The North Shore of Massachusetts, particularly around the towns of Hamilton and Wenham, is a serene and affluent area known for its equestrian heritage, historic estates, and the prestigious Myopia Hunt Club. Despite its proximity to Boston, this region remains relatively low-key and friendly, with small village centers and a relaxed atmosphere. South Hamilton offers a slightly more vibrant downtown with local shops, restaurants, and bars, including Post, a casual upscale eatery housed in a historic former post office building that embraces the area’s equestrian roots.
Post stands out for its reasonably priced, generous portions and a diverse menu featuring standout sandwiches like the croque monsieur and cubano, as well as gourmet pizzas, tacos, and hearty dinners such as wiener schnitzel and beef pho. The restaurant also boasts an impressive selection of craft beers, cocktails, and wines, making it a competitive dining option compared to Boston’s trendier neighborhoods, but with easier parking and a more relaxed vibe. Post exemplifies the hidden culinary gems found in the quieter North Shore towns, offering quality food and drink in a charming, historic setting.
