That wouldn't be Ivar's would it?  Since I'm new to the area, I don't 
know all the places yet.  I love thier white clam chowder and fried 
clams....haven't tried their steamers yet.  That would be a good time 
to find out!!  Tell ya what.....for your advise I'll buy ya some 
clams when you DO decide to visit :)
