Great Barrington probably has more great restaurants per capita than any place I've ever been in my life. It's 30 minutes from our home in the area but man is it worth the drive. And the entertainment on railroad Street on weekend nights is a nice way for the entire family to spend time together....

We only spend part of the year here, but we always look forward to it.

On certain Saturday evenings, they close off Railroad St and have booths, food, and street performers. Almost seems like you're in a hallmark movie.

We love it, the only drawback is the massive lines at SoCo creamery on those evenings...

Dinner at Number 10, and a show at Mahaiwe is a new date nite tradition for the missus and I now...

I regret to say I still need to go to the Mahaiwe. Number 10 though.. that's one of my favorites now.

We saw graham nash there last summer. The guy's worth something like 50 to 75 million dollars, and he still plays these <1500 seat theaters because he just loves to play.

The theater itself is gorgeous and is supposed to be acoustically excellent, from my experience I would have to agree.

Just curious have you ever tried Pleasant and Main in Housatonic? Another favorite.. Very eclectic decor.

Oooh once years ago but I keep meaning to go back. I’m very close to it.
