Things to Do

Antiques trail
Fertile hunting ground for antiquers
Great Barrington is an antiquer's dream. Follow our 20-dealer illustrated trail through town, narrated for you by one of the town's principal dealers, Patrice Mullin.
 
Catamount Ski Area
Easy to get to, hard to leave
From NYC, Catamount is right where you first enter the Berkshires. It's "terrain that offers variety for the whole family," they claim. Over 28 trails, skiing and snowboarding. Snowmaking capacity increased this year.
 
 

Places to Eat

Helsinki
Finnish cuisine in capital style
In a central covered yard behind Railroad Street. Ideal for lunch, and for afternoon tea, also a great find for dinner. Pick up a copy of the Club Helsinki schedule -- a treasure trove for nighttime entertainment.
 
Pearls
Great Barrington's finest dining
Regally commanding the far end of Railroad Street, Pearls has captured the Great Barrington spirit with just the right combination of preppiness and steel and chrome. And fine dining.
