We went to Bertini's a family owned italian restaurant we chose it because it looked interesting and like a sense of place in salem. I went to dinner there and talked to the waitress about the project. I asked her the type of people that come in and why has the restaurant been open so long.
I learned that Bertini's is a family owned restaurant opened by Charles Bertini and his wife Ester. It was opened in 1943 and has been opened for over 70 years. Now their grandson runs the family business. The restaurant gives off a homey vibe. Everyone that works their is very friendly and kind, they make you feel like part of the family. This is why so many people have been going here for 70 years. Bertini's is a big sense of place for many people in Salem. One lady went there as a child with her parents and still continues to go. The restaurant gives you a sense of place and that is why it has lasted so many years.
This contributed to my sense of place because it made me feel more connected to Salem. I felt more like a local going there than I have anywhere else.
I chose to do my research paper on sense of place. I'm going to connect the restaurant to sense of place and how important it is.
