Co Co. Sala
Categories: Restaurants, Chocolatiers and Shops, Lounges
Like the first yelper wrote, this is a typical sup shop that prides itself on fried seafood dinners, various salads, and a more Italian "feel" due to the name. But it's within a strip mall, got the idea?
I recently visited with a friend, we both ordered salads, specifically said we were eating "here," not "to go," yet our salads arrived at the table, hand-delivered by the cashier, in plastic to-go containers. Do they not serve salads on paper plates?
Props to the place for a recycling bin for bottles.

The Store at Five Corners
Category: Specialty Food
Megan wrote all that's needed to be said about the food and ambience of The Store at Five Corners.
She failed to include this is the oldest continuously-operated store in the country, first established in 1770. Quoting from its menu, "The building has operated as a tavern, a stop on the Pony Express, and a tea room. Records show that George Washington even slept here."
As you can see, this is not your average deli, gift shop, and convenience store. Might be worth a visit the next time you're passing through?

Intermission Tavern
Categories: Bars, American (Traditional)
Tonight was my first time venturing into the bar (I think a bar fits the bill nicely; restaurant doesn't exactly cover a place with a long wooden bar) with a group of about 10 people.
We ordered a variety of dinner items -- chicken wings, potstickers, burgers, sandwiches of this and that; and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had a Patty Melt: hamburger with sauteed mushrooms and Swiss cheese, hit the spot, though the onion strings (they also have onion rings and fries) were too fried for me.
Decent beer selection, nothing to write home about that can't be had elsewhere.
I'll try the place again, but for now is 3 stars. I also vote it down a star since their credit card machine was not working, which may not be their fault but in the middle of the theater district, how many people carry cash?

OK, so the Rockfish only has one pool table, but even one table is one more than any other place in downtown Newburyport.
It's a three-floor bar, restaurant, and lounge complex; with food and drink served on the first and third floors, and the lone billiard players milling about on the second floor with a TV. There are no TVs on the third (at least I don't think there are), but the first floor is where the action is, with a widescreen HD TV over the bar and a few side TVs.
The food is good. Don't go crazy on the entrees, but the appetizers and daily specials are usually tasty. A fair beer selection, too, with both tap and bottle. The Rockfish has a full bar.
Did I mention the jukebox and people watching? And the fact the Rockfish kitchen closes every week night at midnight, a good hour after the nearest competition?

Oh, man, I can't give The Upper Crust enough stars. Why does Yelp limit it to five?
I've been a fan of the chain for several years, dating to their early stores on Boston's Charles Street and in Coolidge Corner.
The Newburyport location is clearly the smallest one I've seen, especially compared to the next-nearest Salem location, but that's OK as I typically stop in for a slice for lunch or order-out a pizza for a night, knowing there will be leftovers.
And, unlike every other pizza pad in town, The Upper Crust is the only venue to order any pie with whole wheat dough, which is what I *always* get. The prices are a tad steep, but hey, it's delish!

Angie's is much more than a coffee shop: it's the only diner (err, dinette) in town. Smack-dab in the heart of Newburyport, Angie's is where breakfast is served all day and the lunch options are pretty good too.
I've sampled many things on the menu, but my favorites are the turkey hash (make sure to order a side of eggs and a side of turkey hash, or you'll get the turkey hash AND the hashbrowns), the Greek-style omelette (it comes standard with tomatoes and cheese, though I like to add loucanico), and the tuna salad (which has a healthy dollop of tuna).

If you don't like homemade ice cream, churned with 15% buttermilk from a local dairy farm, while doing whatever you do on your laptop with free wireless access and people-watching both in the calmly-painted store or outside through the windows overlooking Friend Street, then don't visit Maggie Sundae.
But if the above throbs your head, you know where to go.
They serve dog-friendly ice cream too.

Tendercrop Farm is as good as it gets for organic produce, free range poultry and meat, baked goods, fresh and dry plants and flowers for all seasons, and assorted gift shop foods.
I shop at Tendercrop about twice a month to load up on green peppers, scallions, tomatoes, vidalia onions, strawberries, blueberries, apples, chicken drumsticks, maple sausage, lean ground beef...
The prices are reasonable, if not dirt cheap compared to big box supermarkets and because everything is either grown on premises or shipped in from other farms, there are no artificial "enhancements" added to the produce to make them shine.
And it's an independent farm so every purchase adds dollars to the local economy.
Be sure to stop by the rear of the property to say hi to Buffy the Buffalo and whatever the white llama's name is.

I'm surprised nobody has reviewed the only Chinese/Thai/Sushi restaurant in downtown Newburyport.
The combination plates for lunch are a good deal at under $8 and the dinner entrees are tactfully-prepared with fresh ingredients and flavors.
For a Chinese and Thai restaurant, the food is delicious and worth a visit. I recommend the massaman curry, Thai salad with peanut sauce, chicken teriyaki, egg drop soup, and Moo Goo Gai Pan. You can order white rice or brown rice with every meal.
The sushi is OK but nothing spectacular; Hana Japan across town is much better for sushi preparation in my opinion, as that is a strict Japanese joint.
Oh, the scorpion bowls are also worth a try; share one with a friend!

No Lists
Ari hasn't made any lists yet.
I can't comment on the food, the table service, or the DJing. The drinks were pricey, at $13 or so for martinis and other gourmet drinks. The cocotini was delicious, as was the "cucumber drink," some vodka- or rum-spiked concoction that included soaked cucumbers.
I visited the bar (or maybe it's a restaurant, I suppose?) on a Thursday night and, suffice to say, it was a good thing there was a large group of women in my group.
See, it's a chick bar. I only needed to glance down a long row of square tables to observe about 20 women and no men. If you like women, it's a great place to people-watch and flirt.
