Salty’s Bagels will be serving from our new shop entrance at Whistlestop Mall (formerly AOP3D).

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

It’s been musical chairs at The Whistlestop this month. Our friend and neighbor Adam (aka “The Wizard”) of Aop ThreeD has moved into Apothecary Suil Crow’s former space, and Rebeccah has landed at 153 Main Street in Gloucester. Wishing her all the best in the new space.

We’re thrilled to have expanded a bit, so no more bumping elbows, and a few more bagels coming out each week. A big THANK YOU to the team at Rockport Real Estate for going out of their way to make this transition smooth for everyone.

BTW, BAGEL OF THE WEEK IS ASIAGO!!! Say cheese! 😁

SCHMEARS OF THE WEEK:
🐝 Honey Rosemary
🌶️ Hot Honey

Cape Ann

We’re starting a series. Each issue is a small guidebook to one corner of Gloucester or one way to spend a day here. Curated, slow, and built for the kind of traveler who’d rather find the medieval castle on the cliff than the line outside the next-best brunch spot.

Stones, monuments, harbors, the sea, and home. https://www.thehighlinerhotel.com/
