Boardwalk burrito

It's hard to miss the stylish newcomer called Clancy's that has perched its Spanish-tile and trellised terrace alongside the Ocean City boardwalk near 12th Street. Connected to the Clancy's Pubs in Sewell and Brooklawn of pot pie fame, this is essentially a diner with a seaside view. As diner kitchens go, it still plays second-griddle to the frumpier standby, Cafe Beach Club next door. But still, these open-air tables are hard to beat for a relaxing morning meal with an ocean breeze. The hearty breakfast burrito - an herbed tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, onions, peppers and jack cheese - was the perfect fuel for a long day of riding the waves.

The breakfast burrito costs $7.50 at Clancy's By the Sea, 1244 Boardwalk, Ocean City, 609-398-3344.
