Cisco Brewers New Bedford
Our absolute favorite spot in our neighborhood (and one of our favs in the whole city!). Fun beer garden for both daytime and nighttime drinks right out on the water. They also have a great restaurant inside with many food options!
Ground Floor Coffee
Located directly next to the venue, and perfect for a quick caffeine boost! Their cold brew is strong and delicious. Our go-to coffee spot in the city.
The Baker - New Bedford
One of our favorite cafes in New Bedford! We love their pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and focaccia pizza.
Tia Maria's European Café
A great breakfast spot right in downtown New Bedford! They also have great seasonal lattes and authentic Portuguese food.
The Whale's Tail
Tori's favorite chowder in the city! The perfect spot right on the wharf for a quick drink or seafood meal. It's more upscale sister restaurant next door, The Black Whale is also amazing.
PLAY Arcade
One of our favorite places to go out in downtown New Bedford! A huge arcade bar with great drinks and food. We love a competitive Guitar Hero faceoff here.
Quahog Republic Whaler's Tavern
One of our go-to bars downtown. The stuffed quahogs ("stuffies") are a must try!
Moby Dick Brewing Co.
Craft beer couple approved (bonus for amazing food as well). Tori loves the Quick Eternity and Connor loves the Pulp It. Also best calamari we've ever had!
Candela Cucina
Our favorite Italian spot in the city! The lobster ravioli and house made pistachio ice cream are incredible.
Cork Wine and Tapas
Amazing spot for a wine, cocktail, and tapas with a great patio!
