Coastal Cravings
Last weekend we had the good fortune to return to the island paradise called Nebo Lodge, located on North Haven, an island reachable only by boat or the ferry from Rockland, Maine. This was a repeat visit, following the success of our first trip to Nebo in November, and we were delighted to be back.
On our way back to Boston, after two days of writing, relaxing, and enjoying the company of fellow writers, we decided to stop for a lobster roll lunch in the sea-side city of Newburyport, Massachusetts. Our first thought was to go to Michael's Harborside, an old favorite from the days (years ago) when we lived in the area. But the newly renovated Michael's was crammed with Sunday brunchers, and not willing to wait for a table (or a place to park), we headed instead to Bob Lobster on nearby Plum Island. It turned out to an excellent choice. We had our lunch delivered to us at one of the outdoor picnic tables so we could enjoy the sunny weather and the ocean air. The lobster rolls were overflowing with claw and tail meat, and the onion rings were crispy and delicious. If you live in the area, you can pick up some fresh-caught lobsters (and, perhaps, a few steamers) to take home with you for dinner, or if like us, you'll be travelling far enough that having live seafood along for the ride is inconvenient, take a couple of strawberry-flavored lobster lollies home as mementos (albeit short-lived ones!) of a great meal.
