Located DEEP in the woods, but worth the trip! A former brothel and speakeasy, it is now a great restaurant that features local singer songwriters in the lounge. A Berkshire legend!

Not around the corner from me, but a nice little museum (and the aquarium is a godsend if you have kids on a rainy day). Not too far from Tanglewood if you want to hit it before or after.
