A bit pricey but all food is local and very well made. Also, they have Abandoned Building beers on tap and a nice wine selection--probably the best upscale restaurant in Amherst.

"Books you don't need in a place you can't find." It's a bookstore with restaurant, cafe, and pub built in the place of an old mill. Picturesque waterfall...excellent place to see and hangout, especially in Spring and Fall.

Sightseeing

The most stunning views of the entire valley around. You can either drive up or hike up--but the hike is steep. Lovely, but steep.
