My husband and I came in on a Sunday when brunch was still being served. I ordered an espresso martini and he got a bloody mary. We both felt like there was alcohol missing from our drinks. Then we ordered lunch: turkey club for me and smash burger for him. My turkey club was missing the avocado the menu stated it came with. On the flip-side, it was overloaded with mayo! And I like mayo, sometimes I even like a lot of mayo, but this was TOO MUCH even for me. But I did enjoy the fries that came with the sandwich and ate them all! My husband's smash burger did not look "smashed" at all but he said it was good and he liked it. We shared a chocolate chip cookie skillet for dessert that had a suspicious amount of whip cream on top, like it was hiding something but it tasted fine. I don't think we are impressed enough to want to come back but I would still recommend checking it out and deciding for yourself ;)

Imagine, if you will, a light saber. Now shrink it, focus it, and make it a precision handheld device. Congratulations - in your mind's eye, you're now wielding a plasma cutter, which is a real tool you can learn to use and put to effective metal-working use after a workshop here - I did just that during a Weekend Welding Workshop and it was tough to wipe the grin off my face for quite a long time. While that might make for some of the coolest visual imagery to describe, the fact that metal grinders, MiG welders, age-old anvils, fine-gauge jewelry-making tools, ceramic works, and myriad other tools of the trade are waiting to be discovered and shared here is a great impetus to get people excited about the art and science of metal-working. The Yard recognized that and has worked hard over the years to forge the foundation, expand the awareness base, and reach out to the community - all experience levels, age ranges, and walks of life. The events here are a super draw for my family and me. The Halloween Iron Pour. The Ultimate Chef competition. The Steel Yard Cruise Night Car Show. I hear there have also been weddings here...which goes to show you don't need to be actively working metal to enjoy the Yard. That said, seeing some of the custom-chopped and augmented vehicles done on-site doesn't hurt one's appetite to grab some leathers and a visor, and get working. I received a request for donation to the Yard's efforts at the end of 2012 that moved to me action in a way that words hadn't called me to in some time. That was refreshing and invigorating; it was merely (at its essence) a request for support. And support we should. The Steel Yard is an anchor helping to revitalize an area of the city that needs it with its facility location; revitalizing a city that can use those services with its good public works, as with its creation of beautiful and utilitarian benches, garbage cans, and bike racks seen around town; revitalizing people's skill sets by providing constructive classes in a variety of disciplines at fair tuition costs, for multiple age groups; and mostly, revitalizing metal-working as a discipline that is useful, positive, artistic, and tending away from defunct and back toward common. For all of that, The Steel Yard deserves our support in keeping alive The Spark. Get involved and be about it - highest recommendation.

Plimoth Patuxent Museums is a living history museum in Plymouth that operates at a level of…read moreimmersion and historical depth that distinguishes it from most comparable sites in New England. We spent a full day on the main campus, which encompasses the reconstructed English colonial village, the Wampanoag homesite, a wooden fort overlooking the bay, and access to the Mayflower II and the Grist Mill. The combination of those components made it a full day visit rather than a quick stop. The historical interpreters are the defining element of the experience. In the English colonial village, the actors remained in character throughout, speaking as 17th century colonists and engaging with us from within that perspective without breaking the illusion. The knowledge they brought to those interactions was thorough enough that specific questions about individual historical figures, including ancestors who came over on the Mayflower, could often be addressed in detail. The Wampanoag homesite operates differently, with Native staff who speak as themselves and share the history and culture of the Wampanoag people from their own perspective rather than through historical character. That distinction is meaningful and gave the site a dual narrative. The canoe making demonstrations and the depth of knowledge the staff brought to those conversations were highlights of that section. For a living history experience that handles multiple perspectives with care and depth, Plimoth Patuxent Museums is one of the more rewarding historical sites in the region and well worth the time commitment.

As long as you have the right mindset and think of this as a trio of museums-- the main grounds on…read moreWarren Avenue (formerly "Plymouth Plantation"), the Mayflower II on the waterfront, and the Grist Mill further inland, it can be a fun, educational and step-count-padding experience. But each one unto itself can be as underwhelming as Plymouth Rock is small (and underwhelming)-- and I came in with high expectations based on fond memories from youth. -- Pilgrim Village and Wampanoag Huts: Impressive structures, but mostly empty, with very sparse allocation of costumed human actors and no scheduled presentations. It's sort of the historical/museum equivalent of going to see a comedian who doesn't have an actual set, but relies exclusively on crowd work. The actors, when you can find them, do a nice job, and some are quite knowledgable-- but the onus is on the paying visitors to ask questions, so go in ready to do your own crowd work. They all stay in character, so you can't really ask about them in the third person or refer to things later than outside their 1627 setting. Interestingly, there's at least twice as many gift shop employees as costumed actors. Parking is plentiful. A 2.5-mile ride to the two other attractions. -- Grist Mill: A more relaxed look and an actual presentation, both upstairs where the corn is ground and downstairs looking at the machinery. Another gift shop. Limited parking. Walkable to/from the Mayflower II. -- Mayflower II: A 1950s replica of the original Mayflower, sent to the US as a gift from England. Fun to look around, but limited staff and no real presentation. It's up to you to ask questions. No parking specifically dedicated to this attraction; you gotta park on the main streets. Walkable to/from the Grist Mill. This can be an enjoyable experience if you come prepared with things you want to ask and understand the mostly-self-guided aspect. If not, it can be tiring, boring, and awkward.

It's 45 minutes from my house but seemed worth the trip. Reconfirmed twice a few days before and got a reply within minutes, with the address of course. Seemed simple enough. Saturday morning, I texted to say I'd be a few minutes late. No reply. Then I called. No answer. I kept driving, was actually right on time. BUT BUT BUT the shop is IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. NO STREET SIGN. HUGE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WITH ZERO SIGNAGE. called and texted several times. NO RESPONSE!! Kept driving around the maze of industrial buildings with ZERO SIGNAGE - NO BUILDING NUMBERS!!! Called & texted a dozen times. Zero response. After digging through old yelps I found the office #. Called. No answer. Called a neighboring business that had the owner's number!! Called, he DID answer. But by that time, he had already left !!! He too was shocked that his secretary made such a messed up appointment, not answering his calls either wondering where I was !! He and I were both baffled why she not only did not answer her phone on the day of the appointment she made, she did not have the common sense to give her boss or me each others #'s!!!! How could an assistant make an appointment with out any common sense??? How could she possibly think a total stranger could find their space in a huge industrial maze with zero signage, then NOT be available to assist on the day of the appointment AND not think to give her boss AND the customer each other's numbers so at least we could figure out how to connect??!!! What might have been a great prospect for both the business, and for me, was a fiery crash & burn nightmare... all because the appointment setter dropped the ball defying all common sense.
