You can't leave Amherst without a slice from Antonio's! If you'd like to observe college students in one of their natural habitats, drop by at 1AM on a weekend night when the bars close. It's a hoot!

Literally the nicest family in Amherst. They'll give you free samples while you're ordering. If you like authentic Syrian fare (felafel, etc), you'll love this place.

Sightseeing

If you're walking through the Amherst College campus, make sure to check out the Yushien Japanese Garden. It's a tucked away oasis of tranquility. There are a few signs on campus, but ask anybody on campus for directions. And it's free!
