Food scene
Some of my favorite restaurants
One of two amazing pizza houses around the Wigwam. Must call ahead for pick up. This one is next to Mo' Fudge Factory (ice cream, baked goods and fudge) and across from the Bridge of Flowers so it makes for a wonderful day trip to visit beautiful Shelburne Falls.

This is our go to place for comfort food and we've had just about everything on the menu. Wayne loves their boneless chicken wings and burgers while I can't get enough of their fish & chips (ask for sweet potato fries instead!)! Their buffalo chicken wrap and fried pickle is also really good. In the winter we'd like to get a table by the fireplace and in the summer we'd always sit outside.

Owners John and Lori have run this place for over 30 years. We love their prime rib, diamond steak, shrimp cocktail and buffalo wings! The view of the sunset is second only to the Wigwam Western Summit but you can't beat the steak and fries!

This is a well kept secret in Norther Berkshires. The food is authentic, the service superb and the margaritas are to die for! Get the Nachos with chicken, the Carne Asado, and the Fajitas! You'd think you've gone to south of the border and yet you're still in Williamstown!

The greatest addition to the dining scene in Adams since May 2022. We love their small plates and drinks - you've got to try the "Man Candy" and Comeback Mac & Cheese with a local beer! Tapas style and you won't get tired of chef and owner Xavier's new creations! They also have music on weekends.

If you love Mediterranean food you will want to try their babaghanoush and hummus. They have wonderful GF and vegetarian choices and in the summer we love sitting outside while people watching. Any of their Kebabs and fish (salmon) are excellent!

This is the most elegant place in Northern Berkshires. They have a seasonal menu and I love their braised ribs and pork chops when they have them. Wayne loves the fish dishes (especially the salmon). I did have their ramen which I don't recommend. Go to a noodle/Asian place if you want noodles but do make a reservation if you want to impress. You won't be disappointed!

Museum
One of the best museum of modern arts, the Mass Moca is a must see!
Awesome contemporary art museum that needs no introduction. Wayne personally doesn't want to go anymore but I drag him there at least once a year to see different exhibits. It is one of the largest contemporary art museums in the US and for good reasons. I always like the Williams Collge Colorful wall art and the Light Exhibition by James Turrel. I always feel happy when I see the Milky Way display

Located in Williamstown, home of William's College, this is also a must see during your visit to the Berkshires. This is one of my adult daughter Emily's favorite place to hang out when she comes home. They have such a great collection of art from world famous artists like Rodin, Renoir and Monet and Sargent. Sometimes visiting these pieces is like visiting an old friend. We also love the hiking trail behind the museum. You can see the beautiful Berkshire hills, visit the smart cows and see several outdoor art installations. Their gift shop also is classy and Emily ended up getting me xmas presents from there two years in a row!

We went there for the history and fell in love with their animals! We visited with their piglets, goats and saw the most impressive turkeys. The gift shop was also very nice and in all a great place to spend the day in the country with beautiful view. Photo opp at every turn - it's also fun to visit the various workshops to see how blacksmith used to make nails. This is a stop fun for people of all ages especially children.

This is basically our backyard. Walking distance from the coffeehouse via a private connector trail and it's not to be missed. a 1.5 mile (RT) from the Wigwam takes you to sunset rock. For those more ambitious hikers go to Spruce Hill (5 MI RT) and you will be treated with the most beautiful lookout on a rock ledge. You will pass the Yoda Tree (you can't miss it!) about 1 mile into the hike.
