Great Marsh is a great stop for a change of pace in Essex.

A wonderful brewery and restaurant right in Essex. Located close to Crane Beach and right in the middle of lots of cute antique shops and some cool restaurants.  The first level is a bar with games for you to enjoy and on the second floor is the restaurant and bar area. Beautiful booth seating in the bar with gorgeous views of the marsh. The food was great. I loved the arugula and prosciutto flatbread and the wings! My kids enjoyed their mac n cheese and cookies and milk for dessert, as well as the crayons and coloring sheets!

The Head of Accounting and Boston Ambassador, Jenny has been living in Boston for almost 10 years. Before Boston, she lived in Washington, DC for 8 years, and previous to that grew up on Long Island, NY. Along the way, she spent a few months in Amsterdam with her family biking all around and exploring that beautiful city! Jenny has always enjoyed being active - from organized sports to jogging, and of course, being in the garden as much as possible when the weather is cooperative. She tries to include her children in all of her active hobbies. With two toddler boys, ages 3 and 5, she and her husband spend their time discovering new places and things to do in the New England area. Spending time outdoors in all types of weather and encouraging her children to love all seasons is very important to her - and so is helping and encouraging others to do the same. Jenny and her family love spending time at the beach, traveling, taking walks and hikes, and of course, finding new playgrounds!
