Lenox Ma: You don’t have to wait for the summer for great concerts in the Berkshires. On Saturday, May 10th, the Aston Magna Foundation http://www.astonmagna.org/astonwinter.html will have a concert featuring music of Purcell and Handel. It will be held at the St. James Church in Great Barrington. This is a really talented group of musicians, and the concert is at 6 PM, so you’ll have time for a leisurely dinner afterwards. Here’s our list of recommended restaurants http://www.brookfarm.com/dining-lenox.html. Hope to see you soon!

We had a great lunch today at Firefly, one of the fine restaurants in Lenox. Firefly has just started serving lunch every day, although it has always been better known for its dinner menu. The lunch - a variety of salads, soups, wraps and their fabulous kettle chips - makes a relaxing break in the middle of a hectic day of sightseeing or shopping in town. Try it, next time you’re here.
