Unapologetically love a good sub shop, and Virgilio's Bakery in Gloucester is a must visit when you are in town.
I got my family cookies, but I could have stocked up for the week when I visited.

Did you know you can visit a castle North of Boston ?
Hammond Castle Museum was built in the late 1920s by scientist/inventor and collector John Hammond, Jr.(1888-1965).and is currently decorated for the holiday season.
Highlights are the Grand Hall, the Library, Den and guest bedrooms which hosted celebrities of the times.
This was my favorite field trip growing up, and kids of all ages can explore for hours with all there is to discover.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Steve Uliss, founder and owner of Firefly’s BBQ and beloved husband, father, employer, mentor, and friend to so many.

Steve was far more than a chef and entrepreneur: as a restaurateur, he was relentlessly innovative and resilient; as a community member, he was continuously engaged, fully committed, and constantly generous. His vigor, humor, love, and kindness will be sorely missed by all.

While we grieve this immense loss, the Uliss family and the Firefly’s BBQ team truly appreciate all of the outpouring love and support we have received. Steve’s presence was larger than life and he made an impact on everyone he met. Firefly’s would not be what it is today without Steve, but also without all of you. We look forward to continuing to honor Steve’s legacy through his passion and love for his customers and this community. Steve would be so proud to see everyone coming together to support his dream, as well as Amy, Carly, Rachel, and the Firefly’s family.

Was shocked and saddened to hear the news about Steve Uliss. After working with him recently, I know two things about him, he loved his family and was a true entrepreneur. He will be missed.

Best Pie for Thanksgiving?

10/31/2024

With so many fireplaces, the ultimate date night spots in the burbs is Fireside Tavern in Sherborn.
With an impressive number of high end and comfort food classics, drink to match, and so many dining options all near fireplaces, you can see why locals are loving this new concept in a historic spot.
Picking favorites is hard, but i'd suggest
Tuna Tartare with rice paper crackers.
Herb roasted half chicken or the Overstuffed Lobster Roll
And definitely one of their rotating desserts.

10/29/2024

Fall Means Comfort Food Date Nights, and Italian spots top my list.
And Alta Strada by Chef Michael Schlow at Foxwoods always impresses.
They have a Wood fired oven so pizza is a must
And their pastas please everyone with a cascade of cheese over the top.
Don't overlook their steaks which I loved,
or their desserts like Tiramisu or the popular bomboloni
And seasonal cocktails always round out the night.

Brunch seven days a week, at a comfort food focused, family friendly restaurant,
This is Kith and Kin in Hudson.

Gotta love a Chef Owner with an impressive culinary background making everything he can from scratch

My favorites were the super tender Local Slab Burnt Ends,
Perfectly cooked wings, with Korean Bulgogi and Buffalo Sauce, And that super creamy mac and cheese, best ive had in a while.

Other fan favorites are Chef's house made corned beef hash
The Crispy Cauliflower
Cheddar Bacon Cast Iron Dip
The chicken with chicken fat roasted potatoes

And leave room for their Chocolate chip cookie Sundae
Kith and Kin Hudson

There's absolutely nothing I enjoy more than finding a family-friendly Mom and Pop Shop, with a great novelty, run by super nice people. The spot is open Tuesday through Sunday for breakfast and lunch, and Fridays and Saturdays until 9:00 p.m. Its great for a sunset visit to an airfield for ice cream for the kids. If the airfield's manager is on site and you ask nicely, they will give you a tour and let you see some of the planes in the hangers as they are doing repairs or reconstructing.
Throughout the year they host air shows, drone shows, and I can't wait for December where they will do Santa touchdowns and meet and greets.
The Flight Deck at Southbridge Airport

In 1704 this tavern opened and it is still going strong.
Whether you stay overnight or just visit for dinner, The Red Lion Inn Tavern in Cohasset will impress.
The tavern side is cozy and the dining room side has and open kitchen and additional bar space.
But the elevated New England cuisine is the star. And it is almost impossible to pick favorites but the Bolognese is a crowd pleaser, the steak was impossibly tender, and the cocktails were dangerously smooth.

I love my New 21 Inch Fuoco Smokeless Fire Pit. I already had a platform with a stone slab and I assembled it on top in three easy pieces. I have plenty of seasoned wood, and it is large enough to hold a good amount of wood below the fire ring. With a super dry Fall in the North East many towns have Burn Bans for safety. My yard and neighborhood are beautiful, and I want to kee it that way. East Oak #eastoakliving #eastoakfire @EastOakLiving

Don't sleep on the Yankee Candle Village Great day trip to plan for a day of shopping, selfies and fun.

One of the great New England resorts, The Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe Vermont has so much to offer. Family friendly, great restaurants and so many activities year round, this is a bucket list destination.

Did you know you can visit John F. Kennedy's Favorite Restaurant? Union Oyster House

Two amazing date night sister restaurants, North of Boston in Newburyport are The super cute Brown Sugar by the Sea and The Joy Nest Both have great dished and amazing Ramen, but their cozy comfort style make them perfect for a date destination.
