Fried Clams & Coastal Brews

A driving tour of Essex County's clam shacks, brewery, and cidery

You learn more about a city from what it eats than from what it builds. Essex has fed a lot of people. Five stops over 46.9 miles, about two hours of driving. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
