Culinary Corner: Concord’s Colonial Inn, Concord

“Working Thanksgiving Day at the Colonial Inn is one of the most memorable days of the year,” said Chef Stew. Concord’s Colonial Inn‘s historic yet contemporary menu and ambiance is truly something to be thankful for. This historic inn, which dates back to 1716, beckons you to immerse yourself in a truly authentic colonial experience. They offer 16 historic and uniquely appointed guest rooms, 32 modern style hotel rooms, and suites, along with two cottages, three separate dining room experiences serving delectable menus, and a variety of distinctive spaces for meetings and events. This picture-perfect, cozy inn located at 48 Monument Square, Concord, is nestled in the middle of town. This notable treasure is just a short walk from the North Bridge, where the ‘shot heard ‘round the world’ was fired, as well as Battle Road Trail, the five-mile path of the British troops to Concord on April 19, 1775, and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, the final resting site of Concord’s renowned literary figures like Louisa May Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

A model train runs along the back wall of this grocery store, right above the dairy case. I can’t think of a better way to make buying milk feel like a small adventure. The store opens at 6 AM and stays open until midnight, seven days a week. That gives you a lot of hours to plan a holiday feast.

Massachusetts Locals Get Their Fried Clams at This Little Walk-Up Shack Right on the Water

A seagull once snatched a gourmet lobster roll right out of a customer’s hands at this seafood window. The owner saw it happen and simply handed over a fresh one. That story alone made me want to go.

Zippity Do Dog is for sale again as owners cite health issues

Just six months after taking ownership of the popular Framingham hot dog stand Zippity Do Dog , owners Alan and Paponake MacIntosh are looking for a new buyer, citing health reasons. The MacIntoshes took over the beloved hot dog stand parked at 160 Speen St. in May and have since revamped the menu with new ingredients and items while continuing the nearly 20 year old business. They purchased the stand from former owner Roland Houle, who stepped away from the business after seven years to pursue a new career opportunity. In a social media post on Nov. 4, the MacIntoshes announced that they made the decision to sell Zippity Do Dog and find a new owner to continue the business. "Due to recent health complications, we have been forced to make the incredibly difficult decision to sell Zippity Do Dog," the post read. "It is a special part of the community with a wonderful history and loyal customers who have made every day worthwhile." The MacIntoshes own Doragon Eatery in Ashland, which they are also looking to sell.
