The 15 Essential Berkshires Restaurants
"There are plenty of excellent bakeries, cute cafes, and upscale pizza places in the Berkshires, but none hold a candle to the Berkshire Mountain Bakery. The main bakery is in Housatonic, sitting in an old paper mill right on the banks of the town’s namesake river, churning out hundreds of bread loaves and pizza crusts using traditional techniques. Stop in for fresh bread or a pizza, sold either by the slice or take-and-bake. Twenty miles upstream, its Pittsfield outpost adds sandwiches, cheeses, and frozen foods to the offerings. Be sure to call ahead or come outside of rush times." - Emma Van Slyck, Stephanie Gravalese
