It's National Egg Day!

Where are your favorite places in town to order eggs?

So today is National Egg Day. I know, you wreren't prepared. But that's fine, celebrate with an egg meal. And this year in North Andover, it has special meaning since people will now be allowed to have more chickens to lay more eggs. Back yard chickens are a newly popular way of going green.

Good Day Cafe? Discuss in the comments below.

A Pair of Local Brunches

Set aside some time to have brunch at a local restaurant.

Great list. Don't forget about Joe's Landing at the airport. (Watch plane and helicopters take off while you eat.) Also, Denny's. I know, I know, but Moons Over My Hammy can compete with any of these sandwiches. Come on, 7 slices of ham!   more ›
