SHOPPING CAPITAL OF THE BERKSHIRES
Great Barrington
At the heart of this urbane and charming mini-city is a small but distinct "district," a bazaar. Interesting restaurants, boutiques, outposts of foreign markets, and that buzz you will recognize from the City or from your travels to bazaars around the world. Here you can enjoy hassle-free holiday shopping, Berkshires-style.

Heading north up Main Street, Railroad Street will appear on your left. DO NOT ENTER. Drive down any street to your right--you will find parking a-plenty--and walk back.
