I've got family down there so when we go down its family/kid time and we don't go out too much and if we do its more family friendly/cheaper stuff.
If you don't have a car or access to one you are going to find the island is a lot bigger than you think it is. Not sure if you are working or have the days free but there are pretty good beach buses.
Downyflake's great for breakfasts or lunch (and has been for a real long time). My kids/wife swear their pancakes are the best ANYWHERE.
Rose N crown's (very close to where you are staying) is pretty good and for down there pretty cheap $$. BUt all these places change a lot from year to year and I have not been there this year..
Juice BAR has great homemade ice cream right down the street from you. Expensive but fun to eatwhile you walk on the docks staring at the boats.
Usually when I am down there we borrow my parents car and do our best to avoid town. Nothing better than throwing some bluefish gear in the car, picking up Henry's or a pizza and having a nice sunset on the beach.
As for fishing, if you are in town w/ no car your only real good option is probably the shoreline from Brant/point to the Jetties, you can fish both on the drop. Nice sand bars at the Jetties (BP is Deep). Both can be good spots for eels. If you have a car I like fishing the surf on the s side but it can be real spotty and you have to do a lot of walkling to track them down (if they are even there). SW is the prevailing wind so there's surf almost everyday, so while you don't need waders you'll go home wet&sandy without them if you fish that side..
