Those Hot Honey Wings :: Retail Therapy Guide 7/14/2023

Clearly, last week's newsletter jinxed the weather as we basked in the sun and light showers, only to be drowned by Sunday's storm, reading about the road and train closures the next day. Hoping you did not sustain too much damage this round and were safe. In better news, Mr. V's Deli is staying open! Read all about it here. Another Beacon local has signed back on as a member sponsor of ALBB's Restaurant Guide! Jon Lombardi of Carter's Restaurant (named after his youngest son). Jon is always changing the menu to keep if fresh for you. His experience at the Culinary Institute has blessed us with very good food. Watch out for the new hashtag coming from them for their new hashtag #cartershothoneywings. Try them and tell us how they are!                                       THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Book an Event Promotion Advertising spot here.

BEACON BOI  Long Dock Park - down by the river A Beacon Local Original, Paul Yeaple, opened a food truck at Long Dock Park!

After selling Poppy's, Paul opened a food truck, and now, has arrived at Long Dock Park with his shiny new hot dog stand! Right now on the menu, there are "Just Hot Dogs $5 and Cold Ass Drinks $2" Very simple, but watch out for the hot sauce he may seduce you with, after he loads your dog with mustard and sauerkraut.
