Press Restaurant on Lexington Avenue

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Magnolia is getting a new restaurant at 2 Lexington Avenue. The owner is Scott Spencer, with his major helpers, Maddi and Emily, gave me the opportunity to have a peek at this great addition to Lexington Avenue.

This place looks great and look forward to having breakfast or lunch there.

A thank you note from TBT Post

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Richard from TBT Post sent this email out on Sunday.  Another reason we love our local stores.  Thank you Richard.  As I am typing this, have the wonderful warm socks that TBT Post sell on.

This Sunday morning I shoveled my way out of my house in Rockland Mass to enjoy my adventurous drive north to our wonderful City of Gloucester Mass.

 When I arrived in the City of Gloucester off of RTE 128 I could only say one word. WOW!!!!

The streets and sidewalks were cleaned as if we didn’t even have our first blizzard of the year.

 I was able to walk right into the TBT Post Store and open it for customers as if it was a summer day. Despite the foot and a half of snow.

 I am just speechless.

 The only words I can manage to say at this time are “Thank You Gloucester and to everyone involved”

 It was great to see that Short and Main had a nice crowd for their Sunday Brunch today.

 Premier Imprints, The Olive Oil Company and other stores where open ready for  business.

 Café Sicilia who is always open, was open with my favorite morning cup of hot chocolate and sweets that we all love.

 Café Sicilia has the best cup of Hot Chocolate for the worst blizzard mother nature can ever come up with.

 Thank you  to the City of Gloucester and everyone who works so hard making Gloucester a fun destination all year round.

 TBT Post is so proud and we feel so fortunate to be a part of the unlimited positive energy in the City of Gloucester Massachusetts.

 Note: TBT Post did pass the positive energy forward by shoveling out some of the cross walks.

 A Million Thanks to The Wonderful City of Gloucester Ma!!!!
