There's a part of Atlantic City you've probably never been to. Actually, there are probably several parts of AC you haven't checked out.

This part of town is most likely a place you've never visited. It's safe and clean and you might think you were in a tony upscale Jersey Shore town. It's Lower Chelsea.

There you'll find some majestic mansions, and well-kept big old Jersey Shore houses along tree-lined streets.

That's where you'll find Brittany's Cafe. The place is tiny and only serves breakfast and lunch.

The food is always fresh, the service is prompt and friendly and the place has a charm you rarely find these days.

It's just off the corner of Delancy Place on Ventnor Ave. If you were heading to Ventnor or Margate, you'd probably take Atlantic Avenue and never see it.

Thank God, since COVID, they've been allowed to have outdoor seating along the sidewalk.

Like I said the place is really tight inside and if you have any more than 4 people you might be out of luck.

There are no real diners in AC, but this is the closest thing you'll get to one, but on a miniature scale.
