"Inman Square’s popular Trina’s Starlite Lounge, a restaurant and bar with a retro vibe and plenty of hot dogs, cocktails, and fried chicken, expanded to the North Shore this winter (chef Suzi Maitland lives in Amesbury, and co-owner Beau Sturm and his wife Trina live nearby in Newbury.) The team is also behind the Paddle Inn in Newburyport, Parlor Sports in Somerville (next to the original Trina’s), and Audubon in Boston." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
