McDonald's may boast of "billions and billions served," but their recently-opened Endicott Street location is under-performing. The burger chain's managers tell Danvers …

The leaves on the trees are in prime condition. The deep reds, oranges, and yellows are a vibrant reminder that we have a few precious weeks of autumn before they are bare and grim. Local restaurants are savoring autumn by serving fall flavors in their drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. One local favorite, Jaime’s Restaurant on 25 High St., has created the ultimate fall concoction. The now famous Pumpkin Martini combines five elements to essentially epitomize autumn in a glass. They start with Van Gough Caramel Vodka, and next comes Smirnoff Vanilla flavored vodka. The key is a pumpkin spiced liqueur, from which the drink gets its name. A squirt of whipped cream and a cinnamon sugar rim around the glass complete this seasonal …
