The new Frankie's on the Bay will bring a retro theme to 11th Street and Bay Avenue in Ocean City, NJ.
A new restaurant will open in November in the spot formerly occupied by the Bongo Café and Grill at 11th Street and Bay Avenue.
Construction crews install drainage equipment outside Frankie's on the Bay on Friday, Oct. 17.
Frankie's on the Bay hopes to open its doors by the second week of November, according to Lauren Sacco, who is working with her husband, Scott Sacco, and her parents, Frank and Debbie Vito, to create the new eatery.
Frankie's will serve a mix of burger platters, pasta, lasagna, homemade soups and salads, among a variety of other special offerings. For the winter, the restaurant will be open five days (Thursday to Monday) for lunch and dinner, with breakfast served on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sacco said the atmosphere of the new restaurant will be set back in time and "totally different than anything you’ll find anywhere else in Ocean City."
Her family will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Frankie's Pizzeria and Restaurant in Hazleton, Pa., this year, and the new venture will a trendy tribute to coal towns like Hazleton, she said.
Sacco said she's excited about the new opportunity and "looking to make a family down in Ocean City."
