Puerto Rican Flavor Meets Pizza At This Massachusetts Restaurant And It’s Quite A Combination

Bacon pizza on one side of the counter and tostones with chicharrones on the other is exactly the kind of menu combination that makes me stop and look twice. This Massachusetts spot leans into Puerto Rican comfort food with frituras, pernil, empanadas, and sancocho, while still keeping a full pizza menu in the mix. I like that it does not seem interested in choosing just one identity.

Autumn is a great time for discovering Massachusetts craft ciders

REGION – In the late 17th century, hard cider was a popular staple across Colonial Massachusetts. The colonists planted acres of apple trees when they settled, making the fruit readily available. Falling out of popular favor, hard cider once again became a sought-after seasonal adult beverage in the 1980s and has since exploded in popularity. The advent of talented craftspeople who create unique flavors in small batches sets the stage for dedicated followers who enjoy a refreshing low-alcohol beverage as an alternative to beer.

The Old-School Connecticut Seafood Joint With Giant Lobster Rolls Locals Keep Secret

A neon sign with a grinning skull and crossbones marks the spot. Underneath it sits a low blue shack loaded with buoys, ship wheels, lobster traps, and rope. The pirate look is fun, but the backstory is even better. This family seafood tradition traces back to 1927, when a grandmother sold clam chowder from her back porch.
