Northampton is buzzing with eateries serving up all kinds of diverse dining experiences, but right in our neighborhood we have fab local breweries and super restaurants that focus on area produce and friendliness.
Great bar, friendly staff, local produce, interesting and varied mennu items often with a fusion twist, vegan, vegetarian. One of our favorite places to have a relaxed and casual supper out. Open Thursday-Sunday 5-8.

Just north of us in Greenfield, The People's Pint has a happy, bistro vibe. Interesting specials every day, their own beer on tap (and nose-fizzing ginger beer!), eclectic menu, great salads, lots of vegetarian options. Save room for homemade dessert!

A complement to Hope & Olive, this woodfire pizzeria is one of our favorites for the variety of gourmet pizza choices (as well as build-your-own), and pasta entrées if you are not into a slice or two of pie. Simple but good wine and bubble choices, mock/cocktails, beer and cider. Gluten free available!

Champney's Restaurant & Tavern is inside the Deerfield Inn owned and operated by the museum of Historic Deerfield. A beautiful dining bar with many beers on tap, great cocktails, and an extensive wine list. A more casual eating area on one side and a more formal restaurant on the other. Serving both lunch and dinner inside and to takeaway. Vegetarian and gluten free choices.

Intimate and welcoming, Gianni Fig's (Gianni Calabrese's nickname) is in South Deerfield. Authentic Italian cuisine: risotto as well as pasta, well-considered range of wines and super special cocktails (the Fig Old Fashioned will knock your socks off), and the best in-house cannoli.

This place is a phenomenon, from its decor to its extraordinary craft beer, considered by many beer geeks as one of the top breweries in the world! They have added a distillery to their line-up. You can bring your own food and picnic outside, but they also offer a selection of in-house pizzas.
Also an outdoor music venue with awesome headliners!

Working extensively with local farms, the Blue Heron in Sunderland, a semi finalist in the James Beard Foundation Awards in 2022, is the spot for something upscale and special. Outdoor and indoor dining, seasonal and classic cocktails, solid wine list, stellar service. We love the open view kitchen.

Local history
Memorial Hall Museum on Memorial Street is the oldest museum association in New England. It is housed in the first building of Deerfield Academy, 1798-1878.
Free admission (but donations happily received), a sweet little gift shop, and three floors that tell the fascinating history of Deerfield with quirky, intriguing, and stunning exhibits. The area history of African Americans and Indigenous People are interpreted here. Quilts, farming and domestic implements, paintings, furniture, musical instruments, and the oldest rag doll in America: Bangwell Putt. Just a delight to wander through.

Home to Amherst College and UMass, Amherst is a lovely little college town. UMass has its Museum of Contemporary Art, and at Amherst College you can view its eclectic art collection at the Mead Art Museum. The Beneski Museum of Natural History is also housed at Amherst College and showcases area fossils and minerals.
Emily Dickinson's home is open as a museum and the docents afford a wonderful glimpse into her reclusive life.

A marvelous permanent collection in a very manageable space. The artwork glides across periods and geographies, from ancient Greek vases to modern video art. The collection is always being rotated so there is always something fresh to see, and the special exhibitions are invariably utterly dynamic.

In our top ten of all-time favorite museums, the Clark is about an hour away along Rte 2 W. The drive itself is beautiful, but this museum has it all - decorative arts, European and American paintings, sculptures, silver, ceramics, from the Renaissance to the early 20th-century.
You will be bowled over by the artwork you see here! Unexpected treasures in every gallery and the museum surrounds are gorgeous.

About one hour to the west up and over the lovely Mohawk Trail, the vast and lively MASS MoCa is in North Adams. The campus is situated inside a complex of closed 19th-century mill buildings and a defunct electric company site. The buildings are part of the story of innovation, experimentation, and evocative art.
Lovely café, great ice cream, coffee, and a microbrewery - all connected to the Berkshire Valley.
