3. Paul’s Daughter

Paul's Daughter

Paul’s Daughter is located directly on the boardwalk just steps away from the iconic Deno’s Wonder Wheel, the Cyclone, and the New York Aquarium. The stall serves all kinds of boardwalk fare, from pizza and cotton candy to funnel cakes and knishes, but seafood is the specialty. Their lobster rolls and clams on the half-shell are what patrons enjoy most.

Business partners Gregory Bitetzakis and Paul Georgoulakos opened the original eatery in 1962 as Gregory and Paul’s. The first location was in an old Howard Johnson’s location at West 8th Street. They moved to their current location on West 10th Street in 1970. The name change came in 2009 when Bitetzakis retired.
