Dinner and Night Life

Upland Meadows Farm is only 30 minutes from Northampton center and all it has to offer.

Northampton Restaurants - Way too many good ones to list them all here - from Argentinian to Vietnamese - from the "Hotel Northampton" to "Jake's No Frills Dining" - there's something for everyone and every budget.

Northampton Live Music - The Calvin features big name acts in an old-style theatre; you may want to purchase tickets in advance depending on the season. The Ironhorse is a smaller venue in a more bar-style setting. The Pearl Street Nightclub is where to go for dancing. We've also caught some wonderful local talent at the Bishops Lounge, which is the perfect place to relax with a beer any night of the week.

Movie Theatres - There are two art houses in the center of Northampton each playing a steady stream of award-winning films. The Academy of Music theatre is a must-see with its Victorian interior, and huge screen complete with red velvet curtains. The Pleasant Street Theatre has much smaller screens but has a choice of two theatres. You can catch mainstream films 10 minutes east of Northampton on Route 9 in the Hadley Theatre with stadium style seating, gigantic screens, and surround sound.

Shelburne Falls Restaurants - Shelburne Falls is much smaller than Northampton but has some very nice places to eat. Our favorite is the "Bottle of Bread" an elegant but casual restaurant in a lovely old house overlooking the water. If you like Pizza, try "Nicks Pizza" right at the end of the bridge, our favorite is the "mediterranean."

Shakespeare & Company - World class performances of Shakespeare and other playwrites, childrens activities, both indoor and outdoor theatres.
