There are only a few things I like about Hull, and this place is going to be one of them…read more When I can find something that I've been searching for, it completes a day. Here, I finally found my favorite frozen snack, Dippin' Dots, that are unavailable nearly every other place on Earth (they used to be so much more popular). I wish they were still available at more ice cream places, but this place was automatically a favorite of mine for just having those. With that, they have large varieties of Hershey's ice cream and Richie's Italian Ice. The interior of the shop is not huge but has a few tables both in and outside. Interior is well designed and lots of advertising on the street makes this place seem like an "up and coming" ice cream spot. Decent sized parking lot on the side of the building. Service was friendly. Portions were decent and prices seemed reasonable, maybe a little more than they should have been (this is Hull we are talking about), but overall decent. I would highly suggest this place for ice cream in Hull, especially Dippin' Dots. More variety, better prices, more seating and far less lines than any of the walk up ice cream windows further down on Nantasket Ave. It's a no-brainer, come here! 5 stars.

Stopped by last weekend after seeing they have the viral Swedish sour gummy candies and was not…read moredisappointed! This shop is small but it has everything you need. We were interested in the pick-your-own bags and we got a hefty amount of sour candies. We paid $28 for over a pound, which is way cheaper than the prices we were seeing online. The people who work there are also super friendly and helpful. I've tried the gummy candies from the store in Brooklyn and these ones are much better, way more fresh and soft. This store happens to be right across from Nantasket beach, so we will be back next time to enjoy the candy sitting on the beach!!

The store is conveniently located on Nantasket Ave. The shop is adorable in terms of decor as…read moreeverything is painted in after dinner mint colors and there is a whimsical jewel-toned chandelier. The owner, Maria, is lovely! The store has a wide array of homemade treats: fine handmade chocolates made from premium European chocolate, homemade Swedish fish, imported candies, homemade fudge and orders can be placed for cakes. I recently bought 3 boxes of chocolate candies for holiday presents. The chocolates are not inexpensive but she uses clean ingredients like cane sugar versus fructose syrup, no artificial flavors or colors and high quality chocolate. I would rather buy a smaller box of high quality chocolate than a big box of bulk made chocolates with artificial flavors, colors, cheap ingredients, fillers and preservatives. Maria also sent me a very kind thank you note for my order! I live on the South Shore and feel grateful there are incredible small businesses like this to support that make an exceptional product and are appreciative of my business. Maria was such a pleasant, friendly person that it felt great to support her business in my modest way.

On Christmas Eve, (La Vigilia), many Italian families celebrate the "Feast of the Seven Fishes"…read more The custom is to serve seven different seafood dishes, each one representing one of the seven sacraments. At least that's the version of the story we've always gone by. The usual menu (since I was a tiny tot) has always included: pasta with lobster, baked stuffed shrimp, bacala (salt cod) salad, another bacala dish; this one with a marinara sauce, pan-fried smelts, clams one way or another; often casino-style, calamari, and then whatever else suits us that year to total at least seven dishes. While I didn't appreciate aspects of this meal when I was a kid (read: any bacala dish), it's now probably my favorite holiday feast bar none with any and all bacala included. While I usually get my fish at Rockyneck no matter what time of year, the day or two leading up to Christmas Eve is when we've got to buckle down. The crowd is coming. Rockyneck doesn't steer us wrong. It's actually inside the Hingham Fruit Center, a store I love and which I've reviewed separately. It consists of one large seafood counter within the larger grocery store and is its own business. I'm generally impressed with the freshness, quality and taste of the seafood they carry. The look of the fish is always pristine and I never hesitate over any of their offerings. The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful and will do their best to get you the very best of what you need when you need it. Christmas Eve notwithstanding, this place is a conveniently located little gem.

First of all, it's right off Jerusalem Road in Cohasset which is only like the most beautiful street in the world. Never been? Do yourself a favor and get in your car now and take a drive! Anyway, back to the farm. They have a few horses and chickens and goats, oh my. They have lots and lots of walking/hiking trails and you can bring your dog (though I shouldn't have mentioned that because now I've given away one of my secrets of places where you can take your dog that not everyone knows about). It's a functional vegetable farm and you can stroll through the grounds and see everything growing (when in season). You can also purchase all kinds of fresh produce here like lettuce, spring onions, heirloom tomatoes (and heirloom tomato seeds and/or plants as Emily mentioned) etc. More often than not, no one is there and you just take what you want and leave your $, a la the honor system. This is the kind of place that makes you forget you're only like 20 miles from a major city and really, where else can you find a farm that is across the street from the Atlantic ocean?

One of my colleagues surprised me with a box of the sea salt caramels recently and I wrote him an email that read like this: "Mother of God. These chocolates are amazing. Thank you so much...I want to hate you for introducing me to these, but they are so good, I can't." That pretty much sums it up. I don't even want to try anything else because I'm not sure that it can get any better than those sea salt caramels. They are little pieces of confectionery heaven and I'd go to church if they were served for communion.
