The Berkshires in Western Massachussets is home to many delightful small towns and villages. Only 3 hours drive north of New York City, spend a weekend (or a week) amongst beautiful green mountains, visiting Tanglewood (summer home to Boston Symphony Orchestra), Jacob’s Pillow, Barrington Stage Company, or Berkshire Theatre Festival, to name a few. Or in the fall, see the glorious leaves change colors and enjoy the many boutique shops, hotels and world-class spas this beautiful part of the world has to offer.
