Boston Senior Home Care
Category: Trainers
Neighborhood: Chinatown
BSHC is also the home of Boston Elder Info hot line which a local info clearing house on all elder services in Massachusettes ( free service) .
Some of the services it provides to low to moderate income seniors include: meals on wheels, personal care, homemakers, protective services, day care, advocacy, medical transportation and case management to name a few.
TGND replaces "Cafe 97" which was a decent breakfast place. RIP the "Hot Dog Omlette"
The owners sunk a ton of $ into this space which looks amazing.
The bar and the restaurant looks fabulous.
Here is the deal.
The bar, and the beer are the highlights. I know what the owners are trying to do. A cool bar with tonz of beer taps with decent pub food at decent prices.
Unfortunately the food stops short. I had the fried haddock which was a big piece of haddock which was over cooked on the ends and undercooked in the middle.
The fries as well as the fish was greasy. Time to change your oil or turn the heat up on the fryalator.
Here is the Breakdown:
2 soups, 2 beers and 2 entrees (1 burger, 1 fish fry) was $51. Kind of high for 3 star mediocre food.
Please work on the kinks and we will be back to try again.
Also, can you build a deck out back?
Much better than a few years back. Better service and menu and the cigarette smoke is gone.
Sam is friendly and she remembers our name.
The breakfast specials are the most creative and better value.
Get there early as it fills up fast on Sunday AM.

The Kitchen at Windham Junction
Category: American (Traditional)
Stopped in for breakfast and ordered at the kitchen counter.
Got the stuffed breakfast sandwich ( Portuguese roll, egg, cheese, ham , and hash browns) and a cup of clam chowder. Both were very good. Chowder could of been hotter.
The treat of today was that we sat outside on many offered picnic and lunch tables on the grounds.
Jackie was able to join us, as they are pooch friendly.
Dennis and I went on a hot air balloon ride.
Dennis gave me a gift certificate for my birthday and today was the day we scheduled the ride with High 5 Ballooning.
Tony, the owner and fearless balloon pilot, with his great crew, did an fantastic job with explaining everything from general safety to ballooning history.
We all met at the meeting place on Rt 111 in Salem were we got a brief orientation.
We were all then transported via van to Wal-mart in Salem were we all helped in the set up of our big yellow hot air balloon with a happy smiling face on it.
Shortly we took off and the wind took us due South East toward Atkinson. The ride was about 45 minutes and just incredible views from high above to down low to just over the tree tops.
From really high we were able to see Boston, the ocean, Mt Washington (over 100 miles away ), Manchester, Lowell, and beyond.
The crew did an great job of getting everyone involved to help out with the set up and breakdown of the balloon.
At the end, we landed in someones front yard, we all packed up the balloon and celebrated by giving the land owner a bottle of champagne. We all then ourselves celebrated our flight with a champagne or mimosa toast as well as a reading of "Balloonists Prayer".
The entire trip was over in about 2 hours and we all were in great spirits as we met some new local friends as well shared in a really cool and special experience.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
I guess his service is okay.
He comes on time. His work is efficient and he seems to know what he is doing.
He cleans / vacuums the oil furnace.
Changes the air filter.
Changes the filter on the oil tank.
Checks the piping and air venting to the chimney.
Probably more too.
He is a solo operation. He says he works for another heating company FT and this is his side job.
We paid $130. Our neighbor reports that he knows a guy that charges less.
Go figure.

Kev's Country Store
Categories: Beer, Wine & Spirits, Convenience Stores
My local quickie mart has new owners. "KP" is the new Indian owner and seems very nice.
Much has changed at Kev's. The former owners discontinued the lottery as well as payment of utilities, and a lot of inventory.
I hope it all returns, esp the lotto. Me loves my POWERBALL.
Otherwise it looks the same.
I will update as more changes come about.

Kev;s is a local family owned dapaniere store that I stop into everyday. Its has a nice local flavor.
I love the location on N Main st, as it is so close and it has saved me so many times from having to travel the extra 7 min to the RT 28 strip to buy a staple item that I needed. They also have beer and wine, lotto, and soft serve ice cream. I really like their fresh made small sandwiches (egg, seafood, tuna, and chicken) that they make every morning which I enjoy for a non traditional breakfast. they also have coffee, hot dogs, homemade clocks, popcorn, ribs, some iffie staple produce, newspapers, and the like. I like it that I can be in and out in less than 1 minute.
Always friendly and good service.
Tonight was a 2 piece jazz band. Cool!
Love the fresh white and clean table clothes and napkins. - Now that is gracious living!
Some of the menu highlights include:
Calamari- lightly breaded and fried- never greasy- Nice and spicy dipping marinara. Grated carrot garnish does not make sense? WTF?
The chicken parm- Just perfect- cheesy, and the tomato gravy is so good.
Again- the Bruschetta is to die for.
Vodka Penne- Creamy and spicy heaven.
Solid 4 stars overall.
My suggestions for improvement: CLEAN & REMODEL THE MEN"S ROOM! Total YUCK!
-I found out this does have a handicapped restroom. Please unlock it for the customers and for an official YELP inspection.
Too bad wheelchairs can not enter the front door.
- Only 2 dessert options? WTF?
- According to my Italian female companion, the cappuccino was terrible. I concur-- it smelled of instant hot chocolate.
- They do not take American Express.
All the small positives make Lucianos a delight and a relaxing place to kick back and unwind after a stressful week.

Thanks to Yelper Annette for finding this little treasure located at 52 Gilcreast Road.
A great little place with huge portions.
We went last night and here are some of the highlights.
- White Crisp tablecloths and napkins
-The Bruschetta- absolutely AMAZING! Never had it this way!
-Huge Portions
-Big Outdoor Deck for el fresco dining(we ate inside, can't wait until next summer!)
-Big unpretentious menu offering all the traditional Italian favorites- the Chicken picata was so good!
-Live music on Friday and Saturday nights : a duet of violin and accordion.
Some negs: The dining room is open concept- not too private.
- VERY Bright dining room
- Men's bathroom is in horrible condition. Not filthy dirty, just old and gross. News paint, and a new exhaust fan.
-Has a bar, but did not look too inviting.
Has a wheelchair ramp (not ADC Recommended) however big step over threshold which a wheelchair could not get over.
- Bathroom is not handicapped accessible
Over all I loved this place and can't wait to come back and try more menu items. .
Our bill came to $51 for 1 app, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks.
I believe the decor...an kitschy American mix of urban pop, to 50's Doo wop.
I LOVED Herb Ritt's poster of Madonna "True Blue 1984"!!"
The food is not bad either. Sassy waitress and surley serivce.
Sunday AM on the TV was AMC- Movie Classics. Cool!

Gordon the owner does a nice job with this campground.
This is a plain and simple smaller campground with not many frills or amenities which is nice.
Has both grassy and wooded lots.
Nice thing about this place is the location. On the top of Hazen's Notch Mountain spectacular views of the VT countryside.
Over looks a small pond filled with moose that graze in the morning.
The sites have H20 and some electrified. Hot showers too.
Very private place. A great place to hide and get away. Far away.
Located off Rt 58 (dirt road and closed in winter) between Lowell and Montgomery.
