Which south shore town has your favorite Farmers Market?

One of our favorite ways to spend a summer weekend day is to get up early, go for a bike ride, grab a coffee and then hit one of the great Farmers Markets in Braintree, Hingham, Weymouth, Quincy or other Boston south shore towns.  Each market offers unique local vendors and you can buy great quality products while supporting local businesses.  I always leave a Farmers Market satisfied that I helped my community while buying fresh vegetables, fruits, plants or seafood that I normally would buy at a large chain.

What are your favorite “All American” restaurants on the South Shore?

I use Open Table occasionally to make restaurant reservations and received an email from them titled, "Voted Top 10 American Restaurants" in honor of the Fourth of July.  The restaurants listed are all great restaurants, Meritage in Boston, Simon Pearce in Vermont, among other very good high end eateries.  The list, though, was not what I was expecting.

However, when I think about "All American" Restaurants, none of these 10 came to my mind, especially around July 4th. I was thinking of the locally owned places where I sometimes go to breakfast or lunch like Kristin's or Ashley's Breakfast in Braintree, Smiths or Stanney's in Holbrook, Jimmy's Broad Street Diner in Weymouth, or McKays in Quincy.  Dinner spots like The Snug in Hingham, Denley's Gardens in Weymouth, Spazios in Braintree, or Grumpy Whites in Quincy.  When I think about American Restaurants, I think about hometown places in our communities that are independently owned and operated. Places where the owner is working the front door or in the kitchen; where you're greeted as family when you walk in, even if it is your first time there. I think of places where I can have a good honest meal for an honest dollar made and served by hard working local folks.


Jimmy's Broad Street Diner in Weymouth

I have frequented all of these places, as well as many others just like them on the south shore (sorry for the omissions), and can say I felt great about spending my money there.  I never felt cheated like I might at a chain or a more pretentious high end eatery. I certainly never left hungry!!  Locally owned and operated businesses are what makes America great. They are what makes setting up home in communities like Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham and others on the south shore so special.  So, with all due respect to Open Table, I'll choose my local south shore restaurant on the Fourth of July or any other day!
