Food - Pieces of Ate III

We could eat these gloriously flavorful vegetable samosas, um, forever! Stuffed with potatoes, peas, raisins and rich Indian-inspired seasonings, they're then fried to a crispy gorgeousness, and served with a cilantro, mint and garlic dipping sauce. Sublime!

$12 for a pair of them at Sweet Plantains on Fridays and Saturdays (their Indo-Caribbean nights)

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, we bring you the Candela, a very very minty concoction. Looks scary, tastes delicious! If you don't like really sweet cocktails, try this. It's tart, sweet-ish, and earthy at the same time (better tried than described) and tastes something like a frozen mint margarita (but with Grey Goose). Passion fruit juice is the secret ingredient!

$12 at Morgan's Mango, open 7 days a week.

Oh, how comforting is a bowl of new England clam chowder? The Lime Inn's version is our favorite; it's thick with tons of clams, chunks of potato, a little bit of bacon, and oyster crackers to toss on top. If you're ever having a tough day, sit on the shady deck, grab a carafe of swamp water and unwind. That's what we do.

$6 for a bowl, $5 for a cup at The Lime Inn, for lunch Monday-Friday and dinner Monday-Saturday.
