Winter Afternoon at the Marketplace

This is the time of year when it’s tempting to hibernate indoors and to avoid the cold and snow as much as possible. But eventually, there are errands to do and other reasons to venture out of the house. We know where you can go to enjoy a productive, relaxing day without driving all over town. The Butcher Boy Marketplace has everything you need for a day out. Give our sample itinerary a try:

First, get the obligations out of the way. If you have dry cleaning to pick up or drop off, head to Nature’s Cleaners. Pentucket Bank can fulfill your banking needs. Manage existing accounts, open a new one, or simply use the ATM.

Do you have family photos to frame? Check out the options at Art & Frame Source, Inc. that will inspire creativity.

When you’re ready for some pampering, drop in at Tran Tran Nails for a relaxing manicure or pedicure.

Hungry for a quick bite? Treat yourself to lunch or coffee at Perfecto’s Caffe.

You don’t have to overlook your four-legged family members. Ciao Bow Wow’s friendly staff is happy to share their expertise on feeding your pets or help you pick out a toy or treat.

If you are dreaming of a new kitchen, stop at Jackson Kitchen Designs for ideas of how you can remodel yours.

Talk of kitchens is sure to remind you it’s time to pick up some groceries. Look no further than Lobster Tail Seafoods restaurant and fish market for fresh seafood.

Count on Butcher Boy Market for everything else to prepare a delicious winter meal. If you love using your slow cooker like we do, let us help you select a chuck roast. How about some hearty chicken noodle or wedding soup? Our homemade tomato sausage, tomato & cheese sausage, or garlic & cheese sausage can help turn any drab day into a cozy comfort with a savory dinner. If you are still trying to stick to your New Year’s resolution to focus your diet on protein, our marinated beef tips or marinated chicken will be a flavorful topping to any salad. Don’t forget dessert! And you can also pick up your beer and wine without having to make another stop.

A busy afternoon at the shops will make you hungry, but if you’d rather not cook, bring your groceries to the car, where they will stay nice and chilled, and give yourself the evening off with a nice dinner at Orzo Trattoria.

So what are you doing tomorrow afternoon?
