I have been down with the sinus bug for 10 days and boy was it good to feel like going to a restaurant this past weekend. Food actually tastes like something again. Okay, I know this is supposed to be all about Fall River, but I must tell you this place we are visiting tonight is [...]

So, while waiting for the red light to change at the corner of Pleasant and Plymouth Saturday, I had time to take in all the fast foodie joints along the way. The sea gulls must love Plymouth Ave. The top of the Avenue starts off with KFC, Boston Market, D’Angelos (no photo as a [...]

So maybe we aren’t rising at 4 a.m. and going to plow the North 40 with a mule. And maybe we don’t need to fortify ourselves with pancakes and eggs and a pile of meat and potatoes for breakfast. I have probably watched the Amish with Harrison Ford in Witness once too often- but breakfast [...]
Just Over the Brightman Bridge
Posted in Abundanza!, Across the Brightman Bridge, Family Style Haunts, Gimme Meat and Potatoes!, tagged Italian Style, Magoni's on August 10, 2008 | 5 Comments »
While technically not in Fall River, Magoni’s is literally a stone’s throw from the end of the Brightman Bridge which connects Fall River to Somerset (better check to see if the bridge is open this week- it’s always an iffy thing).

Tootling down Second Street, take a left onto Rodman just past St. Mary’s Church to find a slice of heaven at Terra Nostra’s American-Portuguese family restaurant. And they mean it about family. The portions are generous (you will be bringing home a styrofoam container full of leftovers enough for a midnight snack), and the price is right. [...]

Roger’s Coney Island at North Main and Brightman
Yes, it is probably a little cheeky of a non-local to presume to know all about the great little out-of-the-way eateries around the city. It has taken a good many years of sleuthing around on my own or annoying locals who are “In the Know” about Fall River’s top [...]
