Word around our favorite cafe at 4th and Atlantic in Ocean City _ which announced its imminent demise months ago, but obstinately refused to stop serving coffee, scones and an increasingly full lunch menu _ is that a new location has been found. The owners, who bought a vineyard in California but apparently still have a jones for importing La Colombe coffee to Jersey, have reportedly signed a lease for a building at 1st and Asbury, the old Cousin's, beginning in February, when the old Fourth Street Cafe lease is up. Looks like a nice spot, with an enclosed porch and outdoor patio, pretty much the same neighborhood. Should satisfy the many bereft Fourth-Streeters who left their email addresses and pleas in a little notepad at the old location. Just goes to show you, some things are too good to let go of.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
