Meet Pudding! Cape Ann Animal Aid

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Meet Pudding! This big guy was picked up as a stray back in 2019, not much is known about his life before that. He was adopted out all those years ago but has made his way back to us, his family loved him but unfortunately Pudding wasn’t too fond of his feline brother and had to come spend some time with us, that is until he found you! Pudding hasn’t spent too much time with us here, and it’s safe to say he isn’t a fan of all the crazy commotion that shelter life brings. Pudding would do best in a quiet home without any other pets. He’s considered special needs because he’s believed to have had a polyp in his ear at some point, which caused him to have a slight head tilt, he also is FIV positive. Interested in having this big guy in your home, please stop on by and see if you have a connection!

Great news! We extended our New Year’s adoption special and waived the adoption fee for Pudding to help him find his forever home soon!

Gloucester Gets Salty… and Machaca Gets Sizzling 🧊🔥

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

If you needed a reason to brave the cold and hit downtown this winter, this is it.

During Gloucester’s So Salty Festival, Machaca is doing something we almost never do…

we’re opening for LUNCH.

📅 Saturday, January 24 & Sunday, January 25

🕛 Open 12–4:30PM 

While the city fills with ice sculptures, winter magic, and salty coastal vibes, we’ll be inside serving hot, crave-worthy comfort food that hits exactly when you need it most.

Yes, the Smashburger Is on the Lunch Menu 👀🍔

If you’ve heard the hype but haven’t stayed up late enough to try it, this is your moment.

Our Smashburger, normally a late-night favorite, will be available during lunch hours for So Salty weekend. No waiting until 9PM. No late night required. Just pure smashburger perfection when the sun is still up.

Alongside the Smashburger, we’ll also be serving:

• The Machaca Burger

• The Hawaiian Burger

Burger Special | Dine-In Only

The Perfect Winter Pit Stop ❄️

So Salty is all about exploring downtown, popping into shops, checking out the ice sculptures, and soaking up Gloucester’s winter energy. Machaca is your warm-up spot, grab lunch, thaw out, and refuel before heading back into the cold.

This is a limited-time, once-a-year kind of thing. If you’ve ever said, “I keep hearing about that Smashburger but…” this weekend is your chance.

Come for the ice.

Stay for the burgers.

And enjoy Machaca in a way you usually can’t.

We’ll see you next weekend. ❤️🔥

Half hour after sunset

There is a term called the Golden Hour, an hour before sunset and an hour after.  As the sun goes down, the color can continue.

Art of the Print: Path to Opportunity opens February 7-8

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

An art collection showcases works in “conversation” – a visual language – curated by the keen collector. Together, opportunity and value open a dazzling path for the collector’s identity to shine.

CAPE ANN COLLECTORS’ 2026opening show, “Art of the Print: Path of Opportunity,” opens Saturday, February 7 and Sunday, February 8, 1 – 5 p.m., and runs Saturdays through February 28. CAC offers both opportunity and value through our “black and white” prints on display in our main gallery (all 52 works are available). Works in this affordable collection include lithographs, etchings, monotypes, and silkscreens – all are vibrant, historically significant, and narrative driven.

While on Cape Ann, many masters honed their exemplary skills. Painter-etchers Stephen Maxfield Parrish and William Meyerowitz mastered etching to reach wide audiences, being personally involved in the entire process of creating the image, grinding the plate, and pulling the print. Additionally, lithographer Stow Wengenroth, referred by Winslow Homer as “the greatest black and white artist in America,” developed an uncanny mastery for capturing the mood, light, and texture of Cape Ann’s compelling landscape.

Beat a path to CAPE ANN COLLECTORS and seize the opportunity to contemplate, commence and re-envision your own collection!

The Cut Bridge

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

As the city finds way to get over the Cut Bridge, the workers seem to be polite and working hard. Traffic is moving with the corporation of drivers.
