Great selection of homemade ice cream! My favorite, when available, is Mexican chocolate. On a nice day, it's fun to sit at the pond and enjoy a taste of heaven. ;)

My favorite local restaurant! Great food with an Asian flair. The menu is limited but the food is gourmet with yummy signature cocktails.... You'll need a reservation for upstairs dining; the Cellar Bar is walk-in.... My only hesitation with this restaurant is that the acoustics are such that anyone hard of hearing should go early or late.

Parks & Nature
This is a section of the M&M trail that you won't want to miss! It goes along the upper ridge of Mt. Tom and the views are stunning on a clear day! If you have 2 cars, you can park in the reservation and end your walk at the second location on Easthampton Road. Most of the trail is beginner/intermediate but there is a tricky section on the jingle stones which is not for folks who have a fear of heights or are not steady on their feet.

This is a beautiful area to walk/run. The full loop around the reservoir is about 5 miles, but there is also a cut-across for a shortened (about 2 mile) distance.

Arts & Culture
It's about an hour drive to get there, but well worth it! Tanglewood is the summer outdoor music hall for the Boston Symphony Orchastra. You can purchase tickets for "the shed" or "the lawn". Purchase early if you want good seats in the shed!
