North Shore Beef


The roast beef "3-way"—a messy, beautiful, artery-clogging masterpiece born, as local legend goes, out of a catering mishap at a Revere Beach hot dog stand in 1951. Kelly’s Roast Beef may have put it on the map, but the sandwich has since transcended its humble, accidental origins to become the North Shore’s unofficial culinary flag. For the uninitiated, the "3-way" is the baseline: thin-sliced, pink roast beef on a toasted bun, blanketed in a trifecta of American cheese, mayonnaise, and that sweet, tangy nectar of the gods—James River BBQ sauce. But don’t dare call it a simple sandwich. These days, the game is evolving. You’ll hear whispers at the counter about "4-ways" and "5-ways," where devotees add onion rings (the crunch factor) or a dash of horseradish sauce to the mix. Some shops are even getting fancy, like Jamie’s Roast Beef in Peabody, where they’ve pushed the envelope with creations like the "Full Send," featuring truffle aioli and taleggio cheese. It’s a bold departure, but one that has helped earn them a cult following and even a "Beef Madness" championship trophy. Also, there is Modern Butcher in Danvers, where they sell their respected roast beef sandwiches only on Saturdays, until they sell out of beef.

The mall is dead. MarketStreet in Lynnfield never got the memo

Image
There's a moment, usually about ten minutes after you arrive at MarketStreet in Lynnfield, when you stop thinking about what you came to buy and start wondering if you can just live here. The fire pits are going. A kid is losing her mind over a life-sized frog sculpture on the Village Green. Someone's dog is getting water from one of the hydration stations along the main drag. And the smell drifting from Davio's is doing things to your decision-making. This is not a mall. MarketStreet is a 694,000-square-foot open-air "main street" development sitting right off Route 128 in Lynnfield, built on the former site of the Colonial Country Club — which, for those keeping score, traded one kind of leisure for another. Designed by National Development and WS Development to function as a genuine community hub, it is the anti-mall: pedestrian-friendly, airy, and built around the radical idea that people might want to actually linger somewhere after they shop. "MarketStr...

No car? No problem. Nahant's secret beaches are worth the ride

Image
There's a little peninsula dangling off the coast of Lynn, Massachusetts that most of greater Boston has somehow never heard of — and the locals who live there would probably like to keep it that way. Nahant is a tiny, wind-swept jewel of a town with five free public beaches, zero lifeguards, and a parking situation so aggressively resident-only that it may as well post a sign reading: go away, tourists.  But here's the thing: if you can figure out how to get there without a car, you're rewarded with some of the cleanest, most gorgeous shoreline in New England — without the elbow-to-elbow chaos of, say, Revere Beach. "The water off Nahant is clean, clear, and blissfully free of the seaweed tangles that plague nearby Long Beach." That's the dirty secret of the North Shore. Long Beach — the wide, sandy stretch along the causeway linking Lynn to Nahant — is managed by the state's DCR and technically your best bet for public parking ($10 a pop). It's a fin...
