Tom Shea’s Sweet Chili Buffalo Wings

Dinner with David Cox and we both agreed these were fantastic.

Tom Shea’s new Horseshoe bar with views of the Essex River is fantastic.   The food is great and I highly recommend the bar menu.

Giuseppe’s Ristorante & Piano Bar Going Into The Space Formerly Occupied By Elliott’s At The Blackburn

Memory Layne (not her porn star name I’m told) and her man Joe are taking over the space formerly occupied by Elliott’s in the Historic Blackburn Building.

Check out the website for now and look for updates as to the renovations taking place in these pages.

Here’s the website for Giusppe’s Ristorante and Piano Bar

From the website-

It seemed like a simple request…

From the back of a restaurant, I called out, requesting one of my favorite songs.

Joe looked up at me from the piano and asked, “Can you sing it?” After we met that summer evening, Joe and I did what everybody does on Cape Ann…..walking beaches, breathing salt air, taking in the great food and entertainment.

Neither of us enjoyed being separated once the off-season rolled around and he traveled abroad for work.  It didn’t take us long to figure out it was time to create a special place for people to enjoy great music, food and company.

We’ve been working and dreaming, in the hope that you will enjoy a unique and wonderful experience here at Giuseppe’s Ristorante and Piano Bar.

Georges By Night- The Total Package

Last night was the total package- fantastic food,fantastic music but most importantly fantastic company.  Thanks Dean for inviting us to a great evening.  It was a pleasure meeting Steve Asaro and wife Chris- what great Gloucester people- unpretentious, fun people who have 5 kids at home and still get out and enjoy themselves.  We had a blast.

Look for the next George’s By Night special evening and reserve your space right away.  It was a packed house.  I suspect because the first one was so successful and featuring music by Chelsea Berry can’t hurt!.  I’m sure Dean will let me know when the next one is so y’all can get a reservation.

Georges by Night Sat May 15th Featuring Music By Chelsea Berry

From Dean Salah-

Hey all, the next Georges By Night dinner will be Sat. May 15th, tickets on sale at Georges $25 per person. We will be serving a delicious Chicken Madeira meal and due to popular demand we are going to run an encore performance with Chelsea Berry.  Chelsea put on a spectacular performance last month and this will give those who missed her another opportunity.

This is a BYOB night so bring your favorite spirits along.  Tickets sold out in two days last month so if you are interested please get down to the shop as seats are very limited. Hope to see you all for another great evening,  Dean

Crawfish at Clearwater Bait and Tackle

I’m not exactly sure what seafood and Elvis have to do with each other but hey we’re in Clearwater- a delightfully redneck quirky town.

My Warm Weaher Drink Of Choice When Away From Home- Stoli-O Tonic Prepared Here At Handsome Harry’s Naples, Fl

On warm days if I’m going to have a cocktail it’s usually an Stoli Oranj (Stoli-O in the bar trade) and tonic.  It is smoothand refreshing and while some flavored vodkas can have an aftertaste which I’m not fond of Stoli-O on a hot day when on vacation and I don’t have access to my favorite local Beauport vodka will suit me just fine.

I had *ahem* a few of these last night 🙂
