OCEAN CITY, N.J. — The price hikes were traveling up the Boardwalk the other day, as visitors tallied the rising cost of pizza, not to mention the small cotton-candy-flavored Polish Water Ice gelato, adding just a little insult to the injury of yet another chilly day in May.
“The whole pie was like $25,” said Jarrett Gibbs of Long Island, explaining why his group of Penn State friends just bought a couple of slices from Manco & Manco’s. (It’s actually $24.15 there.)
Gibbs carried a modest blue-colored water-ice gelato, $6.50, as a first course. The cost for gas for a drive down from New York? A sore subject these days at about $65.
