Highly Recommended: The Melina Pizza
May 16th, 2010 by ChrisCosmic Amanda is on a Mission Mission
May 14th, 2010 by ChrisIn case you aren’t a Facebook fan of The Feeve yet (what are you waiting for?) – then you may have missed our very own Cosmic Amanda blogging from all the way on the other side of the country.
Amanda blogging about burritos. Shocking.
She breaks down what it’s like to be a blog tourist and the funniness of fake moustaches.
Hopefully she makes it back to the East Coast because I can’t keep up this daily blog pace without her.
Let her know what you think in the comments!
Mass Veggieburgers
May 12th, 2010 by ChrisI was so inspired by my interview with noted cheeseburger enthusiast, Jeremy, that I’ve started taking pictures of my own creations.
I now present the veggie double cheeseburger:
Cheese, Thousand Island Dressing, Ketchup
It was good.
I Love Falafel
May 11th, 2010 by ChrisEvery city needs a place with good falafel.
Lucky for us, we have J.J.’s Kabob and Pizzeria on River Street.
443 River Street
To be honest, my favorite item at J.J.’s is the hummus:
So so creamy.
I could honestly eat the hummus until it was coming out of my ears. The only drawback is that you might not get enough pita bread for dipping but fear not: this stuff goes great on your falafel wrap too.
The falafel comes wrapped in a tidy pita with pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Very filling.
If you thought Cosmic Amanda chowing down on a burrito from Tacos Lupitas was a sight to see – then me eating one of these is downright pornographic.
Thankfully, there is no video evidence to prove this claim.
Destroyed.
Unfortunately, J.J.’s is closed on Sundays because I think it’s a law that any establishment in Haverhill must have weird business hours.
What kind of show do you get with your meal here?

Haverhill Got a Little Less Comfort-able
May 2nd, 2010 by ChrisFamous chickens everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief.
‘David’s Famous Chicken Pies’ has apparently shut it’s door after seven years. My wife and I are vegetarians but we were intrigued by the flyer advertising baked mac & cheese, mashed sweet potato, fried ravioli, and all sorts of delicious comfort food sides.
So, on Saturday we head over the bridge to Bradford only to be confronted by:
South Pleasant Street, Bradford
And:
You're going to need some Goo Gone to get that yellow off.
I called the contact number from their still-functional but Flash-only website and was told by an automated message that they have closed the retail end of their business to focus on the wholesale side.
No chicken pie for you!
This May Day: Come for the beer, stay for the schnitzel

This Saturday, May 1, Haverhill Brewery is hosting its very first May Day celebration. (Hopefully you remembered to pick your lederhosen up from the dry cleaners after Octoberfest.)
Here are the details, straight from the TAP:
“Starting at 11:30 AM we’re going German for the day-all German-style ales and lagers on tap and cask, great traditional German food specials and playing new and classic German music! No admission, just come down and clink steins with the brewers and all your friends. Make sure to come down early as some of these beers will definitely run out!
German beers on tap:
Beerstand Berlinerweiss
Smoked Pilsner
Gestalt
Scapegoat Bock
Last Stop Lager
Friedrich’s Munich DunkelGerman beers on cask:
Vienna Lager
Biergarten MaibockGerman food specials:
Rouladen
Bratwurst and Knockwurst
Wiener-schnitzel
Sauerbraten
German Chocolate Cake”
It’s supposed to be a warm and sorta-sunny afternoon on Saturday, so good luck snagging a spot on the coveted deck. Check out the Facebook invite and see if there’s someone you can trick into saving you a seat!
Cure for a case of the Mondays: Evenfall
April 26th, 2010 by Cosmic AmandaMonday is a pretty tough day of the week to be a hungry Haverillian. No Tacos Lupita. No Tap. Sigh.
Okay, look, I promised myself I’d stop “reviewing” Haverhill’s restaurants in such rapid succession because all of this gluttony is going to spoil my girlish figure. (especially considering I only believe in two forms of exercise- dog walks and dance parties)
But Evenfall‘s systematic tweeting about its “Monday night bar bites” special has made me hyper-aware of its existence, so when a friend suggested dinner, we headed straight down 125 to take a bite of destiny.
First off, am I the only one who immediately starts Pearl Jammin’ in my mind every time I think of this place? “oOooh, Evenfall…bread arrives, it’s butter-y. Mmmm.” (Okay, maybe it’s just me.)
Moving along, the atmosphere in the lounge is great. Seats at the bar, a few high tops, and several clusters of comfy chairs/couches.
Photo yoinked from the Evenfall Web site.
This was actually my first foray into the lounge, so forgive me if this is old news, but I’m kind of a fan of the big eyed lady paintings, especially the large “fly-eye view” on the wall opposite the bar. I’m also predisposed to like anyplace that serves Hendrick’s Gin and can we talk about the soundtrack they have going on for a second? Buena Vista Social Club to Matisyahu to Bjork to a classical guitar rendition of Stairway to Heaven. Whaaaat?
Burger bar bites (3rd one de-tomatoed by Mr. Cosmic)
Spiro is a genius for going with the bar bites concept, because as tasty as they were (and only $1! Plus your first is free if you check in on foursquare!) they’ll only leave you wanting more. We quickly moved on to the main event. My friend got the mozzarella and tomato panini, and that looked great. I had the Maine crab salad, which is accompanied by a nice mix of greens, crisp asparagus, and radishes. The short ribs are pure fall-off-the-bone deliciousness, so I made my husband share one of his with me…
*If yours actually resembles this, consult your doctor.
Okay, TOTALLY didn’t mean to do that, but then we got the giggles and I had to take a photo.
Luckily, Evenfall doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously, either, so I’m pretty sure we’re not barred from stopping by again next Monday. (Right, guys?)
Try a slice of one man’s dream: Romano’s
April 23rd, 2010 by ChrisOn Wednesday night I was on Primrose Street picking up some new comic books when I noticed the following sign:
Romano's "dares to be different."
I just had to find out for the people of Haverhill – just how daring and different is Romano’s? So, we put together a set of questions and sent them off to co-owner Robert Greatorex.
Robert Greatorex* gave his left forearm so you could have delicious pizza. (*not actually Robert Greatorex)
1. Being next to the Comic Book Palace – are you extra busy on Wednesday when new comics come out?
Yes. We see the same people every week from the Comic Book Palace on Wednesdays. I never knew that many people read comics.
2. I’ve heard there’s a PBJ Chicken Wing in town – any plans for a PBJ Pizza?
Funny you ask – I had PBJ pizza in Disney years ago and we have made it several times at the store, it is delicious!!!!!!
3. What do you guys mean when you say you ‘dare to be different?’
We are willing to try different things: new pizzas all the time – even a chocolate pizza. We even made a sloppy joe pizza one night.
4. So, then what separates Romano’s from the other pizza places in town?
Mainly the cheese we use. It is Grande cheese, which is the best mozzarella you can buy. It is pricey – but it is worth it!!!!
Pizza as still life.
5. What is the state of pizza in Haverhill today?
Very competetive, lots of pizza places to choose from. So, we must consistently make a great product to keep the customers coming in the door.
6. How late are you open on the weekends?
Friday and Saturday open until 10pm, and on Sundays we close at 8pm.
7. What’s Ray Romano like in real life?
Honestly, I dont know, I bet he is a blast though.
8. What made you guys want to get into the pizza business?
I have been doing this since I was 20 – I love it. So, I decided to take a chance and open one of my own.
9. Can I get a free pizza?
YES you can , but only 1 , business is business – LOL.
It's about to get REAL.
10. Who would win in a fight between the Domino’s Noid and Papa John?
I say the Noid takes out Papa John and makes him tapout.
11. Any chance you would name a pizza ‘The Haverhill Fever?’
I’ve given this some though, and yes – how does buffalo chicken and jalepenos sound?
———–
And with that – Haverhill Fever and Romano’s are proud to announce that you can now order a HAVERHILL FEVER pizza at Romano’s! Starting tonight!
It features buffalo chicken, spicy banana peppers, red pepper flakes, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese. It will be sure to get your temperature to rise.
As Robert said: ‘Try it if you dare!’
Give Romano’s a call tonight and try out this tasty new pie – 978-373-9906.
Not a newsflash: Tacos Lupita is amazing.
April 21st, 2010 by Cosmic AmandaI’ve been doing a lot of important research for the blog these days, in the form of wandering down to Tacos Lupita and completely demolishing a chicken burrito in the most unlady-like manner possible. (Short of lying down on the counter and having them ladle the ingredients directly into my mouth. Can’t say I haven’t daydreamed, though.)
Tacos Lupita, 194 River St. Haverhill
I figured eventually, I’d have some sort of epiphany while stuffing my face, and be able to encapsulate the Tacos Lupita experience in a way that had never been done before.
I mean, what can I really say about this place that hasn’t already been Yelped or blogged? Best burritos this side of San Francisco? Said. Inexpensive, fresh, and delicious? Stated. Holy cow, there’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s putting their keys in a bowl? Exclaimed. (Okay, maybe that last one is an Amanda original, but don’t tell me you haven’t thought it.)
There’s simply no way I can express in words the downright ambrosial experience of biting into a Tacos Lupita burrito that at this point wouldn’t seem totally cliché.
So instead, here’s an animated gif:
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
(PS- can we all chip in and throw a few more five star reviews Tacos Lupita‘s way? I can’t believe they only get four just because this guy prefers Chipotle’s. Laaaame.)
