Five More South Shore Bar Pizza Restaurants
Just like roast beef sandwiches in the North Shore of Massachusetts or hot lobster rolls on the Connecticut coast, bar pizza is a South Shore specialty. These personal-sized pies run rampant in old-school joints, from Canton to Carver. Made with cheddar instead of mozzarella and with a crispy crunchy crunch, the myth of the South

New England Halloween Events for Kids
Autumn’s here; you know what that means if you have kids. (Hint- it’s not pumpkin-spiced lattes or Oktoberfest beer.) It’s that Halloween is right around the corner!
