A dining spot just north of Boston that closed earlier this year--and that once had a couple of well-known local chefs/restaurateurs involved--is going to be opening back up again.
According to a Facebook post, JW's in Winthrop is planning to reopen with a new menu and "great vibes," with the note saying that it is under new ownership and management and that details on the Putnam Street place will be coming soon. JW's, which closed down this spring, had been in business since 2014 and went through a reconcepting a couple of years later, as Jay Silva (Bambara) took over the restaurant and initially had Marc Orfaly (ReelHouse, The Beehive, Pigalle), helping out with consulting. It appears that the restaurant may have gone through another ownership change a short time before it closed down in March, though no specific details had been given at the time.
The address for JW's is 10 Putnam Street, Winthrop, MA, 02152.
[January 14, 2020 update: A Facebook post from the place mentions that JW's is slated to have a grand reopening on January 22.]
[January 24, 2020 update: A new Facebook post from the place indicates that JW's is now open, with its menu including such items as burgers, flatbreads/pizza, steak and pork tips, pasta dishes, and more.]
