If you like sushi, this is the place for you! Baba is located in a small, unassuming building right on Park Ave, but once you step inside, you'll be wowed by the food! Be sure to make reservations because there aren't many tables.

Pizza, pizza, pizza! This place is awesome, especially if you love authentic Italian wood fired pizza. This restaurant is located in a former Buick Dealership, so it's a great place with lots of history.

Sightseeing
This is a really cool monument situated in a residential neighborhood at the top of a high hill with great views overlooking the city. You could live in Worcester for years and never know this was here, but I think it's a great spot to visit!

I don't even personally love art museums but this place is awesome! They have a huge Italian tile mural flood that's a must see as well as an exhibit that specializes just in medieval suits of armor - really fun to see!

This is one of the longest natural lakes in the world (I think!). It's a great place to watch regattas over one of the long bridges connecting Worcester with Shrewsbury.

If you are looking to stroll around and take in some nice scenery, you should check out Elm Park. It's a really old and well maintained park near the center of the city that's filled with families and children during the warmer months!

Located about 20 minutes outside Worcester, Wachusett Mountain is the tallest point in Central Massachusetts and it's a great spot for a hike on a nice day and has gorgeous views once you reach the summit. Don't worry, the climb isn't too difficult!
