Linking some prior threads for specific south shore towns:

Dim Sum on the south shore: Quincy? [Boston area]

I noticed several chinatown spots are also in Quincy now - Winsor and China Pearl are the ones I recognized. Wondering if there are other (better) choices in the area given the demographics. Looking for weekday dim sum pre and/or post thanksgiving, but also to have in mind for some other weekend. Thanks!

Quincy dining

The Herald just ran a piece yesterday on the dining scene in Quincy, including mentions of the Quincy Food Truck festival, and Barbara Lynch’s new upscale casual Italian project: I am not near Quincy so I am there not nearly as often as I like. How do folks like the spots mentioned in the article?

Mothers Day dinner — Quincy / Milton down to Hingham

I’m thinking Le Madeline might be fun, but I’m not sure what my aunt will make of it (or Pho So). So I’m looking for some other choices to offer her. Doesn’t have to be fancy, but nice setting and delicious food would be a winning combination. Any ethnicity. Thank you!

Quincy / Braintree / Weymouth / Hingham [MA] lunch options sought

So, on a whim, I packed MrsJimbob and the fam down to World’s End Reservation in Hingham to tromp around and check out an unexpected English-looking park dropped on the South Shore coast. We loved it, and on the way back, I shopped to my heart’s content at Kam Man. But I’m thinking that the next time we go back, I need to plan out lunch. In this time of quarantine, we’d be looking for take-out. So: looking for a good seafood place. Ideally a seafood shack that doesn’t deep fry everything be…

Boston area eats Mothers’ Day weekend 2024: Gloucester, Rockport, Needham, Weymouth

A nice long weekend of wandering from the north shore around the west and finally to the south. Started in Gloucester at Tonno for a fabulous happy hour (on food, I was reminded it’s illegal in MA to discount booze ) — several rounds of $1 oysters, excellent grilled octopus, white anchovy pinxtos, tuna tartare tacos, and mussels. .

Hull and Hingham (South Shore)

Any recent recs, especially in Hull/Nantasket? @GretchenS, you’ve spoken in the past of Jake’s, Alma Nove and a bit about The Bloomy Rind. Are they still solid? We might make a trip to the area later in August, delta-variant willing. We’ll probably take a cooler of ham, salami, cheese, bread, etc., and an ample supply of wine, so we are looking mainly for dinner options. We may only want to do takeout, but if we do eat at a restaurant it will have to be one that serves outdoors.

Query re: Quincy Dim Sum

We’ve given up on the reopening of China Pearl in Boston and I read a rather scathing review of their Quincy outpost. We’re eager to explore good dim sum in Quincy and welcome your suggestions. Where should we go? What should we get? And finally, what’s up with China Pearl? We’re chicken feet and tripe kinda people. Thanks in advance!
