When I first came up with the bright idea to share seasonal reopenings in Gloucester, I did not expect the list to blow up quite the way it did. It was not originally intended as a full guide to all restaurants but it is getting much closer to that than to its original purpose. I will mostly not be including sub/pizza/coffee/pickup spots UNLESS they are seasonal and expecting to reopen soon. With all those caveats, and with much thanks to FOB Bex Borden for her work on this here’s the updated list as of March 26 2021.
