DININGGUIDE The Village Restaurant has expanded to include over 200 seats to accommo- date an ever-increasing group of fried clam enthusiasts. The secret? Their clams are dug right in Essex and Ipswich by local clammers—they don't get much fresher than that. Named one of the nation's finest seafood restaurants, The Village has perfected traditional New England cuisine with a contemporary flair. 55 Main Street, Essex, MA, 01929, 978- 768-6400, wedigclams.com. $$$ WOODMAN'S We all know it: Woodman's of Essex is straight-up awesome.
