Watch the NFL Playoffs at a sports bar in North Andover!
Brady, Belichick and the rest of our boys from Foxboro are at it again. Playoff time is back in New England and the kickoff is today at 4:30. The Patriots earned a week off and spent last weekend watching the Wildcard round of the playoffs. The Houston Texans will try to spoil the party down in Foxboro. Led by offensive stars Andre Johnson and Adrian Foster, Houston has enough firepower to upset New England. Most fans, however, are expecting the machine-like Patriots to advance into the AFC Championship game. Vegas has the Pats favored by nine and a half points. Last week we suggested some places to watch the Wildcard round. Here are just a sampling of places you can watch today’s games. The Atlanta Falcons host the Seattle Seahawks at 1pm…

As the season changes from autumn to winter, many restaurants and bars are no longer offering the sweet and delicious pumpkin flavored beers that we enjoy with cinnamon sugar rims. Instead of mourning the temporary loss of these brilliant brews, let’s celebrate the new seasonal beers that will surely warm up our winter. When it comes to food and beer, we at Patch are big proponents of going local. So here are some local restaurants that are serving local, seasonal beers. Jaime’s Restaurant, over on High Street, is offering a unique brew that will be new to many North Andover residents. Phantom Punch Winter Stout arrived at Jaime’s recently. It’s brewed by the Baxter Brewing Company in Lewiston, Maine. BevNET Magazine named Baxter Brewing …

For over 90 years, Tripoli Bakery has been a Merrimack Valley destination. Its Sicilian pizza, countless bakery goodies, and family vibe have been drawing customers for generations. Since opening up its doors in Lawrence, Tripoli has spread out to Salisbury Beach, Seabrook, New Hampshire, and now Route 114 in North Andover. “We’ve been open for a year and a half now,” said Arthur Lacerda, of the North Andover edition of Tripoli. The Tripoli experience begins with its unique pizza that many dub “beach style.” “It’s a Sicilian style pizza,” Lacerda clarified. “It’s a square pizza with white cheddar cheese and tomato sauce,” he continued. “All of the pizzas we sell are on a tray of 20 and they’re all square, Sicilian style.” The fresh, …

Thyme Japanese Cuisine in North Andover has been open for only eight months, but it has quickly found a home as one of the town’s favorite places to eat sushi. “Sushi and the Hibachi food are the most popular,” said Irene Li of Thyme. The sushi bar has a few items that you may not find at all Japanese restaurants. First of all the Ee-Dako, baby octopus, makes a great appetizer at only five dollars. Tako Su is another popular octopus dish that is marinated in a flavorful vinegar sauce. That dish costs only six dollars. Thyme offers many typical sushi dishes such as tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, but its unique choices set it apart. The Monk Fish Liver costs only seven dollars and will likely be a new experience for you. The Beef Tataki, …

Since 1919 we have been celebrating Veterans Day. It was President Woodrow Wilson who first introduced Armistice Day in honor of our military. In 1954, Congress helped to rename the holiday “Veterans Day,” and ever since, we have used this title to hold parades, give thanks, and honor the men and women who have served in the United States military. North Andover will be holding its Veterans Day Parade today beginning at 9:30am at the First & Main Plaza. It will stop at the Patriots Memorial Park for service before heading towards the VFW on Main Street where a flag will be raised. A few local restaurants are offering deals to current and former military members. Stop by the Ninety Nine or wait until tomorrow to visit Denny’s or Friendly’s…

Jimmy’s Famous Pizza has been a favorite in North Andover for decades. Just head on over to their Facebook page and you’ll see that on Friday night, it was impossible to even get a seat. “I need more seating in here!” joked Nick Papantonakis, partial owner of Jimmy’s. “We seat 60 people and people were waiting outside for half an hour just to get a seat, it’s amazing,” he said. Perhaps the new menu items have something to do with the surge of business. “We started making our own authentic gyro,” Papantonakis explained. “We started making our own instead of getting the processed, frozen stuff that everyone else has.” This led to the introduction of the Olympic Pizza. “Instead of red pizza sauce we use the white tzatziki sauce, which comes …
