The Big Easy, NOLA

New Orleans! The Big Easy! A lovely time of year to stroll the French Quarter…

There is so much activity going on in this vibrant city day or night. Jackson Square is the center of the quarter, and has tons of fun people watching. You want to start your day at Cafe du Monde, for a little Beignet and some great coffee. Enjoy a beautiful view of the St. Louis Cathedral.

Bourbon Street with its Jazz is a must – coming out of every window and doorway, you’ll hear the tunes of the old Southern Jazz. It’s like having your own soundtrack while you walk down the street!

Royal Street is another fabulous street of antique shops, galleries and boutiques! While you’re in the French Quarter, be sure to head to the National WWII Museum, it’s one of the best in the United States.

Take a Streetcar up Canal Street to the Garden District and stroll around. Be sure to stop at Commander’s Palace, one of the Brennan Family’s best restaurants known for their incredible bowls of gumbo.

Finally, it’s really a treat to take a relaxing paddleboat or riverboat cruise down the Mississippi River for an afternoon.

So whether you’re strolling the French Quarter or the Garden District of New Orleans, or you’re in West Palm Beach and you’re strolling down Clematis Street, remember, it’s all about style.

Bonnie’s Spin on The Berkshires

The Berkshire Mountains, in the Western part of Massachusetts, is a wonderful place in the summertime, and incredible for the fall foliage.

You can ride your bikes, go on hiking trails, river rafting and more, but the big attraction is really the farm to table foods at all the incredible restaurants. Enjoy the best of both worlds by taking a bike ride followed by a bite to eat downtown!

Head to Tanglewood if you want to see the Boston Pops Orchestra! You can also check out Herman Melville’s Arrowhead Museum in Pittsfield, the Norman Rockwell Museum, The Crane Museum of Paper Making, and many other cultural as well as historical sites to suit your interests.

Jacob’s Pillow is an incredible company of dance programs, and the Williamstown Theatre Festival can’t be beat! In addition to dance and theater, Williams College has an amazing museum of art.

For a fun outdoor family activity, catch Flicks Under the Stars in Williamstown on Sundays all through July and August. Also, the Clark Center Walking Tour is happening weekly through September on their campus, and you can register here.

There are some wonderful Farmer’s Markets. The North Adams is one of the best, providing fresh locally produced food to the whole community. The 44th Adams Agricultural Fair is one of the best area events open to the public.

Don’t miss the Milham Planetarium! A fun outing for the entire family, this educational experience is free on Tuesday and Thursday evenings through August.
