Rich K.
Thanks for the memories........
Hey guys, I have to elaborate on what Rich just brought up......The Boston Sea Party restaurant. It was just a short walk away up the hill
from the Willow Grove Show. It was a fabulous seafood buffet-style place. Many of the dealers would get together there on Saturday nite.
For those unfamiliar with this seafood restaurant, it was franchised across the country during the mid-1970's. The quality of its seafood was
consistently good. I have eaten at the Boston Sea Party in Denver, Carol Stream (south of Chicago), Cherry Hill (NJ), and Willow Grove, PA.
It was an adventure to dine there. The set up was 3 long buffet "Piers" full of delicious goodies to select from. Pier 1 contained the seafood
appetizers, Pier 2 was stocked with the main entrees, and Pier 3 had a huge selection of desserts.
In the 1970's, for about $20, you could eat all you wanted till you dropped. By the mid-'80s the price went up to $25 (still a bargain). Then,
by the early 1990's this chain of restaurants abruptly closed down. Never understood why.
Oh well, if you were a seafood lover, the Boston Sea Party was a really great place to eat.....while it lasted.
