There are some things that Massachusetts natives just can’t get enough of. Check out these so-true Bay State obsessions.
- Gronk
Flickr/WEBN-TV We can’t help ourselves. He’s just so big and fast and Gronky.
- Dunkin Donuts
Flickr/Chiara Cremaschi Massachusetts runs on Dunkin.
- Christmas Tree Shops
Flickr/NNECAPA Photo Library We do. We do just love a bargain. (Duh duh)
- Friendly’s ice cream
Flickr/Mike Mozart What’s a Fribble? Massachusetts natives know.
- State fairs and carnivals
Flickr/MOTT The Big E anyone? And how about that Barnstable County Fair? Good stuff.
- The Berkshires
Flickr/MOTT Especially when the foliage starts to turn. Leaf-peepers are EVERYWHERE.
- Pretending to be extremely Irish on St. Patrick’s Day
Flickr/Thomas Hawk Lots of us are actually Irish, but many just remember that grandmother that was 1/32 Irish and figure that’s enough to celebrate.
- Grapenut custard
Flickr/BEV Norton It’s a Massachusetts classic that is unexpectedly delightful. And grape nut custard ice cream is delish.
- The beach, obviously.
Flickr/MOTT With some of the best beaches in the world, we’re a bit spoiled when it comes to seaside vacations.
- The Cape
Flickr/MOTT
- We love to hate the Yankees.
Flickr/Wally Gobetz
- But we just plain love Yankee Candle.
Flickr/Mike Mozart
- The Kennedy clan
Flickr/James Diedrick Whether or not we agree with their politics, there’s definitely a fair bit of Kennedy fascination going on here.
- Hoodsie Cups
Flickr/Laura 47 Half vanilla, half chocolate, 100 percent nostalgia.
- Complaining about traffic on the Pike.
Flickr/Nelson de Witt Especially Sunday afternoons in the summer, inbound to Boston. Hell on earth.
- Roaring bonfires
Flickr/anji barton Whether its on a beach or deep in the woods, we love hanging out around the fire with friends.
- Clam chowder
Flickr/Wally Gobetz And none of that brothy or tomatoey stuff.
- Loyalty
Filckr/Thomas Hawk Whether its to a sports team or your childhood pals, we appreciate a loyal spirit.
