Thanks for brightening our mornings, Glazy Susan!

Cindy Lou Who: “I know he's mean and hairy and smelly, and his hands are cold and clammy, but I think he's kinda... SWEET.” 🍩 …just like this masterpiece of a donut from Jumbo Donuts! The Grinch specialty donut was loaded with Boston cream and topped with artfully decorated frosting.

Jumbo Donuts specialty donuts are available on weekends with designs that rotate each day. Scroll their feed to see all their amazing seasonal themed treats. We waited a year to snag the elusive Grinch donut after first seeing it last year and it was definitely worth the wait!

Snagged a sunrise session with LightRunner from Medusa Brewing Company. 🌅 The can says, “Run to the light, friends”, so we did! The ocean got in the way though. 😂 Stay tuned to see the other Central Mass beer we brought with us to Maine this year in our series! 🍻🏖

Swipe to see the beer cracked open ➡️ This New England IPA is super hazy with tropical fruit flavor. And the bright pink can redesign is a vibe! 🌴🌺

Pizza Friday! 🍕Auntie Dot’s is a Worcester hidden gem! Located on Grafton Street, it’s only open 5-9pm on Thurs/Fri/Sat, but do yourself a favor and give it a whirl. Thick crust. Light and fluffy in the middle, crispy on bottom. Don’t order a medium like us (unless you prefer round), spring for the large and get a rectangular sheet of the ‘za!

When your ice cream is loaded with this much caramel, M&Ms, Oreos and malted milk balls, who cares about the shape of the scoop? 🤩🍨

This right here is the Macho Man Sandwich from Table Twelve kitchen + bar in . If Randy Savage were to have eaten this sandwich, he’d no doubt give it a resounding, “Oooh yeah”! 😎

Giant crispy fried chicken 🍗 spicy buffalo sauce 🥵 thick, crispy bacon 🥓 lettuce 🥬 tomato 🍅 and blue cheese dressing 🧀 on a grilled bulkie roll 🍞 with a side of fries 🍟

Last summer, we rescued some Central Mass beer from their mundane fridge-life to show them a good time in coastal southern Maine. If you missed it, or for a refresher, peep this hashtag: ! 🍺🏖

Well we’re doing it again this year, but this time we’re featuring four different breweries. Follow along over the next couple weeks as we pack up these cold-ones for the ride up north and schlep them along to see the summery sights! 🌊😎

We’re planning on catching a saltwater sunrise with these brew-filled aluminum cans! 🌅 Holding on to the last few weeks of summer while we still can! Here are the beers we’ll be featuring:

Oakholm Brewing Company Slate Roof (Brookfield)
Seven Saws Brewing Flume (Holden)
Bay State Brewing Co. Kelly² (Worcester)
Medusa Brewing Company Light Runner (Hudson)

(Completely unplanned but the Medusa can was a perfect match to our brand new cooler) 🌺

Comment with any of your favorite local beach beers!

Top taste of summer right here! Pick your own blueberries 🫐 from Berries and Blooms in Holden. Big, plump, super fresh. Fun activity for kids, but they will eat them all if you don’t hide them in your fridge later!

Hours: 8am-1pm, closed Tues & Wed
Bring cash 💵
Raspberries too!

Beat the heat 🥵 with some ice cream!🍦But eat it fast before it melts! 🫠

Giant scoops, homemade waffle cones, lake views. Must be Madulka's Ice Cream in Worcester!
