It's a festive time of year with so many Shoreline towns ushering in the holidays with tree lightings, parades or a candlelight walk. Bicycle decorating? Love it!
Westbrook tree lighting committee offered a bicycle decorating contest at the firehouse for children ages one to eight and eleven to adult on Sunday, December 2. Decorated bikes are judged and join the parade at the firehouse to the Town Green. Following the parade were crafts, singing, refreshments and free carriage rides and of course a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. After the festivities where do you eat in Westbrook?
Westbrook is one of those small Shoreline towns that is still a bit of a secret. It's home to the "Singing Bridge",
Bill's,
Westbrook Outlet Mall and one of the largest marinas in the Northeast -
Brewer Pilots Point Marina. It's also home to one of my favorite eateries -
Brickhouse Pizza. Brickhouse Pizza's name is deceiving and is so much more than a pizza place.
Brickhouse Pizzeria was founded in 2009 and is a huge supporter of local farms and suppliers, using organic produce seasonal fruits and vegetables. Processed ingredients, unnecessary sugar and corn syrup are kept to an absolute minimum (that alone gets my vote).
The owner is passionate about food and it's preparation and loves to hear feedback on the different dishes.
Appetizers include Crispy Wings, a Bruschetta of the Day, Mussels & Frites, Herbed Goat Cheese Dumplings and their dinners offer some of my favorites dishes - Shrimp Puttanesca and Linguine Bolognese. Not into an appetizer or a dinner? You can build your own pie or order one of the house specials - Shrimp, Basil Pesto, Sliced Tomato or my usual Pecan-Rubbed Duck, Sliced Mango! We won't forget about Chris's Calzones which are perfect if your entertaining a crowd over the holidays!
Working in Westbrook, it is a frequent stop for lunch or dinner!
