Try George’s in Gloucester before you vote for breakfast, it is not as well known as some of the more prominent shops, but it is as good or better than most. Try it for yourself and then decide.

Ithaki is my favorite for brunch as well as dinner. A must for their blueberry pancakes and eggs benedict!

The Stonewood Tavern is Peabody is awesome! I went there last Friday. The food is great and the drinks menu is superb. The place is so busy and the live music is good. The bartenders were very attentive.

Georges Coffee Shop is the Best Breakfast anywhere on the North Shore, hands down. The Food is First Rate, the Portions are Great, the Service is Excellent, and the prices are Perfect. All around win for anyone who finds this Jewel Of Gloucester.

Aren’t we all fortunate to live in an area with such wonderful restaurants, seafood providers, and markets?

If you have not had the lime-coconut muffin at Bohemian Coffeehouse in Melrose, you are really missing something. Hilary is a muffin magician.

Stonewood Tavern in Peabody, Ma is a relaxed, fun and welcoming atmosphere. The food is excellent, a multitude of choices and the live bad was a welcoming surprise. I visited Stonewood Tavern on May 3, to take a family member out for her birthday. It was so good that I returned the following weekend with my boyfriend. He loved it also and The Stonewood Tavern in Peabody will now be one of frequesnted resturants. For a couple who frequents plenty of Northshore resturants this is one of the best!

Anchor Stone Deck – Great job to the Owners & Managers for breaking away from Upper Crust while keeping the quality high and the employees employed. Will continue to support this great local business.

The Airfield Cafe in North Hampton, NH is a hidden gem. This place has the best Lobster Roll around the North Shore. It is LOADED with 7+ ounces of fresh meat and is under $13, Thats not a typo, I said it, under $13. It comes with fries and coleslaw as well. You get the most bang for your buck with this Lobster Roll here, and it is damn good! The scenery is cool too as you can see small planes come and go as you eat. You must try this place.
