Another popular location (although not as old as some other sites) was Mrs. Jay's. Mrs. Jay's was a popular bar and restaurant.
It was founded in 1922 by John and Ida Jacobs and was located on Ocean and Second Ave. John and Ida started by selling hot dogs to tourists in 1922 at the Second Avenue location, but with the help of their daughter Jeanette and son-in-law Murray Wiener, eventually purchased the seasonal snack bar along with the property and established a family restaurant naming it Mrs. Jay's.
John and Ida also opened Mrs. Jay's Beer Garden located on Ocean Avenue to the left of the restaurant serving 2% beer until the end of prohibition in 1933.
In 1974, the new owners of the restaurant building converted it into the nightclub known as The Stone Pony.
