Food Scene
While there are restaurants in Amherst - there are others in Northampton, Easthampton and other area towns.
Best Mexican Food around - we love it. It gets busy, though, so go early or late. They don't take reservation unless a large group. Everything is good there.

This is the local swimming hole. Dogs are permitted on the far side but not on the beach site (state street). It's a fun bike ride or car ride. Early morning swims are my favorite.
