5 Best Restaurants in Worcester, Massachusetts You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Worcester, Massachusetts — a city where red-brick mills line the Blackstone, where the laughter of college students mingles with the wisdom of old-timers, where the scent of garlic, soy, and woodsmoke drifts through neighborhoods stitched together by memory and migration. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: triple-deckers, Victorian spires, and the gentle sprawl of new ambition. Worcester is a crossroads — of Irish pubs and Vietnamese bakeries, of Polish delis and Dominican grills, of artists, nurses, teachers, and families who gather in parks and on porches, sharing stories and meals beneath the wide New England sky.

At old O'Connor's, a menu of legal troubles and $82K in owed taxes | Exclusive

(Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the status of the building.) WORCESTER – A mortgage lender is suing the owners of the now-shuttered O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar, alleging, among other complaints, that they owe thousands in taxes to the city and are not doing enough to attract a buyer. The lawsuit is one of two being litigated against Kyle and Dennis Maxwell, the operators of Carlow Clove Inc., which owns the closed eatery at 1160 West Boylston St. The father and son duo took over O'Connor's in 2022 from Brendan and Claire O'Connor, who had operated the restaurant for more than 30 years . The noted restaurant shut down unexpectedly in March , a week before St. Patrick's Day, due to a damage from a burst pipe, the Maxwells said on social media. Since then, the once-bustling building has sat empty while rumors have swirled about who might purchase the parcel. During a recent reporter visit, the restaurant appeared frozen in time, complete with signage advertising the week's specials. Only a portion of the black wooden sign that reads O'Connor's was out of place, having fallen and now resting against the entryway. "I've heard all sorts of
