Chef Lee Frank’s Mazon opening soon at former Arrows site in York
YORK, Maine — Chef Lee Frank has been renovating a 1750 farmhouse for the last five to six months and is ready to open his new restaurant at the former home of Arrows. Mazon, now sporting a fully renovated interior, is expected to open by Nov. 29. Frank said the restaurant will offer multi‑course meals reminiscent of his work at Otis in Exeter . After several months focused solely on “flipping burgers” at his Lee Frank’s burger locations in Exeter and South Berwick, he’s eager to return to fine‑dining cooking. “Definitely excited to get back in the kitchen and start,” Frank said. “It feels like it’s been a very long time.” The opening is an exciting new chapter for Frank and his family, as his wife, Brooke, is heavily involved in opening Mazon. The property is special to the couple, as they met while working under the owners of Arrows’ other location, MC Perkins Cove. Brooke was also pregnant with their child when Frank moved up to working at Arrows under the Frank Beard award-winning chefs who owned it — Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier. Working at Arrows was a big step for Frank, who went on to be nominated

Step inside Exeter’s art scene: Fall tour brings 14 studios and galleries to life
EXETER — Whether you’re looking for a weekend outing or already easing into the holiday season, Exeter’s annual Fall Art Tour offers a chance to meet local artists and see what’s new in town. The self‑guided tour runs Nov. 7–8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with 14 stops ranging from Water Street galleries to tucked‑away home studios opening their doors for the event. Visitors can explore fine art, craft, studio collectives and individual workspaces, all within a three‑mile radius and at their own pace. Lauren Hutton, owner of Avery Art in downtown Exeter and a member of this year’s organizing group, said the tour serves several purposes: it gives visitors a chance to explore local art in public storefronts while also offering a rare look inside the home studios where much of that work is created. She said it’s also a way for artists to connect with the community and for residents to “see how vibrant the art community is in Exeter.” Hutton said she has participated in the art tour for three years and has been excited to see it grow each year. This year, she was involved in helping Rose Bryant, the founder of Art Up Front
