Since 1935

We had a nice dinner tonight with our niece Lauren and her beautiful wife Pierina. Happy couple celebrating their one-year anniversary!

After dinner Maureen and I drove to North Haven to have some ice cream at Friendly’s, an old time establishment that was once popular across many towns in New England. Friendly’s was established in 1935 in Springfield, Massachusetts and there are still 177 diner style restaurants in southern New England.

I had my typical coffee milkshake with a single scoop of chocolate, while Maureen had hard chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles on a sugar cone. While Mo’s cone was satisfying the milkshake was thin and lacked any real taste, which is odd since Friendly’s ice cream is a rich, creamy commercial brand.

Welcome to summer 2019!
