11 New Bedford, Massachusetts, Restaurants That Keep Diners Coming Back Without Big Ads

I’m convinced a day to yourself is the best kind of overtime pay. You’ve clocked the hours already, so why not cash them in on a great plate of food?. Here’s my take: the best tables in this harbor city of Massachusetts don’t need billboards. They win people over with scallops from the docks, Portuguese family recipes, and one breakfast spot that opens at 5 a.m.

Pedal a Flat, Paved Old Rail Line Across Shaded River Bridges on This Easy Massachusetts Greenway

Only one road crossing in about four and a half miles. That’s the kind of detail that makes a cyclist sit up and start checking the weather. The path rides on an old rail line, so the grade stays flat and friendly. Old railroad bridges carry you right over a river, and much of the route sits in cool shade.

New Bedford national park, center of city culture, turns 30 | Exclusive

When most people picture a national park, they think of sprawling mountain ranges, towering forests or miles of untouched wilderness. Thirty years ago, New Bedford became home to a different kind of national park, one right in the heart of downtown. Instead of mountains and forests, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park spans 13 city blocks, woven into the streets, historic buildings and waterfront that helped make the city one of the most important whaling ports in the world. Established on Nov. 12, 1996, the park is now celebrating three decades of preserving New Bedford's history and sharing the stories of the people who helped shape the city. Over the years, its mission has grown well beyond whaling, shining a light on the people, cultures, industries and events that made New Bedford the city it is today. "Celebrating 30 years is a significant milestone for New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park," said Laurel A. Racine, the park's superintendent. "It represents three decades of preserving the park's rich history, sharing its stories, and connecting visitors with the people and places that shaped this community."
