Factually incorrect. There’s one in Burlington, Canton, and Natick. And they’ll be putting one in the Pru soon.

To answer your original question, balls of melon wrapped in procuitto is always a winner.

Do it. Beers are on me

Smoked salmon deviled eggs, a nice cheese tray, bowl of pistachios, an iced bowl of boiled shrimp with remoulade dipping sauce, a platter of sliced tomatoes red onion and sliced mozzarella with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper (although a bit early for good tomatoes)

Bake a couple sheets of chicken wings and serve with dipping sauce. If having wine some good chocolate and pieces of fruit. Hummus, seasoned popcorn, platter of baked goods, brownies, cookies etc...

Bowl of wasabi peas, a nice baked Brie with figs and nuts or honey and pistachios.

Bowl of olives, a good pate’, a cutting board with a few whole apples and a bowl of peanut butter on it so they can slice themselves and spread.

A bowl of Skittles. Yes skittles. I have a friend who serves this at every party and for some reason it goes fast. It actually works well with heavy beers and wines.

A small cake or pie, trail mix, vegetable platter with homemade ranch. Small roasted potatoes with a dip, whole roasted cauliflower like Dominica.

I like to do fruit salsa as well served with cinnamon sugar pitas chips.

This sounds delicious. Fruit salsa.. I’ve never heard of that.

Try it sometime! I don't have a recipe, but basically it's mainly strawberries and then whatever fruit you want. Put it in the food processor until your desired consistency then add a little jelly/jam.
