On the Radar… OC Mag’s OCNJ scoop for Early March

Looking for some scoop on Ocean City happenings? We love thinking about the warm weather and everything it has to offer – beach days, new store openings, and businesses reopening for the 2021 season. Here’s our list of recently announced openings. 

Around Ocean City

Upper Township School District will open for five days/week in-person schooling starting on March 15.

Tacos, get your tacos here… There’s a new taco shop called Las Olas Taqueria popping up in the Shoprite Shopping Center, Marmora. They’re aiming to open April 1.

Topsail Steamer is expanding into Sea Isle City. Their new location doesn’t have an opening date but we think you’ll be able to enjoy plenty of seafood shortly. 

Red’s Jersey Mex Cafe will be reopening for the season March 3.

Dot’s Pastry Shop will reopen March 27 and 28.
