SalemMassDining News: 

You can't beat Salem when it comes to variety of dining establishments. Two new cafés are opening in April 2010.

The Green Land Cafe is opening up Washington Street near city hall. From their web site they describe their restaurant as “A unique café…with a passion for food.” They will have natural raised beef, produce from small farms, handcrafted New England cheeses, artisan breads and fresh Gloucester day-boat fish. Sounds good, doesn't it?

The Coven Cafe is opening at 281 Essex Street in April. From what I hear, the owner is a great pastry chef and will bring to Salem some fantastic baked goods. They will also feature meals-to-go and more. I will add more info in the next day or so, so come back.

The Lyceum Bar & Grill is now open after some major renovations. It features a great new bar area and a great new menu. Make sure you check them out!

Sonoma, at 75 Congress Street is opened and looks very promising to be another hip place to eat like its predecessors at the same location - the infamous "Love Noodle" & "Red Raven" restaurants. They feature a small selection of worldly entrees, plus flatbread pizzas, tapas, soups, salads and an upscale pub menu (which is served until closing, full menu until 10pm). Open Tuesday through Saturday 5pm to midnight, and Sunday 4pm to 11pm. They also have one of my my favorite beers, Harpoon IPA at only $4 when every place in Salem seems to be pouring them at a buck higher. Put it on your must try list!

A new Japanese restaurant recently opened near Salem State College. Located at 335 Lafayette Street, Okea Grill & Sushi Restaurant features some very good food and great prices. They offer a full sushi and Tappan grill menu. The restaurant is receiving some great reviews on YELP.com. Don't forget about Salem's other great restaurants that also serve sushi - Asahi, Fresh Taste of Asia, and Bangkok Paradise.

Tavern in the Square is on the corner of New Derby and Washington Streets. It is one of the larger restaurants in Salem MA "focusing on great food & beverage, sports, entertainment, atmosphere and outstanding service" (their words from the web site). It opened with much fanfare and has been packed every night. It's a wonderful time to live in Salem with all the fantastic choices we have to dine!

Lynde Street Café just opened and gives downtown Salem workers another option for lunch & breakfast. They have all the standard breakfast fare, but a wide variety of choices for lunch including homemade soups & chowders (from scratch!). Along with the usual assortment of sandwiches and salads, they serve grilled salmon, pork chops, pasta, stuffed peppers, etc. They are located at 2 Lynde Street - right behind Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream on Washington Street.

A couple of other quick notes on NEW eateries: The Deli House at 48 Congress Street serves Pressed sandwiches, wraps, subs, salads and pizza. They also have specials daily.
New York Fried Chicken just opened in July 2009 and has chicken with very light coating fried in soy bean oil. They also have wings, shrimp, fish (whiting & tilapia!), burgers and sweet potato pies.
