to the beach to eat pizza? Get some fresh seafood you ignoramus. Go to the Blue Point, Paper Canoe, or Kimball's Kitchen. Oh that's right, you probably can't afford nice meals out which is why you're looking for pizza on vacation  :roll: [/quote]

Your level of anger is odd. The OP asked a question, and as someone who has been to all of these places a bunch of times I answered it. The Jersey shore is not a monolith. There are the trashy places such as those featured on the MTV show, and there are much nicer areas like Stone Harbor, Avalon, Sea Isle City, Ocean City. All of them are way more expensive than anything in the OBX. They also have actual lifeguards, which make them safer. It is possible to eat at a mix of fast casual and nicer seafood restaurants when spending a week at the beach. Pizza and subs are an easy lunch. A lot of the places you can grab those at are right off the beach so you can go grab a quick bite and come back. You might be shocked to find out that the people I know who own homes at the Jersey shore, who probably have a lot more money than you, eat pizza and subs there all the time. There's no such thing as a good, quick lunch right off the beach in the OBX. Getting takeout is a hassle. Some places will straight up tell you they're too busy and you're out of luck (e.g. Food Dudes in Nags Head). Blue Point in Duck has good food, but not good enough to justify their snotty attitude.

It's really not that serious! Staying home must be getting to you. Go for a run or something.[/quote]

Nope.  They are always like this - you new here?  It's what happens when one is constantly constipated and without sex - look around. Welcome to DC.[/quote]
