Deadlines are looming so don’t forget to secure your pies soon. If not baking your own, avoid the mall and chain pie stores and instead go local and support the plethora of homemade pie makers around Cape Ann.

Don’t Forget About Oliver’s Harbor When Making Dinner Plans

Posted on by Nichole S.

A few of us met to catch up over drinks and dinner last night. We chose Oliver’s Harbor on Main Street and I’m glad we did. We shared the best calamari I’ve ever had (for real) and a couple of beet salads (beets, sweet potatoes, eggplant, goat cheese, and zinfandel vinaigrette dressing). The photo below is of the stacked beets salad and it was also delicious.

Updated Menu At The Village in Essex

Posted on by Pat D

I noted that The Village in Essex had updated their menu and I was curious so off we went for dinner a few days ago. When we were visiting Gloucester with our children 20 years ago or so, the Village was one of the places we would gather with Gloucester family members so it holds some special memories for us. In the years since, we do go once in a while and have had a lovely experience each time. The recent visit was the same. We made easy online reservations and were seated even though we arrived early. We appreciated that the market prices were posted in the lobby for advance reference. Shout out to Eileen, our friendly server! I noticed several families with young children as well as older couples enjoying their meals so it’s popular for many.

Jim tried the Sicilian Fish Stew and the Seafood Trio. I had the Mediterranean Chicken and I ate every single bite. Strawberry Shortcake for dessert was plenty for the two of us. The choices on the updated menu were nicely varied and suited our tastes. We enjoyed our evening very much and will plan another visit soon!

We are thrilled to announce Stephen Buckley as incoming CEO of the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce.

Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce's avatarCape Ann Community

The Board and I are very excited to announce that Gloucester resident and Boston area business executive Stephen Buckley will succeed Ken Riehl as the organization’s chief executive officer.

Steve was selected following a four-month search that attracted more than 50 candidates from across the U.S. The search committee presented its recommendation to the Chamber’s Board of Directors last month, and his appointment was approved by a unanimous vote.

Steve impressed the Chamber’s leadership with his passion for Cape Ann, his extensive business management experience, and his track record of community involvement. We reviewed a number of extraordinary candidates for his position, and he emerged as the clear choice to advance the Chamber’s mission to support our businesses and the entire Cape Ann community.

Steve has more than 20 years of business leadership experience, most recently as Executive Director of Winchester Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, a 121-bed facility with 200…
