Latest Winthrop hotel reviews
Watch a Thunder Storm in the making!
RhondaRuth Says: Have you ever seen a cloud form upward to an anvil shape like this? If you see this, it will most likely become a Thunder Storm if conditions are right and it doesn't fall apart. Interesting to see ...
RhondaRuth Says: Winthrop has 5 beaches. A least two are large enough for walking with beautiful views and the calming sound of the surf.
1 Review and 65 Opinions This is a great restaurant with rooms upstairs being the part of the Hotel. I understand there are...
Brother's Restaurant: Brother's Restaurant on Revere Street
streetman2 Says: The place is a little run down and the wait staff is kinda slow but the food is not bad. The prices are very reasonable. I recommend the burgers. Juicy and overhanging the bun, about the best I've found anywhere. I often find myself there when I want "comfort food". Nothing...
Winthrop Arms Hotel and Restaurant: Atmosphere and Great Food!
RhondaRuth Says: A long time hotel in the area that has been refurbished and brought back to status of a fine hotel and restaurant. Wonderful hospitality! Everyone always has a pleasant word and smile! I love the filet, but also find the baked haddock, salmon or sole to be devine. Whatever...
Boston Harbor: Nature's Nightlife in Winthrop!
RhondaRuth Says: Unless you go to an event at one of the yacht clubs or the Elks or maybe a play at the Makers Playhouse, the only other nightlife that I know of is "watching the sun set". They can be beautiful! Here is one of our November Sunsets... that's Boston to your right, just beyon...
Unless you belong to an Elks...
RhondaRuth Says: Unless you belong to an Elks or a Yacht Club, go to Boston for the Night Life! If you're a member of one of these clubs anywhere else in the country, you'll be welcomed as a visitor for the day.
Airplane, Car, Bus or Boat. ...
RhondaRuth Says: Airplane, Car, Bus or Boat. Only two roads into town ... Both are Route 145 ... one entering from East Boston and the other exits from Revere. (unless you're coming IN that way)They're talking about a Ferry from Deer Island to Boston here someday.We do have buses that run on...
The French Square: Winthrop's Mini-Mall
RhondaRuth Says: Just a little spot in town of local shops of all kinds; Bakery, banks, drugstore, liquer store, dollar store, little takeout restaurants, medical, dentists, beauty shops, shoe store & groceries. A little of everything within a small area of streets! Just like a "Square"!With...
Feeding the Swans of Lewis Lake
RhondaRuth Says: A neighbor feeds the swans, duck & seagulls of Lewis Lake some bread. Just on the other side of the road is Boston Harbor.Frankly I don't think they should be fed table scraps like this. They should be fending for themselves in the summer months and it only makes them stay...
RhondaRuth Says: Many Drakes, Buffalowhead, and Canadian Geese winter over here. It's around 9:00 am in this picture, but this is where many more than this will sleep overnight.
RhondaRuth Says: Don't be fooled into thinking you can go out on the ice. I've never seen it freeze solid.
Stay Away from Logan Airspace ...
RhondaRuth Says: Unless you're in one of the airplanes.Massport often finds it necessary to kill birds that could fly into jet engines and cause malfunctions. Usually the casualties are starlings or seagulls. But on September 13, 2002, Massachusetts Port Authority officials that were trying...
It's not the usual area for...
RhondaRuth Says: It's not the usual area for tourists to come, so I can't think of any traps to get into here. Unless you looking for a Lobster trap!!
RhondaRuth Says: This is New England and has a variety of weather and more than one event can happen in one day. Since we're on the coast, count on a 10 degree difference (lower) and we're usually warmer than inland. But do remember, in Winter we still get snow and cold weather like the rest...
RhondaRuth Says: Next the Jimmy Magg's on Bennington Street, East Boston is the entrance to the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation..Belle Isle Marsh Reservation preserves 152 acres of the 241- acre Belle Isle Marsh, Boston's last remaining salt marsh. A unique place to explore, the reservation...
Front or Backyard Gardens abound.....
RhondaRuth Says: Okay ... this might not be an acitivity for all, BUT I love to walk about town and view the gardens. Either in the front, side or back yards, as well as on the porches to greet a visitor. People put so much work into them and the Summer is too short not to walk about and...
RhondaRuth Says: Bill went fishing with other members and came back with 3 large Cod. Kept us in fish fillets all winter this past year. Good eating! If you're a fisherman, you know what you need!
RhondaRuth Says: We're on the Harbor side of Winthrop and when it get's as cold as it has this winter 2003, the salt water will freeze up on Boston Harbor. The Ice Breaker Boat has to go out and break up the ice thru the Channel so ships can come & go to Boston. I didn't get a picture of...
Picnics, Concerts and Special Celebrations
RhondaRuth Says: The sense of being a part of a close community. Joining in the activities at one of Belle Isle Reservation's local celebration and picnic. Really nice neighborhood, hometown feeling. All ages join in the festivities!
