Seaport Grille & Virgilio’s Bakery
We’ve decided to switch things up at Seaport Grille this summer with a little bit of help from our neighbors at the famous Virgilio’s Bakery!
Beginning in 1961, three generations of Virgilio family members have owned and operated their bakery located here in Gloucester. Their speciality baked breads and rolls are made fresh daily and delivered to restaurants and supermarkets throughout Cape Ann. According to Virgilio’s, “the bread makes the sandwich,” and at here Seaport Grille we couldn’t agree more.
Some of our favorite menu items that have benefited from the fluffy yet crisp and perfectly toasted Virgilio bun include our Gloucester Haddock Sandwich, our Sully’s Bacon Cheeseburger and our popular and delicious Lobster BLT.
Join us for #summeratseaport to indulge in a taste of our Gloucester Haddock Sandwich made with fresh haddock and home-made tarter sauce, our Sully’s Bacon Cheeseburger filled with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon and American cheese…

Our House Finch Babies Are About Ready To Take Off
The momma and poppa finches were busy this summer. Three rounds of eggs in the nest that they built in the spring wreath on our front door.
You may remember when we returned from vacation late one night we entered the house through that door and the dad finch flew into the house. We had a hell of a time getting it out.

CBD and Inflammation
One of my favorite properties about CBD is it’s anti-inflammatory effect on the body. While inflammation is apart of the body’s immune response, it isn’t always perfect. It can be beneficial when, for example, your knee sustains a blow and tissues need care and protection. However, sometimes, inflammation can persist longer than necessary, causing more harm than benefit. People with chronic inflammation are susceptible to asthma, tuberculosis, arthritis, Chrones, various types of cancer, and in some cases Alzheimer’s. Additionally, our environment can be causing inflammation in ways we don’t even realize. Are you eating an all organic diet? are you breathing in factory fumes or car exhaust on a daily basis? Do you drink a lot of soda? Because of these exposures, inflammation is likely running rampant in your body, and more importantly, your brain. Luckily for us, CBD can counteract this effect.

“Kaboom” J. Schneider submits- Postcards from the Edge… of Summer Vacation Part 4
As a kid, a rainy summer day in Gloucester in the 1960s meant a movie at the theater on Main Street, Candle Pin Bowling by the dreaded rotary, a museum, or arts and crafts at home with WSBK on the TV as background noise. When it came to arts and crafts, it was a mix of writing and addressing postcards my mother insisted my sister and I send to friends and relatives before school started in the fall, and my weird, creative, warped mind screwing with those postcards. My mother blamed it on MAD Magazine, which is why I read it. Years later I would work for MAD, so there you go, mom!
Decades before the computer, email or Photoshop, I would sit and cut out pictures from magazines and newspapers, then using gobs of Elmer’s Glue to paste them onto the postcards. Each one a piece of art. No longer would I hear how anyone got the same postcard, and considering there were only six different postcards available at Mal’s (then Ame’s, now a giant Stop& Shop), it was quite an accomplishment.
During the 1980s I was able to make color copies of postcards I was still defacing. I now have folders full of them, from cities around the country, but Gloucester will always be my favorite place to make the recipients wonder if the town is a little too weird.
