6) 1 p.m. Hoagies vs. subs

Just down the street from Noyes is White House Subs, a sandwich shop of almost ludicrous reputation. White House has been open since 1946, and is probably as old as the debate over whether the sandwich is called a hoagie or a sub. Takeout lines are often longer than those for a table, so either arrive early if you’re taking your sandwich to the boardwalk or beach, or settle in and order up an Italian ($15; half $7.50): an impeccably fresh roll stuffed with provolone, ham, Genoa salami and capicola topped with hot pepper relish. There’s another location in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino which is convenient if you’re spending the day on the beach.

7) 2 p.m. Prohibition payback

Little Water Distillery, a relatively new kid in town, opened for production in December 2016 in a former Prohibition-era warehouse (some of the bottles they dug up when digging the foundations are displayed in the bathroom). The names of the spirits, like “48 Blocks Vodka,” pay tribute to the city and the airy, garage-like space, where the owners distill their silver and aged rum, whiskey and gin, is the first legal distillery to open in Atlantic City. A tour and sampling is $8 (including a $3 credit toward any purchase), and there’s a bar at the back where ambitious cocktails incorporating homemade ginger beer and garden herbs are on offer; take yours outside to the cigar garden where there are chairs and lawn games.

8) 3:30 p.m. Tennessee trends

Just a block from the boardwalk, Tennessee Avenue is spawning a number of new small businesses that are adding extra flair to the city. Get your chocolate fix at MADE Atlantic City, a combination chocolate lab and bar, where the bean-to-bar chocolate is part of every cocktail and dessert on offer (the staff will even set you up with a chocolate and wine pairing if you want). Farther down the street is the all-day Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall, where the patio’s AstroTurf and picnic tables make a relaxing spot for sunny afternoon pints of sour ales, bacon-brewed stouts and the dozens of other craft beers on tap.
