Thanks to the vision of "Chubby" and Bessie Woodman, the North Shore is home to the first and best damn fried clams in the world! Not only do their lunch and dinner menus satiate with clam chowder, fresh lobster, and steamed clams, but their clambakes, barbecues, catering services, and online seafood for purchase make local news time and again. 121 Main Street, Essex, 01929, 978-768- 6057, woodmans.com. $$ STEAKS L'ANDANA GRILL L'Andana Grill is nothing if not upscale. Evoking the spirit of a true trattoria, chef Jamie Mammano features wood-grilled cuisine and homemade pastas like those found in the foothills of Tuscany. Elegant décor includes end-grain wood floors, weathered barn board, and Italian mosaics. Warmer months find guests enjoying alfresco dining on the plant- rich patio, which is also available for parties and events. 86 Cambridge Street, Burlington, 01803, 781-270-0100, landanagrill.com. $$$ THE LOFT RESTAURANT Chops and tots in a 160-year-old barn— what's more New England than that? Exposed posts and beams are the backdrop for old-fashioned dishes like pot roast, chicken pot pie, and roast prime rib of beef. Such meals are what fortified farmers of times ago, and partaking of a hearty helping today is something akin to time travel. A warm, wood-rich atmos- phere, comfort foods, and merry meads make for a satisfying dining experience, with something of a historical flavor. 1140 Osgood Street, North Andover, 01845, 978-686-0026, loft-steakandchophouse. com. $$ Treat Yourself to a memorable experience.
