Spicy Margarita Monday At Tonno

Posted on by Pat D

First, sincere thank you and shout out to the Tonno staff for an outstanding event yesterday at the fundraiser to support Junior Dunne. The upstairs room is a perfect location for such an event and the entire staff was nothing but gracious and helpful. Special shout out to Anthony Caturano for his generosity and leadership. Thank you to everyone who stopped by or donated. We couldn’t do it without you.

Back to Margarita Monday, this week it’s the Spicy Margarita at Tonno on Main Street in Gloucester. We stopped in for a bite and I tried the spicy margarita. It’s a little spicier than I expected but the sour mix is very much on point so the drink was very enjoyable. Jim had bar bite tuna and chicken sliders. I ordered the filet because I’ve been craving it for a while now so this was the perfect opportunity. The steak was done to perfection and the bar staff attentive and friendly. For the sake of this post (haha) I also ordered the flourless chocolate cake. Just the right finish on the experience. As I have said before, sometimes you just need some Tonno in your life.

Not a kayaking day on Saturday

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Saturday, it was, needless to say, was a stormy day.  As the rain was letting up took a ride to see the ocean.  It was low tide, but the ocean was rolling and singing a song.  There were some surfers trying to surf at Eastern Point, they were not having much luck.

2026 Generous Garden Tour

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

2026 Garden Tour Tickets On Sale!

Reblogged from Generous Gardeners newsletter:

Join Generous Gardeners for the 14th annual Gloucester Garden Tour on Saturday, July 11th, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM.  Tour the scenic, coastal, and historic eastern shore of Gloucester, a popular summer destination for affluent Boston families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the grand homes from that era with equally beautiful gardens still stand, and several are included on our tour.  Each owner approaches gardening differently, so you will be treated to a range of formal designs to cottage gardens, and an amazing garden that is a garden tour in itself. There is a tea house, a classic orchid greenhouse, and spectacular ocean views. Generous Gardeners is pleased to present these stunning properties that are seldom open to the public.  Shuttle buses will be available to help guests enjoy this year’s 3-mile round trip, self-guided tour.

Tickets/booklets and wrist bands will be picked up at the Stop and Stop parking lot at 6 Thatcher Road near the CVS.  Given the exclusivity of the tour area, there are four different parking locations to be shared when you pick up your ticket. Parking is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is not guaranteed.

Wind advisory got it right. Loud wind sustained through the night into the day– enough to lob unsecured outdoor furniture and objects and bring down messy swaths of spring leaves and twig road debris.
