Was just staring sadly at the boston.com travel section that talked of trips to Hawaii, and came across this article. My bet is you crazy western-mass-ers and conneticutians have already been to the places listed, but who knows…
one place (aside from the fantastic art museam it talks of) sounds nice:

After shopping around Northampton (excellent used-book-and-CD stores, furniture shops, and spectacular people-watching), the light, sadly, begins to wane. But then Joe’s, a hidden, old-school pizzeria, offers its own dusky light, along with wonderful red-leather booths, sweetly surly waitresses, and good pizza spangled with cheese and with tomatoes that have seen their own share of light

mmmm pizzah. I think I am going to leave work soon and stroll over to Reginas :)
