    I live in MA and have been to Salem a few times around Halloween and it is soooo crowded!! You can hardly move. Forget about getting a table for any meal, standing in lines that go around buildings to get into stores and exhibits, lots of time wasted waiting. Great idea to go off season and be able to enjoy it more!

    Oh, I visited Salem a few years ago and I had such a great time seeing all the locations for Hocus pocus. But I think what a lot of people forget to keep in mind is that all of those people that were killed. None of them were actually witches so for many people it is the location of martyrdom if you stop and think of it but what a fascinating place Salem is I can't wait to have another opportunity to go back.
    I love the shops, especially the emporium and thoroughly modern Milly I think is the name of the place. So fun and the food was so great

    Awww...so glad you and your bestie enjoyed Salem. It is fun during off times. Ive been there several times and became friends with a lady who had been one of the official tea leaf readers there for over 55 years. She retired and passed away not long ago. One of my favorite shops to go in is The Silversmith shop....its almost too much to take in if you collect stones and crystals. Its fun to get off the beaten paths there and take in the water ways. There is a small area of beach that was always fun at the wharf, along with going in the antique shop.

    Oh yeah, Red's is the best!---you can't eat it all. 😋

  • @SuperM0nica
    @SuperM0nica Před 11 měsíci

    I live nearby and my cousin lives on the wharf so, I like to visit often. If you didn’t get a chance to stop, the Salem mall is a blast from the past and there are a couple cool shops and haunted houses in there. The Peabody Essex Museum is really nice but, not aimed specifically towards the witch trials or Salem history. Also, Goodnight Fatties for cookies and Gula Gula for coffee, you won’t be disappointed. It’s also noteworthy that Salem is very LGBTQ+ friendly and North Shore Pride is held there every year. If you go during October then you won’t want to miss Haunted Happenings in the park, sooo many talented artists and scenes from Hubie Halloween were filmed there 🎃

    It is a beautiful city. I was just there this past weekend. There is history, great food, amazing shops, beautiful old architecture, and fun stuff to do at night. I bought myself a few goodies from The Black Veil, Witch City Wicks, 1925 (a sister store of Emporium 32), and Blackcraft! I live in southeastern MA so I am about a 90 min drive away.

    I use to live outside Portland Maine. I could drive to Salem in about 90 minutes. I got to experience Halloween there multiple times. I also got opportunities to visit other than Halloween. Whether you go for Halloween or any other time of year, Salem is a great seaport city accessible by foot with lots of history, shopping, dining, and of course witchcraft! 🧙‍♀️

This video did make me remember some of the sights which was a great reminder of the friend trip.

    Omg, I'm so happy you went here! We have a girls' trip that we do every year (and this time, it will be my bachelorette in august!😆). Reds by far is our favorite breakfast spot, but if you are going during busy season, prepare to wait. Blackcraft is my friends new favorite, and emporium 32 is my favorite store ( I love getting my sealing wax for my letters here). A few recommendations not listed:
    1. The Village Silversmith is my friends favorite shop. Great jewlery, and they tell you what each stone is used for
    2. Omen/hex are two shops also on new Orleans and cater more to different types of craft. I love their spell bath bombs.
    3. The covens cottage does not allow recording or photos, but their stuff is awesome for green witches/nordic/celtic things.
    4. Salem ink and art gallery is where we got our matching tattoos, and we loved the art and the service they had.
    5. Trolley Depot is a great place to look aside from the obviously branded souvenir shops for other people.
    6. Salem Waterfront is a great hotel, but rooms fill up super quick, durring busy season.
    Maybe when I go I'll see you there!
