Excellent Sweets at Metropolis Fine Confections in Lawrence, MA

A few of us went to a neat little place in Lawrence called Metropolis Fine Confections last week. Actually, we went two days in a row, since the fudge, candies, and other sweets were so good there, and also very reasonable. I particularly liked the fudge, which was also a good $3.00 to $5.00 cheaper than I've seen at other places around the Boston area. And both the milk chocolate with pecans and the dark chocolate with pecans were delicious. I went through about a half pound of those in only a couple of days.

Metropolis Fine Confections is one of several shops that can be found in the Cotton Weaving House, an interesting old building with lots of nooks and crannies. Lawrence has a number of fascinating historic buildings like this one, with the Cotton Weaving House being especially well-suited for shops, since the building is small and manageable. I just wish that Metropolis and the other businesses here had more prominent signs out front, as it is so easy to drive by the Cotton Weaving House without even knowing what is inside the building. Hopefully people will start discovering Metropolis Fine Confections, as it is a terrific little spot in the heart of up-and-coming Lawrence.

For those who would like the address of Metropolis Fine Confections, here it is: Metropolis Fine Confections, 181 Canal Street, Lawrence, MA 01840; the phone number is (978) 683-2873
