Nate’s family is from a town called Cohasset in Massachusetts. Cohasset is a seaside town 20 miles south of Boston, complete with a beautiful harbor, town green and cute main street (not to mention AWESOME houses that I’ll never be able to afford but can always dream about!). Nate and I spent a lot of time there in our early years and I love it so much.
One of our favorite little spots in Cohasset is a bakery called “French Memories.” It’s on Main Street (no website) and is full of the best pastries, tarts, bread and cheeses. Their nut twists and raspberry croissants are my FAVORITES. This place is authentic (the owner is French) and apparently they have live music there once a week or something now. Anyhow, I was able to get over to French Memories one morning while we were in town. It was just as wonderful as ever!

Mmmm…that looks so delicious, I want to get some right now! I bet if I floored it, I could get there in an hour and fifteen from where I am in New Haven.

I love this bakery - I try to get there as early as possible for the croissants, but I haven’t made it there for lunch yet, which looks equally as good.

Oooh, yum! I need to go hunting for a good french pastry shop around these parts. Any recommendations from fellow diners in the DC area?????
