Help with info on Berkshires?

Bob, thanks so much for the link. The website is great. It's much better than what I found via RCI's link.
 
If you're driving over from Albany, take Interstate 90E out of town about 5 miles, and then get on U.S. Rt. 20 East. This takes you through Lebanon, NY, and then over the mountains and brings you right into Pittsfield, Mass, in the heart of the Berkshires. A gorgeous drive in all seasons.

About a mile or so from the intersection of Interstate 90 and U.S. Rt. 20, you hit the intersection of U.S. 20 and U.S. 9. There is a real good cafe at the southeast corner of that intersection. They are well know for their great chili and soups.

Once you are in the Berkshires, don't miss Natural Bridge State Park, in North Adams, and also Hickory Bill's BBQ, also in North Adams. Somewhat pricier but well worth it is the Dakota, which is on the east side of the road between Pittsfield and Lee.
 
Aldo, thanks for the update. I'll print this today.
 
Berkshires it is....suggestions to other cities/towns???

Hi Tuggers,

Thanks so much for your help. We booked into the Vacation Village after everyone seemed to recommend it and we are booked for the end of August through Labor Day. Aside from Rockwell Museum and such, we like to take day trips to Woodstock VT, etc.........but that's about all we know aside from a very long drive to N.Y. City of 3 hrs......is that worth it? What other quaint towns or things to do would you all recommend for a first trip? Bill:confused:
 
If you would like to do something extremely different and very interesting, visit MassMOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) in North Adams, MA. My husband and I always find very fascinating exhibits there. However, you must go with an open mind, since many of the exhibits are close to performance art.
 
Just to let you know, there is an article on the Berkshires and MassMOCA is featured in the May/June edition of the RCI magazine.
 
Does anyone have a map of the units? Which units have the better view. I have Martin Luther King week booked and would love a view of the mountain :)
