Paddy's Irish Pub and The West Street Hotel, Bar Harbor, Maine

For our next trip we are sending you to Maine for a stay at the West Street Hotel and good eats at Paddy' Irish Pub & Restaurant. The locals in Bar Harbor may not be happy with the development on the water front but for the rest of us who want to visit Tom Walsh and the team at Opal Collection have brought a new classy flavor to Bar Harbor.

Most of the rooms at The West Street Hotel provide you with a beautiful view of the harbor and they also have a private roof top infinity pool, wow! When you walk out the door you will see Paddy's Irish Pub to the right, I love Irish Pubs and this is as good as you will find. They have plenty of seating along the front of the hotel if you like to dine outside near the water.

Normally I almost never recommend a restaurant in a hotel but this is different. We saw the food everytime we left the hotel and it did looked amazing so we had to check it out.

You can see the entrance to Paddy's Below:

Smoked Seafood Chowder, delicious.


Corned Beef so tender you could cut it with a fork.


Sweet mother of god! The Stout Burger, A pretzel hamburger.


Here are a few suggestions for things to do in Bar Harbor.

Take a sailing trip on the Margaret Todd.

Head over to Mount Desert Ice Cream for dessert.

For our next drive we would like you to experience some great Italian food at Pagliuca's in Boston. Yes, there are many options in the North End but this is one of our favorites. We have been to Pagliuca's dozens of times over the past 10 years and have also checked out a bunch of other restaurants in the area. Joe, Freddie and staff all do a great job serving up mouth watering food.

Captain Frosty's in Dennis, Massachusetts

Image
When we think of our favorite comfort foods there is mac and cheese, pizza, hamburgers, chowder, and meatloaf. Most of these we can make at home unless you're like us and prefer to have someone else make it for you. Anyway, there is one that is very difficult to prepare at home and that is fried seafood. You could buy one of those small fryers or set up a large commercial fryer in your kitchen but for most of us it is just better cooked by somebody else. With the smell of fried seafood permeating in our minds we took off on a recent warm day to Captain Frosty's on Cape Cod in Dennis, MA.

Searching For Heady Topper In Vermont

Image
This is another one for any beer lovers out there as we hunt for Heady Topper. Brewed by Alchemist, it is made in small batches and only available at the brewery, select retail stores and restaurants in Vermont. Supply definitely does not meet the demand and for that reason they frequently run out of stock. There are stories of people following their delivery trucks so they could be first in line to make sure not to miss out. Given that the beer is shipped only on certain days of the week that seemed like the best option if you arrive on the same day but our first stop didn't quite match. We were in Burlington and happened upon The Farmhouse Tap & Grill but their delivery day is Thursday and unfortunately they were out. This was a Wednesday and after checking the Alchemist website schedule finding that Prohibition Pig in Waterbury was on the list we were on our way. Before even sitting down I yelled out to the hostess, do you have Heady Topper? And luck was on my side bec
