Side note, and it may be inappropriate for the list, but avoid Dastoli Real Estate at all costs. Its normally a disc golf course so make sure its off season. Orchard Hill at UMass is great for grassy crossy riding. Again, don't go alone, and expect rocks/roots. Mild rocks/roots, run ups/ride downs, sandy.Įarls at the end of Chmura Rd in Hadley is mountain biking territory. No dangerous obstacles (other than sand, mud, water).Īcross from the Solar Fields in Easthampton there's a little cyclocross loop that's maintained by local teams (afaik). In actuality, its great for off road endurance training. The dirt roads out by the airport are great for ripping around somewhere that isn't a real road with just enough mud to make you feel like you're roughing it. Okay, as for new stuff, I'll contribute as an amateur offroad cyclist: I haven't been downstairs, but the drinks are good and the tables are large enough for any games I bring along.

High Horse in Amherst is my favorite standard bar. Pita Pocket finally put fries and pickles in my shwarma so I'm happy.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a lot of music I'm interested in coming through for the foreseeable future, which seems odd for a decent venue. My recommendation would be to switch to bar service or another seating area during shows (upstairs, if unused). I thought it was weird they wouldn't have bar service during a show, though I didn't like that the wait staff had to come over between songs or even during at times. It was my first time going and the venue was atmospherically excellent. I saw Howard and Horse Feathers at Iron Horse. I've been describing it as a Hogwarts house common room to people (upstairs, at least). The staff seems really chill and I learned something new about spices the last time I went.

I only just found Iconica and its already my new favorite place. Also, the tip is already included in your purchase, so its transparent and streamlined. They have a great cafe, kitchen, outlets, and I can use my work VPN on their wifi something I can't say about a ton of other places. Haymarket is my favorite for remote work. I only just moved here so here are some highlights from the past few months.
