Hello, readers of The Inquirer Morning Newsletter. First: Pennsylvania is not tracking all coronavirus cases in vaccinated residents, but other states are, and their data are telling. Then: Food critic Craig LaBan shares his list of the best Shore dining from LBI to Wildwood. And: Philly is pouring millions into violence prevention as shootings soar.

Food critic Craig LaBan is back with a second round of recommendations as part of his quest to find the best restaurants at the Shore. For his second helping, he focused on the towns strung between LBI and Wildwood. Among the seaside delights: a surprising trip to the Greek isles in Wildwood and the revival of two Ventnor landmarks. After the most difficult year, he writes, it was just what we needed: a summer menu serving a fresh taste of hope.  Read LaBans full review.
