Atlantic City New Jersey.  Sun, surf and sand.  The Queen of Resorts.  The boardwalk.  Well, the Borgata is not on the Boardwalk so it doesn’t have all that AC has to offer.  But it does have a very nice Buffet.  What is wrong with me that among the roasted meats, elegant entrees and wonderful dishes, I find myself trying the pizza.
