Food Scene

The breakfast sandwiches are delicious! Make sure to call your order in, because the line at the deli can be really long. Also, this is a great place for getting good produce!

Antonio's always wins awards for their delicious pizza and it deserves it! You can go in for slices, if you want the true Antonio's experience. You'll be packed in with all the college students clamoring for a slice, but it's worth it. On Friday nights they have $1 cheese slices. We usually order a whole pizza to go, to avoid the crowds. Simple cheese is one of the best, but all of the toppings are good! If you want to enjoy their pizza, but want a sit down experience, try their Belchertown experience. They have a nice outdoor patio.

Best Mexican food this side of the Mississippi! It's a must try! There is almost always a line, however, and you can't make a reservation for less than 6. But if you're up for a wait, definitely check this place out. You can also order take-out and take the food to the Moan and Dove (BYOF bar across the street).

This is a beautiful spot to go have coffee or lunch! It's in an old mill, so you sit and watch the river flow by. There's also an old book store above and you can bring you books down to the cafe or brink your coffee up to the book store.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is one of our favorite bars. They are BYOF (bring your own food) and we often get take-out from Mission Cantina across the street and bring it here. The bar serves mainly beer, but they always have a delicious cider on tap and a few wines.
