I used to work in Milton a lifetime ago. I love all the cute little shops and of can’t get out of the Fruit Center for anything less than $100. I was excited to visit my old hood and check out Abby Park, conveniently located on Adams Street. There’s plenty of on street parking – we lucked out with a spot right out front.

Abby Park has a great dining room with windows that open onto the street. In addition, there is a large bar area and a private room downstairs for functions.

I ordered from the Ladies Night menu which is available on Monday nights, 3 courses and a beer/glass of wine for $30. I started with the caprese salad. A lovely presentation and the salad was delicious – I liked that the dish had olive oil and balsamic.

My main course was the bolognese. The sauce was a mix of ground beef, veal and pork with a touch of cream and it was all topped with a snowy mountain of parmesan cheese.

For dessert, how could I pass up the key lime pie.

I had written about Cakes bakery before (http://dgrubs.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/cakes-bakery/). I was in the neighborhood and figured I’d stop in for another try. I made a quick search of their Facebook page to see what was going on-and found out that they had been interviewed by the Phantom Gourmet-pretty cool!

I was in around 6pm on a Wednesday evening, and they didn’t have many cupcakes left. I went with two cupcakes and two brownies. Above is a vanilla cupcake-decorated appropriately for the season! ($2.10)

I also went with a salted caramel cupcake ($2.10), which they didn’t have last time. Salted caramel seems like all the rage these days, doesn’t it?

I tried two kinds of brownies, this one is a ‘decadent’ brownie ($2.20) which is a regular brownie with chocolate chips.

This brownie is called the everything bar ($2.30) which you might also know as a 7 layer bar. Graham crust on the bottom, spiced up with a little cinnamon, coconut, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, nuts etc. At first glance, the top looks a bit dry, but when I peel it from the wax paper, the bottom left a grease stain. Overall not bad.

Can’t wait to try their lunch sometime….it looks tasty.
