We started out today with some breakfast at
Cafe Avellino, a small cafe in the town of Swampscott.
We got the Spicy Turkey and Avocado Panini (shaved turkey, sliced avocado, muenster cheese, cranberry mayo),
the Spicy Spinach Omelette (egg, spinach, tomato and garlic, parmigiano),
and the Raspberry Bowtie and Raspberry Square.
The food itself was not too bad, although the desserts tasted weird at times.
Overall, nothing special.
After breakfast, we headed into the town of Salem, where the Halloween event of
Haunted Happenings was ongoing.
Not really into Halloween, so to me it was just another regular fair, nothing special.
We stopped by
Kushco Bistro, which we initially thought was more of a restaurant than the cafe it was.
We got the Portabella Mushroom Panini (portabella mushroom, swiss, caramelized onion, spring mix and dijon mustard),
the Baked Eggplant Panini (baked eggplant, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, tomatoes, spring mix, sundried tomato paste),
the Brownie Sundae (vanilla froyo with walnuts, strawberries, chocolate sprinkles and fudge)
and a Smoothie (apple juice, strawberries, pineapple).
The sandwiches tasted really weird because there were too many spices in them, but thankfully the drink and the dessert were not bad. Not recommending this place again though.
We also stopped by a Japanese restaurant nearby,
Koto Grill & Sushi, which was decorated for the festivities, and very dark inside.
Being very full from everything we had had, we just decided to go with the Yaki Soba (stir fried noodles with shrimp),
which was just so-so. Overall, nothing interesting on the menu, and not coming back again.
With that, we called it a day for checking out the Halloween festivities in Salem.
