free candy and witches

our first stop was to Bob's discount furniture to pretend to look for a new couch. in this furniture store they give out complimentary candy of all kinds including: bob's individualy wrapped gummy bears, sour patch kids, carmels and many other great assorted novelties. along with free candy is FREE ice cream, popcorn and
cookies to help you shop for discount furniture. you can also play complimentary video games or watch a great family film all in the comfort of yes folks a furniture store. other stores offer free air hockey and mini golf, we always go for the free candy and cookies, they are freshly baked, moist and crumbly. fresh popcorn is popped every day and served in old fashion buckets in an old fashion lamp heated display. free ice cream and frozen yogurt go great as well as the notice on candies that contain nuts!



for dinner we went to Salem Beer Works, a great institution.

seasonal blueberry beer is brewed right on the premise with fresh blueberries to float your beer belly away, great with any of the many delicious dishes they serve, and if you get one of their delightful dinners it is served atop of mashed potatoes a fresh potatoe chip the size of a 11 X9 1/2 sheet of computer paper and thin as one too.

in the large seating area which is dark and brick filled to allow for the circulation of conversations of locals saying "go red sox in december and go bruins" is a giant 30 X40 green neon witch to symbolize Salem the witch city where hundreds of years ago crazy bored children accused innocent town folk of witch craft and will be forever known as the witch city. one of their burgers, the witch city red is served with caralized onions and swiss cheese atop about a 1inch think patty of sirloin and ground beef.

we ordered the usual and yummy finger foood. a large order of buffalo wings, half wings half boneless. i prefer the boneless because you get more meat and don't have to get your finger nails gross and your lips don't burn as much because you can cut them and insert them directly in your mouth versus getting the buffalo sauce all over your lips and fingers and having the burning sensation for hours. but the pro to bone in wings is more flavor but they are extremely accomidating to allow for a half order of both. to accomany the wings and fingers was a side order of sweet potatoe french fries. i have never seen such a wide variety of french fries on any menu they include: fire fries which are hott and delicious and served with a cool dill ranch sauce and sour cream and onion fries YUM! the sweet potatoes are served with a rasberry malt vinger which really compliment the flavors of the sweet crunchy fries and balance the hott spices from the wings. the wings come with some tasty chunky blue cheese and celery sticks a classic combo.
