The Fishermans memorial is always nice to see while you're up there.

if your looking for slightly more fancy, Alchemy is a great place to eat.
also take the rt 127 drive around cape ann and into Rockport. It's a nice drive with places to get out and look at where the fish live.

Latitude 43
Passports
Alchemy
The 'back shore' is always a nice drive/walk.

If you are looking for a pub kind of place, I have eaten at the Choate Bridge Pub a number of times ( also drank there too  they are in Ipswich and the food is great. |
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

If you want great seafood and tons of it go to the Causeway Restaurant. It is BYOB and there is a liquor store next door.

Two more options for you-
My favorite place and kind of a local hidden secret is Marias, on Pearl St. Home cooking and great food/atmosphere/price.
Another good place that will feed you well and not break the bank is The Pilot House on Rogers St. Cannot go wrong there and they have a decent bar/lounge area.
FYI- we are still catching mackerel in the harbor so hide the light pole in the back seat with a coupla jigs...  |

second for Passports, especially if you want a more "romantic" outing
I've never been to alchemy, but I hear good things.
although I would listen to Spinn on this one!

gonna sound like a foreigner here but I've always wondered about the crow's nest ever since I read the Perfoec Storm. I know a few Gloucestermen but I've never heard anyone talk about it. Is it good/does it exist? And if it does exist do they have good rum drinks?

Yes, it does exist. In fact they just did an upgrade of sorts to the building which is in a different location than the movie. Basically, The Crows Nest was/sometimes still is a "dive" bar in town. True to the movie though it is a place where fisherman can spend all the trip money getting hammered. Can't say I have had a rum drink in there. Amazing what a movie can do for a business/city. I still see tourists snapping pics outside of the place all the time. As for the storm and tragic loss of life, I personally knew two of those guys and remember seeing all the destruction along the shore that Halloween. The trip before the Perfect storm I was invited onto the Andrea Gail while it was in port. The wife of one of the guys(who I worked with) got us some fresh swordfish and a quick tour. Very tragic... |
