Since Boston has turned into the Fortress of Solitude, I have been dreaming of summer, and all that comes with it. I know that Woodman's is open all year round, but fried clams and lobster at a picnic table, even if it is inside, screams of summer to me.

Woodman's is a seafood restaurant that has been serving New England for over 90 years. Their claim to fame is the invention of the fried clam, and they make them extremely tasty.

Last year at the beginning of the season Lou and I were lucky enough to get a FREE Woodman's meal. We have a LandRover and the dealership we bought it from did a road rally that ended at Woodman's with clam chowder, fried clams and lobster for all.

It was a great way to welcome in the warmer weather.

The first time I brought Lou to Woodman's, was about a year after we were married. He took one bite of a fried shrimp and gave me a look like, "Woman! You've been holding out!" Yes he does call me woman sometimes. It is usually very funny. I told him I had to make sure he was a keeper before I brought him to a favorite spot;) But seriously, I grew up in Jersey! He should have known about Woodman's!

If you have room for it, there is an ice cream window at the back of Woodman's and if you travel in extremely large groups, there is a tent in the back for catered events. Hint: Bring some bug spray, we had an especially buggie day the day we ate in the tent, as there are marshes behind the restaurant.

You don't have to wait until summer to enjoy this place, in fact maybe a visit will bring summer just a little bit closer into view..
