When I order take out, I've been trying to order strictly from local restaurants and to tip handsomely. This pandemic is heartbreaking for so many reasons. But it will be even more devastating if when this is finally all behind us, we can't eat at our favorite local restaurants because they weren't able to stay afloat.

When I saw that Patty B's in Dover is opening up for curbside pickup from 1-7pm Monday through Saturday, I let out a shriek of pure joy! Patty B's has been described as a piece of Boston's North End transplanted here on the Seacoast. Everything from their wine selection, to their homemade pastas to their decadent desserts, Patty B's is Italian cuisine at its finest.
