These 7 Massachusetts Taverns Have Been Pouring Beer And Serving Bar Pies Since Before You Were Born

South of Boston, there is a pizza style so local that most of the country has never heard of it: the bar pie, a thin, crispy, personal-sized pizza with cheese baked right up to the very edge of the pan. It grew up in neighborhood taverns, where families and regulars have been sliding into the same booths for generations, and some of these spots were already busy when your grandparents were young.

One inn on this list has been serving guests since 1773, and its turkey dinner comes with a Bird Cage Elevator down the hall. Another spot pairs its holiday meal with live music in a brick basement. I love that Thanksgiving out can feel this different from place to place.

How to shop smart for Thanksgiving

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - With Thanksgiving fast approaching, high prices at the grocery store are taking a bigger bite out of local budgets. “I feel like in my opinion that they went up a lot more than they did a few years ago,” said Chicopee resident Caitlin Nason. “And it’s hard for a lot of families cause they don’t know what to do.”

Eli Eats Blue Lobster and Sees Everything Seafood

Fall break is a much anticipated reprieve from college life, but it can also be a bit bizarre, especially if one is staying on campus to shoot their film project. It then gets really weird if that aforementioned project wraps by Saturday eve, meaning that one has three full days with nothing on the horizon. The campus is, in the words of ska revival band The Specials, “like a ghost town.” Friends have departed for warmer pastures. Professors are professing. There’s actually nothing to do, except Uber to the closest theater, the Picture Show in Berlin, Conn. (rest in peace Metro Movies), to see “You Can See Everything.” The good news is that, on the way, you can get lobster.
