Is Bill and Bob's especially good?

I thought they were worth driving out to! No-frills, plentiful, and served on a griddled bun, which as a not especially sandwich-oriented person I enjoyed. Would definitely go back after another appointment with the optometrist in Medford. We have since received a recommendation for Pete's in the same area, but I can't speak to them myself.

She enjoys diners, local doughnut places, and classic places that serve good Yankee foods, so, anyone, please let me know of any recommendations in Eastern Mass/Southern NH. At 96, these outings are all special events...

[personal profile] spatch likes the roast beef at Kelly's, I love the fried whole-bellied clams. The Revere location is the most fun to eat at because of the beach.

For eating on the beach, we finally made it to Sullivan's at Castle Island last month and I was delighted by their hot dogs and hope to try their fried clams in future.

For local donuts, hands down my favorite is Lyndell's in Ball Square in Somerville, which also makes danishes and half-moons and eclairs and cream puffs and lobster tails and actual cakes and pies. Gail Ann in Arlington Center is tiny and also really nice—I used to visit them more often when I had more occasion to walk through the middle of Arlington.

The Deluxe Town Diner in Watertown has a diner car and terrific Reubens. [personal profile] spatch likes their johnnycakes, too.

Will think more about restaurants. I am somewhat out of the habit, having not actually eaten in one since early 2020 and most of last year and even the beginning of this one was home-cooked only.
