A coworker took me to this place in Springfield and I keep going back every time I'm in town. The vodka sauce is especially good! (When they ask if you want to add a side salad, though, be aware it's $9 for a plate of lettuce)

Downtown Northampton is full of cute shops, very heavy on vintage/antiquing shops and upscale home goods. Grab a coffee and do some window shopping on Main Street if you have an hour to kill!

If anyone happens to enjoy antiquing, this massive show in Brimfield takes place three times a year. Their summer 2024 show happens to be this week! Entry is free but parking costs $10 per car (I think).
