Sinikka mostly loves to paint, but also unleashes her expressionist soul when inspired by any manner of found object: she’s woven ryas, made sculpture from hangers, and wall pieces from recyclables. Watch an interview with the artist here. 
Please support our generous Partners while visiting
Cape Ann during the TourFor the first time ever, we have partnered with the Cape Ann Chamber to mark the Cape Ann Artisan locations on their full Cape Ann Map.

In Flanders Fields.

was penned by Lieut. Col. John M. McCrae, Canadian physician and soldier, during the First World War, following the first German chemical attack, early spring 1916, Second Battle of Ypres. Bonescattered torn and trampled fields germinated scarlet poppies and so many, many simple white crosses. The fallen went from war to peace.

In Flanders Fields was first published in London Punch December 1915. By March 1916, American newspapers carried the poem ( including Norwich Bulletin, and KY Citizen, June, 1916) McCrae died in France in 1918, and there rests in peace and vitality.

The common poppies sway by design, are tall and reaching; their architecture flings the seeds further and their flowers appear to open and close, intermittent as firecracker displays. (Individual flowers bloom for (mostly) a day, but the one plant will produce hundreds of flowers over the season.) The large translucent blooms indeed blow, glow and grow. Those adjectives in the first line opener of McCrae’s poem have swapped around in different versions. “Blow” it is.

The Rhumb Line is excited to reopen Wednesday, June 9th at 4pm!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Fly Amero will be kicking off our nightly 6-9pm live music schedule that evening. Check out our new website for our current menu and live music calendar at The Rhumb Line

The Rhumb Line

We will be closed for the time being on Mondays and Tuesdays. We will have full indoor bar and table seating and limited outdoor seating on our patio (weather permitting). We will reopen with a limited menu with all your favorites like burgers, brunch, French onion soup, nachos, shoestring fries, wings, Caesar salad and some specials (which will include fresh fish, steak, and a vegetarian/plant based item). Our full menu will be back soon!

We will have live music Thursday through Sunday. We are going to have a $5 per person entertainment charge–all of which will go directly to the musicians. While The Rhumb Line and other restaurants have suffered over the last 15 months, so have our musicians, so please come support them.

Our outside patio will be available for private parties as well as overflow. We won’t have table service out there for awhile, but you can order inside and take your food and drink outside.
All our staff is returning and are so excited to be BACK. 
Thank you for all of your support over the last 15 months. It has meant so much to us. We can’t wait to see everyone back at The Rhumb Line very soon!
