Morin's Diner in Attleboro, Mass., Interviewed by Guy Fieri, of the Food Network

Article by Eric H.

We are so glad to see Morin's Hometown Diner in Attleboro, Mass., getting the recognition it deserves. Guy Fieri, of the Food Network's fascinating and well-produced "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" show, visited the 98-year-old restaurant last week. The segment should appear on the Food Network sometime this month.

On a personal note and perspective, Morin's is a terrific restaurant that we have been going to for years! This historic breakfast, lunch and dinner downtown dining spot has an unusual but most welcoming look with a diner, tavern, bar, and cozy dining room, all under one roof. We recommend the delicious "comfort classics" like the homemade meatloaf, chicken pot pie, steak tips, baked mac and cheese and Yankee pot roast. If you're feeling a bit more upscale, you can't go wrong with the braised lamb shank or lemon pepper salmon served with beer steamed mussels over saffron, zucchini and red pepper risotto. For appetizers the artichoke and spinach dip is absolutely phenomenal. We have also found breakfasts and lunch to be very good, too, especially the omelets and burgers. Oh, and the chocolate cake is moist, dense, bursting with chocolate flavor and served in a large portion!

Congratulations, Morin's, on being interviewed by Guy Fieri, and thank-you for continuing to put the customer first at your interesting-looking, pleasant restaurant with so many great food selections. We also love the authentic "hometown" feel of your restaurant where everyone seems to know each other. We are not surprised that the Food Network found you!

Good Eeeevening!: A Perspective on New Hampshire Meteorologist Al Kaprielian

Article by Eric H., at VisitingNewEngland.com Somewhere in the 1980s, my esteemed Arlington High School journalism teacher Len Tammaro tipped me off about a New Hampshire television weatherman that he called "Crazy Al Kaprielian." That night, I couldn't believe what I saw: this nerdy-looking guy with a high-pitched voice flailing his arms all over the weather map, contorting his face in every direction, and squealing, "Good Eeeevening!" and "HIGH PRESSURE!" (his future trademark phrases)." All that boundless energy and the myriad antics left the viewer laughing, yet enervated at the same time. In this world of slick, Ken and Barbie television meteorologists, Al Kaprielian has been the antidote to the standard, unctuous television personality. Twenty-five years later, Al is still going strong on MyTV New England with his unique style --perhaps validation that he really loves his job. No doubt, Al has always been an unconventional, unique-looking a...

Visiting My Grandmother Had That Antiques in Wrentham, Mass.

Image
My Grandmother Had That...Antiques  in Wrentham, Mass., is one of those "hidden gem" antique stores that is jam-packed with antiques, collectibles and other items from the past. Located in a charming, two-story old red barn at 446 South St. (Route 1A), My Grandmother Had That...Antiques certainly lives up to its name. You'll find furniture, lamps, desks, chairs, plant holders, fine China sets and just about everything your grandma had, and also didn't have -- like a web address, Facebook fan page or any hint on the Internet that this place exists! Unless you're a Wrentham native, one familiar with the antiques industry, have driven by the red barn on South St., or somebody that just reads maps of Wrentham all day, My Grandmother Had That...Antiques is as hard to find as the rarest antique. You won't even find the name, "My Grandmother Had That," on the building, just a sign that states "Antiques." The My Grandmother Had That name is on ...

Where To Live In Connecticut That Has A Small Town Feel?

Image
Noank, Conn. Editor's note: We recently received an email from one of our readers looking to possibly move to Connecticut. Here is her inquiry, followed by our response... Hi, my name is Courtney and I found your website completely truthful and helpful. I talked to my cousin who lives in the northern part of the east coast and she described exactly what you did! I am currently in Orange County, California, and don't like the "ingenuinity" (we're assuming the word is"disingenuous") and mindset of the people. I have found that Connecticut is a place with great weather and has a lot if cities with a small town feel. I was wondering if there was any way that you could help me specify my search in CT? I would like a city with a small town feel where your neighbors are sweet, but it still has a high quality of life. Essex and Stonington caught my eye, but I've never been so I can't say! Thank you for your time. Thank-you for your inquiry. We d...
