Each year, Northshore Magazine offers a notable way to support our Cape’s economy. The magazine’s Best of the North Shore (BONS) competition engages the interest and participation of North Shore consumers, the magazine’s readership, in voting their favorite product and service businesses in a variety of categories, from restaurants, to service providers, retail shops. et. al.

Sometimes You Just Need a Little Tonno

Posted on by Pat D

It was one of those nights recently……I just needed a little Tonno. I always feel a little spoiled when I am there and the food and drinks are very satisfying. AND, that night, it was like Old Home Days. We saw several friends including Nichole Schrafft and her crew as well as Kerry McKenna! Shawn served us with efficiency and friendliness. Tonno and staff is appropriately attentive to COVID protocols and we felt very secure. Jim enjoyed his Caesar Salad while I had garlic bread with prosciutto (YUMMM). We had Chicken Milanese and Veal Milanese along with cocktail specials pomegranate margarita and red sangria. It was just what I needed. Thanks, Tonno!

Rechargeable Spotlight,18W IPX7 Water-Resistant Flashlight, Super Bright 2000 Lumens CREE LED,10000mAh 20h Ultra-long Standby,Ideal Spotlight for Boating, Camping, Hiking, Hurricane survival

Our boat doesn’t have a T-Top or place to mount a spotlight for when we’re coming home through the river in the dark. I don’t have the best night vision so I was looking for a solution. After hours of research this inexpensive rechargeable handheld seems like it’ll work perfectly.

Pros:

  • Lightweight
  • Comfortable to hold with the pistol grip
  • Really long concentrated beam
  • Rechargeable with the latest USB-C connection (no need to replace expensive batteries)
  • Cell phone charging port
  • Water resistant
  • Inexpensive

Come join us as we revisit a routine highlighting famous movie theme songs.  Not musicals but movies whose theme songs became iconic. Star Wars, Moon River, Midnight Cowboy, Mrs Robinson and more.  You bring the popcorn and I’ll bring the music and steps.  

For Restorative Yoga, find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work. For more information on Restorative yoga, check out my site, niawithlinda.com. It is a lovely passive practice that gives the participant relaxation and calm. Who couldn’t use that right now.

If you are new to Nia and Restorative Yoga with Linda, these streaming classes are free. Share with anyone who you feel needs a little movement or peace in their lives during this period of social isolation.
