There’s A Reason the Causeway Restaurant Is Ranked 5th our of 127 Restaurants In Gloucester On trip Advisor
I have no idea how they put out the quality food and huge portions that they do at The Causeway but Iām not about to question it- the formula just works. People drive from Upstate New York just to eat here.
Insider tip:
This is the time of year to eat here. I donāt even bother in the summer because Iām not the kinda guy that waits a half hour for a seat at a restaurant. But this time of year you can get in, especially if you go just before noon or just after noon.

Round Up of Top 2013 Local and National Art Stories: Advocacy
Hats off to Catherine Ryan for this amazing series!
THANK YOU CATHERINE!!!
Part One: ADVOCACY
The word āCreativeāĀ Replacing the noun āartistā with ācreativeā nearly mainstream, at least for the DIY and the art world!
National news, December 5, 2013:Ā No, not Art Basel. Not the sale at Christies. Itās theĀ Arts impact on the GDP.Ā The National Endowment for the Arts and the US Bureau of Economic AnalysisĀ released resultsĀ of their joint report announcing that the creative sector (2011) added 500 billion to the United States Gross Domestic Product. With this base number at last in place, the arts impact on GDP can be measured annually from hereon. The GDP measures the nationās production of goods and services. Putting the pressure on and leading the stats, contributors includedĀ HollywoodĀ film industry, cable TV production, advertising, broadcasting, the performing arts, publishing, independent artists, and design and architectural services. Other measurable indicators include production output and workforce. Analysts estimated the production output for the creative sector to be greater than 900 billion (where arts education including college departments joins the list), and 2 million plus folks working in the creative sector.
