Foodie Spotlight on Taste Gloucester.
Taste Gloucester is our first and one of our finest food tours. It started out early last summer and turned out to be a huge success! So what is Taste Gloucester all about?
Taste Gloucester is an incredible way to experience America’s oldest working seaport. Of course you have to take a whale watch (we recommend Cape Ann Whale Watch) and see the harbor, but after you see Gloucester by water its time to eat! Our tour meets up on top of Harbor Loop near downtown where we take in the beautiful sights from this grassy knoll that overlooks the working harbor front. From here we learn a bit about the early history of the city and then its off to eat!

Taste & Listen to All That Gloucester Has to Offer!
With its picture-perfect harbors, and long sandy beaches, Gloucester is one of Massachusetts’ many premiere summer destinations. From the Man at The Wheel to The Perfect Storm, Gloucester is known for its rich maritime history, scenic backdrops, a vibrant local arts scene, and as we’ll make note of today, good tunes and good eats!

Last Saturday, I was lucky enough to participate in the first ‘Taste Gloucester’ walking tour. The tour highlighted downtown restaurants and food shops, with a dash of history thrown in.
Patrick Halloran, a Gloucester native who now serves as a fireman in Somerville, served as our tour guide. He graduated GHS in 2002 and his love for Gloucester was apparent as he proudly told us various tales from Gloucester’s history. Patrick himself was a highlight of the tour, with his friendly personality, sense of humor and depth of knowledge.

North Shore Nosh
The Taste Gloucester Tour serves up local flavors
What you don’t know about Gloucester: she’s sent 10,000 men into the Atlantic, never to return.
What you do know about Gloucester: she’s also given us the Gorton’s Fisherman.
The frozen fish company was founded in the historic North Shore seaport town in 1849. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s over half-a-century before the Red Sox first played ball.
Don’t expect to find any frozen food on the Taste Gloucester Tour, a mouth-watering walk through the hamlet by the sea that highlights cuisine from six local vendors.
