Anywhere that is close to a major city usually gets the overflow of what the city has to offer. In this case, Worcester, Massachusetts is just one of those places. Being the second largest city and within an hour of Boston, Hartford and Providence and only three hours from New York City Worcester has all of the fine dining, lodging and activities that any major city could provide. Worcester is also home to 13 colleges that give the town a younger feel.
One activity to note is the New England Summer Nationals that takes place every summer in July in Worcester. Events like drag racing in downtown, controlled b
urnouts, extreme stunt bikes and of course the “best in show” car judging contest. With car shows come the fans that want to let off some steam of their own and enjoy the local libations.
To appease both adults and children Peppercorn’s Bar and Grill is an upscale Italian eating establishment that is family friendly and also attracts customers who are looking for a cocktail. Worcester sharing its’ fine living theme and a host to over 10 colleges in the area one must expect a good brewery and grill to take the pressures off of school. With 18 TV’s and a casual atmosphere, Brew City Grill and Brew House is one to visit and feel like a local.
Kids have an equal amount of fun to experience in Worcester and the
area with museums, aquariums, science centers, zoos, and of course Six Flags New England amusement park located just under an hour away in Springfield, Massachusetts.
If you’re just passing through and staying a night or Worcester is your final destination for business or pleasure there are plenty of lodging options to choose from in and around Worcester. If you are on business and need to have adequate space for meetings and groups then Worcester can provide you with the amenities. All in all Worcester, Massachusetts is close to everything but far enough away to have its’ own identity amongst all of the metropolitans of the north east.
