  365 things to do in Worcester County - Enjoy a hearty lunch at Il Ricordi in Fitchburg.  I spent the entire morning discussing marketing and selling a home at 1100 Main St., in Leominster and finished the conversation with the owner at a wonderful italian restaurant, Il Ricordi in Fitchburg. 
As soon as I walked in, I realized that this is the place where the locals hang out.  The atmosphere is laid back and friendly and the conversation flows.  I enjoyed a wonderful sample of eggplant and veal parmigiana and angel hair pasta.  This dish came with a generous serving … (0 comments)

365 things to do in Worcester County - Celebrate Father's Day with family at Denny's in Worcester.  Wow, what a morning.  No wonder my dad does not like to go out and celebrate holidays on the holiday day.  It's crazy out there, who knew that there are so many fathers out there.  Ok, so this morning we went out to have a lovely breakfast together.  We made several stops to find that our favorite spots and restaurants we wanted to try, were so filled that the wait would have caused us to have lunch instead of breakfast.
So, we drove more … (0 comments)

365 Things to do in Worcester county - Eat unusual pizza at the Corner Grill in Worcester.    After rehearsals for "Hotel on Marvin Gardens", the whole cast went out for dinner.  We chose a small pizza place on Pleasant St., in Worcester called Corner Grill.  I've never been to The Corner Grill and since pizza is one of the "perfect foods" as I like to call it, I was excited to try it.  I refer to the "perfect food" as a food that is all encompassing, something you can eat on it's own, and something you can eat practically any time … (2 comments)

365 things to do in Worcester County -Enjoy Applebee's in Sturbridge.  When my daughter had 3 hours to "kill" between babysitting job and rehearsal practice, I offered to take her out for dinner.  We decided to venture out to Applebee's in Strurbridge.  Applebee's is a chain restaurant and we knew that the food would be good.  I think that we both can agree that the best part of the meal was the appetizer.  We ordered a spinach and artichoke dip (served hot) which comes with tortilla chips.  The food was fresh, hot, good and filling.
 

 
Applebee's had a … (0 comments)
