Favorite Tradition
We love the Yum Yum shop, especially the cheese danish! My only complaint is if we don't get there early enough, they run out of them. Growing up, my grandfather and I would boat over from Rattlesnake, him letting me drive, and we would go there for a box of pastry to bring back for everyone else at camp(box wrapped with the blue and white string), and he would go to Black's to get his paper. Those trips with him are some of my fondest memories.
Now, I go over every weekend with my own children, and have the same ritual. They love the Yum Yum for the danish and gingerbread, and the love Black's for the "stuff" you can hardly find anymore anywhere else. It will be a sad day when either one of those shops closes...
As a side, I also remember the Yum Yum when there were several other locations, including Haverhill MA where I grew up.
