you can preorder Dunkin and walk past the line to pick it up. but all of the other coffee and food/coffee places that you can do take out from have stopped that option until Nov 2nd. yeah...being a local requires patience right now

Thank you Emily. Those of us from this area know to stay away. We can visit from November to September.

So accurate. Better to stay in Beverly or Danvers and hop over to Salem Village. But I do love Salem any other time of year!! It does do October best though.

I work on Essex Street and trust me when I say we are working over 10 hours shifts to entertain the tourists in October. On Halloween, we are gonna be super exhausted so please be nice to the workers and follow the business's rules.

I went to salem this last week but I will say I waited in no lines. And didn’t have to use a portapotty the whole time. If you do it .do it smart. Get food and coffee outside of the main street. There’s a lot of options. And everything is about walk a way.
