Things To Do
Norwottuck Rail Trail
For those interested in running or other forms of outdoor recreation, this rail trail is a great option. Rachel Shanor likes to park at Amherst College by the tennis courts and head left on the bike path. If you want more running route recommendations, feel free to text my mom!
Mount Pollux Trail
Short trail with a great view of the Holyoke Range. You don't even need to get out of the car to enjoy the view.
The Montague Bookmill
An adorable bookstore 20 minutes outside of town in an old mill building. There is a cafe in the building with delicious lunch. If you're in a rush, we recommend ordering online before heading up.
Atkins Farms Country Market
Cute country store with famous cider donuts. Their turkey reubens (and all sandwiches you can order at the counter) are really good too!
Flayvors of Cook Farm
Get some homemade ice cream and check out the cows!
Tart Baking Co
Best almond croissants. Other baked goods are good too.
Share Coffee Amherst
Cute coffee place with great breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches.
Amherst Coffee & Bar
Another cute coffee place in town. Turns into a bar at night.
Thornes Marketplace
Main Street in Northampton has some great shops. Thornes is a good place to start.
Joe's Spaghetti & Pizza
A family favorite for dinner. You can't make a reservation but don't let that deter you.
Homestead.
Cute restaurant with great food.
