Food scene in Worcester is legit. Vietnamese, East African, Dominican, there's lots to try and new things popping up regularly.

Culture is super vibrant and many universities as well bringing in young people all the time.

Public transport is not that great. Basically bus and commuter rail heading outside Worcester.

Overall city is very friendly and a good variety of different types of housing. I'd visit a couple times to see what areas resonate with you the most.
