The Tonic Towns are the inner northern suburbs of Boston. North, but not on the coast. (Except for maybe parts of Lynn.) "Tonic" is used, instead of soda or pop.
At one time, these towns were resorts, most had a lake or pond. And, liquor licenses were not year round, but six months.

Subs are subs, cabinets are frappes.

Frappe= milkshake with ice cream added
Milkshake=milk with syrup added

Cabinet is used in Rhode Island for a frappe.
