For years my mother and I met up at Halibut Point Restaurant on the East End for a festive toast before strolling and shopping Main Street. I think I had my first buttered rum there. We had so many favorite stops. What Ladies Night traditions do you recall fondly?

**Which means: the 50th Ladies Night will land in Gloucester’s 400th+ Anniversary year!**
