I went to a fundraiser last Friday night for the Mr. and Mrs. L. Dexter Woodman Scholarship Fund. It was held at The Essex Room at Woodman’s. Woodman’s has been around for 100 years and the Essex Room (known also as the Function Hall, or the Hall, or out back) for nearly half that time. […]
The warm weather and sun have certainly returned to the northeast, burning away the memories of a cold and snowy winter. Everyone can feel it within themselves the day the weather really starts to turn. Soon after, everything starts falling into place, early season sunburns, reading a book outside with a cold drink as your […]
As Easter weekend approaches, many people are hectically trying to organize their dining plans that can accommodate all of the family. In fact, as recent history shows, Woodman’s of Essex has worked its way into many families’ dinner plans for Easter. This Sunday, Woodman’s will be glad to serve all the families that come to […]
Ever wonder how fresh the seafood that you are eating is? You can walk into any run of the mill seafood restaurant and have the generic lobster tank in the restaurant’s foyer greet you. Although you see those lobsters alive, how fresh can “the classic New England Lobster” they are offering be when you are […]
As I escaped New England’s last wintry blizzard this past week to my metro Philadelphia college campus, I found more than a handful of people I encountered commenting on what I was wearing. I had on my white long sleeve Woodman’s t-shirt. On this short appears a navy blue clam on the front with the […]
It is hard, as March gets underway, not to think about warmer weather, going outside, eating great seafood and preparing for the summer. Last night, I went to bed feeling pretty good. When I drove home at 5:00 it was still light out. Ok, lighter than it was a month ago. My mind always goes […]
As we spring forward this Sunday and hopefully will have faced our last bit of snow for the season, New Englanders hope to soon hear the familiar springtime chirps and songs of birds, see colorful blooming of flowers, and enjoy the beauties a New England springtime presents. Of course, here in New England, many enjoy […]
Back in the 1950s my mother and father packed us all up in our red 1951 Pontiac and drive from our house in the Back Bay of Boston to a memorable outing up route 1 toward the North Shore of Boston. First, we went swimming and sunbathing in the Atlantic Ocean at Crane’s Beach, in Ipswich on a […]
Payday loans Have you ever been to a Woodman’s Clambake? There isn’t anything better than a boiled lobster, some steamers and a clam chowder on a hot summer day, cooked for you fresh, in your own backyard. Have you ever picked out your lobster in the front of our clam shack and had them […]
This was submitted from one of our summer customers… The other day, I had a traditional New England clambake catered by Woodman’s of Essex on a beach north of Boston, Massachusetts. I was left with six 1 ¼ pound freshly cooked lobsters because I ordered a twin lobster dinner for each of my guests and […]
