Start your holiday shopping at locally owned stores during Small Business Saturday.
Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on. American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Marlborough. Last year, 100 million people nationwide participated in Small Business Saturday by shopping at locally owned stores to help boost the economy and their communities. Among the places that you can participate in Small Business …

Thanksgiving has always been a time for me to reflect on the past year and remember the things big and small that have made my year better. This year I am looking at a new job working here. But it is not just the job that I am thankful for but you, the readers, and the many elements that make this site so unique and valuable in the community. So here are some of the things that I am thankful about when it comes to Patch. 1. We're Patchers, and not Elves. When the masterminds behind Patch.com started dreaming up names for the hyperlocal news venture, "Patch," beat out a dozen other names, one of which was "Elf." Now, I'm all about team spirit but rocking pointy ears is not at the top of my list of chosen accessories. 2. The Patch site is so…

The restaurant in the Staple's Plaza on Boston Post Road East had its grand opening last week.
Why brave the cold when you can have the tailgating experience inside with a plethera of televisions? That is the question behind the Tailgaters in Acton and now at its new location in Marlborough. "It's the grilled, tailgating experience," said Chris Rotti, the kitchen manager who explained burgers are the restaurants specialty. "In the winter it's nice. You don't actually have to tailgate. You can come inside and we can cook it for you." The experience goes beyond the food and lands squarely in the bar with multiple TV's that will stream in the NFL Package to the restaurant and bar. Even the booths have individual TV's to let you choose the game of your choice. During certain Patriots games, former players will even be making appearances…

Local businesses and the city of Marlborough weathered Hurricane Sandy with their heads high and doors (mostly) open.
While the city lay mostly silent Monday as schools, government buildings and even businesses shuttered their doors, everything is back and running in Marlborough. Many restaurants shuttered their doors Monday, but the Main Street Cafe kept theirs open. When the power goes out and when the storm is bearing down on the city, people need a place to go for a warm meal, said owners Mary and Randy Scott. Although they may have battened down the hatches during the storm, local businesses are back up and running. Included among their numbers are Jake's and the Coffee Loft. The city is back up and running today as well. With the schools having been closed for two days, children are now back in school and thanks to a decision by the city with …
