My View of Life on the Dock
The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
This week Kathy visited the Causeway Restaurant for a bowl of their seafood chowder, her favorite. For $7, it’s a meal and a half. Highly recommended, but to avoid waiting for a table, try the off hours.

Something’s up in Gloucester. Only 2 weeks ago, Dennis Brennan played The Rhumb Line with Dave Sag (see post about that here).
Tonight he’s back in Gloucester @ Jalapenos with Dave Brown, Wolf Ginandes & Dave Mattacks. Could it be the tremendous musical talent resident in Boston is attracting yet another great musician? That’s what we think. So we’ve selected a series of Dennis Brennan videos to feature on gimmesound. See them here.
You might want to call Jalapenos at 978-283-8228 to reserve a table for tonight. The room is usually full.
Here’s a video of Dennis when he was a bit younger.
Come and have dinner at Passports this evening and help support an important cause. A portion of tonight’s sales will go to the National MS society. Enjoy a wonderful meal and help find a cure.
Besides Having The Most Beautiful Room To Dine In Gloucester the Rudder Also Has A pretty Good Web Presence.
Check Out Their Site For All The Details- www.rudderrestaurant.com
The Rudder is available for private functions 7 days a week. Contact Greg
Halle the event coordinator if you would like to book your special function.
For more information on the hours of operation, private functions and
social media visit www.rudderrestaurant.com."

Located in the Heart Of Naples we went after the beach. The food is fantastic, the service friendly and on point.
Must try dish- the chicken marsala.
They get everything right in a relaxed atmosphere. Never pretentious, just right for a meal with family and friends.
Highly recommended!

Hi Joey!
A few of us just graduated from the “Become an Expert” wine series at Savour Wine and Cheese on Prospect Street and had such a great time I wanted to share… The classes were so full of information as to taste, production, food pairing, along with many laughs – they just flew by, we learned more than we’ll ever remember and made friends as well! Kathleen was a wonderful instructor and her shop is just beautiful!!

Living Social Has This Killer Deal. Click here for the deal
From Living Social-
It’s all right for a crawdad to be a little shellfish, but when it comes to doling out fresh New England catch, there’s room to share — especially with this offer:
• $15 for $30 to spend on food and non-alcoholic drinks
Quintessential New England Seafood
Cozy up in the dining room, or take in breathtaking views of Ipswich Bay as you nosh on heaping helpings of clams, shrimp, chowder, scallops, oysters, and the catch of the day. Or, opt for a salmon salad roll, cheeseburger and fries, or the "Boston" sandwich — fried haddock or sole on a toasted roll served with lettuce and tomato. With two-pound helpings of fresh-from-the-ocean lobster, too, you’ll find no trouble in sparing a claw or two for your first mate.
We bought one. If you buy one and share the deal with three of your friends who buy it as well you discount will be free.
Hi Joey,
The Backyard Growers Program hosted its annual garden trainings at The Open Door over the last two Saturdays. Volunteer Garden Mentors and youth from The Food Project provided garden training for over 50 families.
Thanks for posting!

T Max, founder/editor of The Noise, New England’s longest running music magazine, is all over Gloucester this month. You can see him on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes, which airs on Cape Ann TV tomorrow (WED) at 6:30pm, Friday at 1:30pm and Sunday at 6pm. For all you Noise readers who don’t live on Cape Ann, catch the show on-line here.
Then on Thursday, you can see him live at Giuseppe’s in Gloucester with the Singer Songwriter Shuffle. On April 17 he’s Fly Amero’s guest at The Rhumb Line. Speaking of Fly, he’s on the cover of The Noise this month and guess who wrote the cover story? (Read it here). Tomorrow, Fly welcomes his family as special guests at The Rhumb Line for a very special surprise birthday party for his sister Joyce.
And to top it off, T Max has a new CD, Thinking Up A Dream (get it here) featuring eight brand-new original songs, one of which is based on a spontaneous burst of creativity he had while we were shooting a video series about music in Gloucester. More on that in this post.
Just to get you in the mood, we’ll leave you with Allen Estes’ only protest song (with a reggae beat) that T Max inspired him to sing when he was Allen’s guest on Local Music Seen. You can see Allen tonight with Dave Brown, Dave Mattacks, Wolf Ginandes and J.B. Amero at Jalapenos. Bring the kids and request this song . . .
More Allen Estes videos here.
Their wings are my favorite in town.
Served Crispy with a variety of dipping sauces. 25 cents on Tuesdays.
Good Morning Gloucester
