Massachusetts Weddings on Pinterest

The grand union between social media and weddings is wonderfully presented through the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism's Massachusetts Weddings! Pinterest pin board. From a wedding on the Berkshire Scenic Railway to saying "I do" by a lighthouse (photo above), this social media page is full of fabulous ideas on where to get married in Massachusetts. Rather than relying on those overly familiar stuffy, staged and stale wedding photos marketed to the hilt by various agencies, this wedding photo page suggests so many fun, unique scenes on wedding locations in Massachusetts.  Nice job, Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism!

Wright's Farm: All-You-Can-Eat Family-Style Chicken Dinners in Harrisville, R.I.

Image
Wright's Farm Restaurant in Harrisville, R.I., seats 1,200 people, employs more than 180 locals and serves approximately 14,000 lbs. of chicken to about 12,000 visitors each week. It's amazing they can fit all that into Rhode Island, the smallest state in the country. The 45,000 sq. ft. restaurant with six dining rooms specializes in family-style chicken dinners that include all-you-can eat chicken, rolls, salad with tasty Wright's Farm salad dressing, crispy fries and pasta shells with homemade marinara sauce. Everything is delicious and plentiful, but the real star of the show is the moist, fall-off-the-bone chicken -- slow-cooked, baked in whole, and then cut up when served. The deal is amazing: $12.75 for adults, $7.25 for kids 10 and under, at this writing.  You can also order steak, although that is not an all-you-can-eat item and not quite up to par with the chicken, although very good. Dessert includes traditional vanilla and chocolate ice cream roll and ice cre...

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...

Revisiting the Good Old Days at the Mug N' Muffin

Image
Article and Photo by Eric H. Back in the 1970s, the Mug 'N Muffin and Pewter Pot battled it out in Massachusetts for their revolutionary ideas of serving muffins and coffee in a colonial-type restaurant setting. Post-and-beam ceilings, wallpaper with a 1700s look and other colonial flourishes and furnishings in long, narrow, dimly-lit dining rooms made us wonder if George Washington would come back from the dead to order a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin. It never happened, although we did see former Boston Red Sox player and Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk order some muffins at the former Pewter Pot, Arlington, MA, location. All we know is that we are glad Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton didn't meet here to talk about their differences over a cup of coffee! I frequented the Pewter Pot more because of its proximity to our home in Arlington, but also have a special place in my heart for the Mug N' Muffin. The food was actually better there, and I don't recall the rest...
