A beautiful historic inn in the center of Sturbridge. It has a restaurant (fair) but the bakery is to die for. The best I have been to in the New England area. Try their sticky buns--but really you can't go wrong with any of their bakery items.

Rovezzi's
2 School StMy favorite Italian restaurant in the area.

Shopping
There are many antique stores in Sturbridge and central Mass. Being an antique buff myself, I usually visit antique stores when I am in a new area/state. This is by far the best I have ever been in. Very fun to walk around.
