While there are many ways to enjoy the beauty of Nantucket - The Wauwinet Inn and Resort is one to definitely check out. The Wauwinet is a resort with a wonderful restaurant called "Toppers"....

Pros: fun afternoon with friends
Cons: if you don't like the smell of fish...

First and foremost, it is important to understand that I am, by no means, a fisherman. Like any kid growing up, I caught a couple of fish. I caught sunfish and pickerel on a lake near my house and flounder in the ocean. I even went crabbing one or two tim ...

Pros: great decor, great Tex Mex even in Massachusetts
Cons: refried beans a bit on the pasty/chalky side! but decent!

Well I made it! Epinion number 100! Finally! I'm getting a bit emotional just thinking about it. (*dabs tears out of keyboard*) Ok, on to the review. For my 11th wedding anniversary (please send...

Pros: Pleasant, quiet accomodations; Good food
Cons: Things close early; Creepy decor

It's Saturday morning, 11 AM, and we're ready to leave for Massachusetts. Yesterday, my boss tried to tell me that civilization as we know it would crumble if I didn't come in this weekend....

Pros: One of the best historical sites to visit in America
Cons: Hard to find a good place to eat in Plymouth besides the Friendly's

I always like to get down to Plymouth, MA in the fall, but it's always an interesting trip any time of the year you go. There's more to do than you might think in this town in the South Shore area of Massachusetts on the edge of Cape Cod.

The...

Pros: Affordable, fun and memorable
Cons: It's so far away from New York!!!!

I'm thrilled beyond words to be going back to a drive-in movie next week. It saddens me greatly that Long Island has no drive-in theaters, so on our upcoming trek to visit my mother the Mendon Drive-In is high on my "must see" list.

Pros: Authentic, many buildings to tour, scenic, was not crowded
Cons: none

Step back in time to the early 19th century by going to Old Sturbridge Village in New England. We just returned from a tour of the area and this was a highlight, one of many. This site is...

Pros: Great fishing, shopping, tourist sites
Cons: Expensive

I have been going to Nantucket since 1969 when I was two years old. We first came over on the Nobska, which carried cars like the ferries do today, but not as many, as she was a lot smaller than her Steamship Authority counterparts of today, the Eagle...

Pros: All you could ask for in a home away from home
Cons: none

Last February we planned a weekend in Williamstown to visit the Clark Art Institute. “Find a really nice hotel,” I told my husband. “One with all the comforts.” In my opinion, that’s the only way to travel.

The drive was lovely, and I looked...

Pros: beautiful grounds, vegetarian/holistic program
Cons: I wanted to kill myself there.

Do you like Berkshire beauty? Do you like to relax? Are you a rabbit with long ears and whiskers? If not, Kripalu is not for you.

Kripalu is the largest center for yoga and holistic health in the US, serving people of all backgrounds for...

Pros: Basketball Lover's Dream
Cons: Not all NBA teams featured

This is not the type of museum that you should make a special trip halfway around the world to see - unless you are being inducted! Certainly if you live in the area, or are visiting the area anyway, it is a worthwhile attraction, though.

The...

Pros: Close to other New England locations, has colleges, close to scenic areas like Mount Wachusett
Cons: Ugly city, crime-ridden, traffic congestion, too spread out, expensive cab fairs

Worcester is not one of the better cities I have lived in. This probably sounds like a sweeping overgeneralization, but once you have seen Worcester, you will understand. Worcester is by no means a pretty sight, nor is it a particularly wonderful place ...

Pros: Fun, lots of compartments and displays to be seen
Cons: -

16 inches doesn't seem like a big measurement until you see it as the diameter of a gun barrel. When you see an identical 16 inch rifle beside it, and a third beyond it, you begin to...

Pros: Everything - the food, the service, the price
Cons:

LOCATION

383 Washington St., South Attleboro, Massachusetts.

DECOR

It's a casual place. Picture red checker table cloths, pig cut outs, and pictures of cattle and blues musicians on the walls.

...

Pros: A family with kids should consider this option.
Cons: An adult with ambitions should think twice.

There's a thin slice of Massachusetts flush with the New York State border at the western end of the shoe-box shaped state. It is one of the few such areas of the US that is not bisected longitudinally by a monstrous throughway or interstate -- there is...
