The former owner of the property, Dr. Joseph R. Petranek (fondly known by his patients as Dr. Bob) saved a menu from the Marguery, which still hangs in a frame in IRWA's offices.

This was in the 60's, when restaurants still remained open on New Year's Day. It seems that all the fine restaurants my parents took me to were in Ipswich. Jack Hackett's Lakeside was another restaurant in Ipswich where we went for my high school graduation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048968877751194418.post-5981249903653449572013-08-22T19:51:18.673-04:002013-08-22T19:51:18.673-04:00Any recipes or interesting stories to tell.Any recipes or interesting stories to tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048968877751194418.post-43117669117466862692013-08-17T06:29:01.864-04:002013-08-17T06:29:01.864-04:00Anonymous can you add any insight into the "s...Anonymous can you add any insight into the "suspicious small fires" story?HalfPuddingHalfSaucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322213537553774149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048968877751194418.post-57337178741835113582013-08-16T23:43:54.694-04:002013-08-16T23:43:54.694-04:00I worked at the Marguery for seveal years in the l...I worked at the Marguery for seveal years in the late 60s and early 70s.
