Tripoli pizza sauce is amazing. Great pizza , good friendly staff. :-)
Right on 286 down from Hampton Beach or up from Salisbury beach in Seabrook---right next to Dunlaps Ice cream and Markey's across from Brown's .  Good stuff :-)

Dunlap's Ice Cream  

Category: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

4 star rating
 8/10/2009  
the only reason I dont give Dunlap's five stars is because they dont allow credit cards. C'mon people get with the times and accept credit cards. YOu're probably missing a lot of tourists who'd stop but dont have cash on them. I know there's ATMS but sometimes you dont want to pay with cash ..--my credit card doesnt have an ATM debit card on it. :-(
That said I  had cash with me this time and got a Reese's sundae. It was delicious and I'll definitely be back. Staff was courteous and helpful in deciding on menu choices. Thanks Dunlaps!

Boston Drivers are the worst. I am sick of the constant lack of respect for people. I am tired of being run off the road while driving 75-80 in the slow lane...by someone tailgating me at 90+..its the slow lane moron. Move over to the left, and pass on your left. Don't stay there tailgating. I can't move over anywhere. Ingrate! Then there's the morons who won't move over to the left when you're merging onto the highway . MOVE THE F---Over moron! I am merging in front of you. Therefore MOve The F over and let me in. Otherwise you're going to hear a loud horn up your ARSE. I am also sick of people who tailgate in the middle of a traffic jam....or a two lane road..expecting you to pull over. If you do that to me expect another Horn, probably a loud volly of horns as I pull over and you pass expect to see a certain hand-gesture out the window and hear some comments from me as well. Don't be surprised if I call you a F--ing Arse F--CK. - Then I'm sick and tired of the state cops who just sit on the side of the road doing nothing while people fly by at 90+ miles per hour and then they get you for going five miles over the speedlimit at 75. That is B-S. get the people who are driving like maniacs not people who are just going a couple miles over the limit to fill your stupid quota. Then there's people who have blatant disregard for people crossing the street. I've  seen mothers with baby carriages and elederly folks trying to cross and people stop for them only to have horns blared at them from other impatient drivers. People grow the heck up! Also if its a traffic jam its a traffic jam. LAY OFF THE HORNS. I am tired of people downtown when I'm walking around, stuck at lights or in rush hour traffic , continuously honking their horns. Shut the F-up already I dont need to listen to your damn horn and the horn isn't going to get you anywhere any faster so if you honk one more time i might just come over there and ram it up yoru ARSE. - SHUT THE F UP . I hear enough when i'm driving I dont need it when I'm trying to enjoy a walk downtown. SHUT THE F UP - you FING ARSE Wipe.
Boston drivers have to be the worst F-ing ARSE Wipes int he world.

Jordan's Furniture  

Categories: Furniture Stores, Mattresses

5 star rating
 Update - 6/30/2009  
I'm sorry Ian ---you must live like right next to Jordans. - I don't think Jordans is an eye-sore...and ruins the community. In fact. it brings more people to see Wakefield, and find out about lake Q, and enjoy Lake Q and other things wakefield has to offer like the breakheart reservation. I don't think the lights are that bad. I've walked around Lake Q and I actually enjoy the lights and feel they are a work of art, if you look at the lights reflected in the water its quite beautiful.
I honestly dont think its as monsterous a building as people think. Maybe right up next to the highway its pretty big, but even then its not that bad. By comparison the Burlington Mall is much much more massive than this building. I think Jordans has done everythin they can to limit the impact on the environment and the community. I think the view on Lake Q is fine..even with Jordans..-
I enjoy everything about Jordans - well I cant afford the furniture but the hall of mirrors leading the imax theater is fun for the kids-
the interesting strollers for the kids--the make way for ducklings jelly bean display, the wally the green monster, the dancing light show, the trapeeze, the richards ice cream (and sorry Richardsons is the best ice cream around). - (I think they have plenty of good flavors to choose from). - Most ice cream stores in the local area use Richardsons btw. - Fudruckers=Yummy, especially the Sweet poato french fries YUm - and then there's the biggest attraction the IMAX theater. I Just wish they'd ad a MOM movie ride at this location as well
But anyway its not a big eyesore in my opinion. I've seen it from the lake shore and its not as bad as some of the neighbors would like you to believe.and i should also mention the yummy jelly beans. its worth the $9 for 1/3 of bag honestly get the jelly beans if you go to the imax theater

    A Great place to spend half a day:

    Jordan's Furniture is a great place to take the kids  or a friend and spend at least half the day. Yes it is a furniture store which is pretty cool to look around and such, but there's more to do. They have the BEANTOWN , a jelly bean store,  Richardson's Ice Cream, the dancing fountains,  a Grille/Lunch place, a Trapeeze thing you can go on, a vast furniture store to explore, a hall of mirrors,  skeeball, and of coure the IMAX theater.
    The IMAX theater is a bit expensive around $10 but worth it. Right now they are playing Batman Begins and soon will have Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My only complaint is they didn't show Star Wars III on the big screen. The screen is huge and the prices for food aren't too bad. They accept credit cards and there is an atm in the store.
    There is about 500 seats in the Imax theater.
    Overall its a great place to spend half a day or a couple hours,
    and to buy furniture of course. Maybe on the way to the beach or something. Of course you can always just stop by Rhichardsons on the way home from the beach (north shore or NH) or somehting or on the way up to the beach to please the kids. The Jordan's Furniture is located right off 128 exit 39. And just north of Wakefield Center and Lake Quannapowitt. Enjoy!

Bank of America Pavilion  

Categories: Stadiums & Arenas, Music Venues
Neighborhoods: Waterfront, South Boston

5 star rating
 5/22/2009  
I would recommend Bank of America Pavillion even if you don't have a ticket. A suggestion would be to come down to South Boston via the Silverline or walk the Harbor walk from the Aquarium to South Boston. Dinner options include Morton's Steakhouse, The Barking Crab, or the Anthony's Pier 4. A suggestion to listen to the concerts for free which I did just last night for the Keane show, would be the for eating dinner at the LTK - Legal Seafood Test Kitchen . You can sit at one of the outdoor tables and hear the music while you eat. If you don't want to eat there's a nice marble wall you can sit on or can sit in the park nearby - and listen to the music. There's a couple of benches outside Morton's where you can hear, but the best place to hear the music is by the corner of D street and Northern Ave. by LTK (legal Test Kitchen)
Enjoy the free concerts!!!! Sure you can't see anything but its cool to be able to hear the music for free. i could even hear some of what they were saying to the crowd on stage.

Royal Roast Beef & Seafood II  

Category: Restaurants

5 star rating
 5/14/2009  
Been going to the Royal Roast beef in East Boston for years. Now thanks to yelp, I found the one in Stoneham, which is closer to my house in Winchester. After going there about three times, it is definitely worth coming back to. You have to try the crab meat pita pocket! It is huge and yummy! The roast beefs are delicious as well! I have also tried their fried clams which are excellent!  The staff is courteous and friendly even when they are busy. Definitely check this place out in the hometown of Olympic Figure Skater Nancy Kerrigan.

Mwra Nut Island  

5 star rating
 4/21/2009   First to Review
Nut Island is truly a hidden Gem in the Boston area. At the tip of Hough's Neck in Quincy (QuinZ), it can be combined with Squantum Park, Quincy Shore Drive, and the side roads off Sea Street. for a great bike ride, jog, or power-walk for several miles, or you could drive to the end of Hough's Neck and park. The loop is about a mile or two around, and offers views of the Boston Harbor Islands and Moon Island causeway. It has a cool view of the ocean and bays down by Hingham, and Boston,  There's a neat Pier at the end you can fish off of or watch people fish and watch the boats pass in the channel such as the Boston Commuter Boat to Hingham. On the way home you can stop at the The Clam box or Tony's Clam Shop on Quincy Shore Drive. :-) Worth A trip.
Don't forget your camera.
A great place to walk the dog :-)
