# Bagels and other lovely noshes. The star of the show is the Whitefish Salad. Sabrina sez, "Better than anything on the Upper West Side." Better than Zabar's or Barney Greengrass. You read that right.

Sabrina is all about Chocolate Sea Salt. Peter is Maple Bacon. It is just wrong.

Seafood Time!
These are straight up seafood places. Not high end dining. We tend to favor those spots outside the Old Port in this case.
We have purposely left places like Eventide out because people coming for food generally know of them.
##. 20 minutes away in Yarmouth, but... if the weather is good here is the play. 1. Order a bag of steamers and lobster rolls 2. Eat steamers. 3. Dip lobster rolls in leftover butter from steamers. 4. Pass out
