OK so this is a restaurant and a fair trade store with stuff from around the world. I was in Istanbul Turkey at a great shop that re-purposed old prayer rugs, and they actually asked me if I knew of this place. Small world, 5 minutes from the bungalow. Food options are totally organic. Speakers and music in the restaurant. Check the schedule.

Another beautiful park with a path to the water. Also, just past the park and to the right, is Boston Harbor. A quaint little marina with excellent chowder that you can get from the general store and eat outside while taking in the local charm.

This is a great little laundromat which I have personally used when I need to wash my big comforters and sleeping bags. Close to where you are and very neat and clean with a postal substation next door. There is an attendant on duty so you can feel pretty safe that you can leave and come back. Have a drink next door at Iron Rabitt.
