Driving through Winthrop you get a beautiful view of the ocean.

I agree with a lot of what Dan G has said. I lived on one of the neighborhoods he mentioned in his…read morepost. Winthrop is a great city to live in. This isn't an industrial city which means that it mainly consists of residential areas. I would live here forever if I could. Close knit communities and quiet areas means that there's a lot of peace of mind when living here. There are two major reasons why I HAVE to give it four stars instead of five. 1. There always always seems to be construction going on. Like Dan G. mentioned earlier, there is one Dunkin Donuts location that chokes up traffic all the time! Not only that, but they have been working on the bridge there now for over a year and they JUST finished ONLY half of the bridge.. which means there's halfway more to go. It is HORRIBLE in the morning to get from inside the residential areas of Winthrop towards Boston because of it... it's actually a nightmare. 2. Logan Airport. It's located RIGHT beside Winthrop and jams up cellular service. I lived in the downstairs apartment of my landlord and I get no reception whatsoever on my phone, and the internet connection is horrible. Just TRY to watch a single video on YouTube.. it's nearly impossible to finish a ten minute video because the connection is so bad. My landlord tells me that they keep a land-line in their home because their cell phone service is so bad. Beside those two crippling downsides, there's just no way I would call Winthrop "perfect" but it comes damn close.

This trip someone had a musically performance and turned buckets into a drum set!

It's a perfect stop to grab delicious foods and sweet treats , listening to live music or grabbing souvenirs . Service depending on which vendor you stop at was a 50/50. Some super friendly and some super rude. Value is average but I think some of the food places were over priced and food under value with no flavor . I do love the cobble stone streets and other vendors surrounding the hall.

As he was originally from Boston, it seems a fitting tribute to his memory.

Everything here is good from the bread, the appetizers, the drinks, to the main course. I even just love a basic Caesar salad with chicken cutlets from here.

I prefer to eat in here, the 4/5 comes from the fact that take out often lacks, but thats not totally unexpected, and sometimes service can be slow, but its usually a perfect experience, and I go there often. The vibes here are also nice, its a smaller place, but pretty. In the summer they also have an outdoor patio.

On Saturdays, the farmer's market happens on the street right outside of the public market so you can purchase fresh produce at great prices ($0.99 for a pint of raspberries!!)
