This thread makes me think a return visit to the Peabody Essex Museum needs to happen soon! My husband and I also find ourselves at Turner’s if we want dinner after the PEM.
If it’s earlier in the day and we want a snack, we have popped by Karl’s Sausage Kitchen (Peabody) to grab a bite in the German cafe. The cafe is a small section of the store, so getting a table there can be hit or miss. (We also pack a cooler with ice so that we can pick up sausages for the freezer. Multitasking, you know.)
Within walking distance of the PEM, we’ve gone to the funky Gulu-Gulu cafe for lunch–check out the crepes–and a beer. A & J King Artisan Bakers for pastry and coffee.
