The Chronis!!

After writing my blog about pizza today, I had to go out and order my favorite from Morelli's...the Chronis!! Loaded with toppings tonight! Delicious!! :)

Where to get pizza in Brewster

So I was thinking about restaurants in town and whether I should make those part of my blog, but I decided to stick with something I love...pizza! I could truly have pizza every night of the week and be happy!! I'm going to share with you my three favorite places to go in Brewster for pizza.

The first is called Morelli's Taverna on Underpass Road (http://www.morellistaverna.com/pizza.php). It is only a few buildings down from my school, which is very convenient!!

Morelli's used to be Ardeos, which was managed by Kathy Morelli. It had the most amazing Greek pizza which I always ordered. When they closed this year I was so sad because no place in town could make a pizza quite like it. I was thrilled when I heard Kathy was going to open her own restaurant, and wouldn't you know, her pizza is even better!! It is thin crust pizza and my favorite is The Chronis. Here's what's on it...House aioli, green peppers, red onions, feta, kalamata olives, diced tomatoes, spinach, pepperoncini, and mozzarella cheese. Truly delicious! Morelli's has a wonderful menu of Italian fare and definitely worth a stop. Pizza is served until midnight in July and August, too!!

The second is Brewster Pizza right on 6A in Foster Square ( http://brewsterpizzaandbrew.com/).

You are guaranteed to have a delicious, traditional pizza, calzone, or sub. My daughter only wants her cheese pizza from Brewster Pizza and it is the only place my other daughter can get the perfect white pizza!! My husband's favorite is the steak bomb. I enjoy their pepperoni. Basically, you can't go wrong with any of them. They offer delivery, too. There is a sports bar attached next door, as well.

The third is Laurino's Tavern and Restaurant on 6A (http://laurinostavern.com/).

Laurino's is a family style restaurant serving more Italian favorites. It is pretty well known for it's specialty pizzas. I have two favorites and generally order both! The first is shrimp scampi. It has olive oil, garlic, capers, roasted red peppers, shrimp, and cheddar cheeses. You won't find one like it around! The other is buffalo chicken which has grilled chicken breast, wing sauce and cheddar cheese, served with a side of bleu cheese dressing for dipping. I have to fight my husband for this one! The owner is our school cafeteria manager, Donna Drown (a little shout out!).

 

So, those are my three bests picks for pizza if you are visiting my little town of Brewster. Enjoy!!

Brewster General Store

When traveling through my little town of Brewster, one of the places you must stop is the Brewster General Store on route 6A. www.brewsterstore.com/

The building was built in 1852 as a church and was converted to a general store in 1866. It still has the charm of that time with the creaky wooden floors, nostalgic decorations, penny candy (my favorite), as well as kitchen gadgets, gifts, cards,toys, etc. You can even play the nickelodeon for a quarter!!

When we first moved to the Cape, my husband actually worked mornings at the general store. He loved how the old locals came in every morning for their pastries, coffee and the paper. They would sit in the middle of the store by the old coal stove on cold mornings and gab. On nice days they'd sit out front on the benches. You are sure to be be greeted with a friendly smile from someone sitting on those benches when you visit. (Or perhaps by a few little bunnies during Easter!).

The windows of the store are always dressed for the season. My husband even got to put up the infamous Christmas tree on the little roof of the porch for the holiday season! (There are certain decorations we Brewster folk expect to see at the store.)

 

Be sure to make a stop next door to the Brewster Scoop for homemade icecream. A perfect visit!

ECOMP 6019 Cape Cod Blog

July 11, 2013

So I was out for lunch with a friend today at Hole in One (http://theholecapecod.com/) and I mentioned how I have to start a blog. I was looking for suggestions for what I could blog about that would be fun, interesting, and easy to talk about. I didn't want to write an education blog because I will be reading many for this class. Wine? Certainly could be fun, but probably not the most appropriate choice! :) Beaches? How about Cape Cod? Hmm, good idea. I mentioned it to my daughter when I got home and her first thought was Cape Cod, too. So there we have it! I shall blog about the Cape, which has been my home since 1990.

My favorite part of the Cape would be the beautiful beaches. I prefer them during the off-season when they are not so busy. I live in Brewster, so the beaches that are available to me on my beach pass are the bay beaches off 6A. They are perfect for children because of the calm water and wonderful opportunities to explore the tidal flats at low tide. I took my children to Crosby Beach for years to swim in the shallow, calm, warmer water and to find hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, moonsnails, and to collect shells. This is the view of Crosby (just the other night!) as you walk from the parking lot. Simply gorgeous and soothing to the soul as soon as your feet touch the sand.

If you are looking to explore the bay beaches, or even the ponds in Brewster, I am attaching the link for the Chamber of Commerce's site of Brewster beaches. There is a map and it includes information on parking and fees.

Being a teacher in Brewster, I get to take my students to these lovely beaches for field trips! We are so lucky that they are right down the street. I know I take living here for granted and don't take advantage of all the Cape has to offer. I'm thinking this blog will be a chance for me to explore even more...to have my own little field trips, to appreciate the Cape's beauty a bit more and share it  with you.
