“Market Friday” ~ Walk through the “Main Street of Great Barrington” ~ Massachusetts and lunch, my US adventures 😎 🇺🇸

avatar

Hi all 👋🏻

For my next post in our lovely #community this Friday for the #MarketFriday by @dswigle - Denise.
I will show you my views from walking along Main St in the cute town of Great Barrington on my recent visit to Massachusetts, USA 🇺🇸 the area is the “BERKSHIRES”

‼️If you want to know more about #MarketFriday’s have a look at this post about it: “Falling for the Appalachian Trail: A Market Friday Story” from @dswigle where you find also the rules what to post if you want to join us.

These main photographs are taken with my new CANON R5 with 24 - 105 mm lens 😎 and the photographs from our lunch are taken with my iPhone on 27 September 2022.

Let’s have a look around:

After we parked the car we start walking and see across the street this cute coffee shop.

Walking past all shops on Main Street we see this one was closed and they put some tape / paper art on the window 🧡 that definitely gets everybody’s attention.

We pass by this shop’s garden and see some flowers and a metal sculpture.

We pass by a church.

And are going through the side streets just off Main Street. This clock ⏰ really stands out on the pavement. Even the architecture in the back. So cool 😎

We decided half way the walk that it was time for some lunch, so we went into a little restaurant.

We ordered our drinks and food:

Large cappuccinos are brought.

While we wait for the food to arrive let me tell you were we are.
The restaurant is called “GB eats”

Located on Google maps with the yellow star ⭐️:

Their website and menu you can find here: GB eats Great Barrington

Now our food comes and have a look at this 😊😎

I had the “Pork Bánh mì” what cost $15

Hubby got the “The Classic Burger” with sweet potato fries what cost also $15 + $2 for the change in sweet potato.

I can tell you it was delicious, if you are ever visiting the Berkshires and the town of Great Barrington. Check out this little cute restaurant. 😊

After lunch we walk a bit further around the Main St.

We see on a side street this Performance artcenter.

Some larger buildings with amazing features.

This one is recently renovated… the garden was still bare. They surely did a great job. 😎

Some details of another church we pass by.

It’s beautiful door… with planters on each side.

A very cute house in a side street… 🥰😎

Some red leaves in the sun ☀️ 🍁🍂

The town’s library 📚

And some chairs to enjoy some sun beams on the grass bit of the library 📚

Next to it we look into the street and see rolling hills…

Views across the street.

Another part of the first church when we walk by on that side of the road.

And how can I forget #alwaysaflower 😊😎 these stunning flowers I found in one of the shops windowsill’s 🥰

What brings us to the last photo and that’s all for today’s #MarketFriday post. Hope you enjoyed coming along with me on my latest travels to the state of Massachusetts. 🇺🇸 I will share more US adventures very soon, stay tuned! 😎😊
Until the next one! 👋🏻😎 are you joining me again soon? 😉💃🏻

Thank you for looking and reading 😊 🙏🏻
Any questions or comments, let me know. Always happy to help.

Have a great #MarketFriday all 😎
Grtz Jackie

I love those building architectures especially the church but it was the food that caught more my attention. My stomach grumbles as I haven't eaten dinner because of the thought that I won't it beyond 6PM😂.
Aha, seems Autumn is also starting in Massachusetts.

There is something about New England that I just love. Its hard to describe, but its captured in your pics above. Its like they have a nice relaxed, pretty and quaint way of life !

I love the red and white chairs. I built two a couple of years back, and when I showed them to my wife, she said she loved them, but that we needed 6 - so I then spent the following 2 days building another 4 ! The design of them is just awesome, and fits in with the picket fence look so well ! Seeing them just makes me think of being on vacation !

Lovely pics - thanks for sharing !!!

I know New England has something special. It draws us too. It’s a special way of life for sure. Thank you that you think I captured just that. 😊 that’s wonderful to hear @hoosie 😎

Aawww I love chairs like that. When we get a garden after we move… they are a must too hahaha 🤣
Yes, bringing back memories just by posting it already makes me feel as being on a holiday again.

Thanks, happy to share.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your last days on your holiday. 👋🏻😁

You just spent the day walking in one of my favorite cities, Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Photos of the streets of the main street and the various surrounding streets. I want to thank you for showing me this incredible tour. I think it’s great for the locals to see who lives in their city and everything they do - thanks for sharing

I could use some sun again maybe sitting on one of those chairs by the library or the cute coffee shop or even in the church :D Nice and interesting structures. But most of all, the food look appetizing.

Delicious #MarketFriday! :D

the yellow house with the painted coffee is gorgeous. I would definitely go to that coffee shop! It seemed to me that the portions in the restaurant where you dined were quite small. and the price of 15 dollars is very cheap. orange and blue buildings are very beautiful! judging by your photos this town is very cute 😀

Yes, I thought the same about the yellow house. It was cute.
The portions were not too big and not small. Just perfect for lunch. 😉
We loved wandering around there, thanks @tali72 for joining me on our walk.
Have a great new week 👋🏻😊

Wow! You surely took me for a walk AND took me out to lunch. I do love the New England towns. I think they all have a unique charm, sometimes a little odd or different, but, always a pleasant experience.

I love that little coffee shop! How cute and just the kind of place I could see spending time in. The churches are always nice, but, nothing like the many cathedrals you left back home in Spain. :)

Many of the houses shown are older, but, I find that charming, no two alike and unique features that make them your own. I love the way you and your husband enjoy each and every place you go to.

Lunch looked yummy, especially yours! I have to say that is on the pricey side for lunch though, even for Massachusetts. Unless they have gone way up in price. You do give the best walkabouts!!! I apologize for the extremely late comment! I am thoroughly enjoying your trip!

I think it is important that you know how much I appreciate the time and effort put into posts. Thank you for your participating in #MarketFriday! I enjoy learning about your world and how it is to live in it. I find it interesting to compare standards, but, more than standards, by how we find the quality of our life with different indicators that the world does. It is not always about the wealth in money, but includes many other things including being as healthy as possible, being educated, but, not necessarily in school. I feel like a person is educated if they aquire knowledge and use it for the better good and happiness of the society they are living in. It is with great pleasure that I read through this and all of the posts, with these thoughts in mind.

I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you and your piece of the world just a little bit better. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, I especially love the small things in life and make a point to give them notice. Life has been interesting for me this week, and I hope your week has found you happy and healthy, as we all look to prosper in our way of life.

I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Please take the time to read a couple #MarketFriday posts and leave a genuine comment behind. It is important to interact within the community, allowing for others to bond with each other. The fun is in getting to know people and making a positive contribution to community life. I am pretty sure that is why I joined Hive. All this fun and money too. What if not to love?


Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:


Rules of the Road to Join #MarketFriday!


  1. Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service. It can be a movie, an auction, or even a museum. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or product.
    Take pictures! Be creative!
  2. Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy? How much did it cost? Was it expensive? Did it go up or down? A scroll of pictures with few words doesn't usually work.
  3. Post the pictures. Of course, you should tell a little bit about the ones you post, it is too difficult to guess about some.
  4. Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post (#hive-196308) This is not required but appreciated.
    PLEASE Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it!!
  5. Following me and reblogging the post would be appreciated, but not a rule, more vision for more views on the #MarketFriday posts!
    7. You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere on your post.

As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!

Great you came along Denise 😊👋🏻
I like the New England towns too. There is a certain charm about them.
Not all but most are just so charming. You think like me I hear.

Architecture wise you can’t compare it with Europe and it’s history. But I think it is still beautiful. Especially as we are not seeing it often. It was like a whole new experience. We haven’t been to New England before. Yes of course other states. But they are so different.

I think I prefer the older houses as there you find the character. That is my biggest draw I think. I’m not a modern looks kind a girl hehehe 🤭 it needs to be quirky… lived in… so you feel the house.
We really love traveling and discovering. We explore all. Not the kind of people that would go to a beach town and just sunbath all day, nope… hahaha gives us adventure every day.
Best to do when one wants to get the feel of an area. Go off the beaten path, mingle in with the locals. And have fun 🤩

Hhmmm most lunches were around that price and even up. I think it must have gone up than. Like everywhere, prices keep rising…
Thank you so much @dswigle 😊👋🏻 No worries, I know you are busy…
Have an awesome Tuesday. Hope you enjoyed Halloween 🎃
Happy HPUD 🥳🥳🤩😎😊 let’s make it count today! (Going to cross 5k later today after the power up (waiting for a reward first) 🥳🥳🥳 aiming for dolphins before the end of the year… yay getting close)

That is awesome! It is always exciting to cross over to another! A dolphin! Yikes, you are moving! The sharehouse is off the beach, but, in a section of Virginia that still has a lot of history from the last century. My house has the original sink, and all the doors and fixtures from when it was built. The floors are original, and even have sleeping porches where people slept in the hot summer. I Love the older homes and it is where I grew up. Of course, I am from New England, no wonder, right?

Not all New England towns are charming, just as you said, but, enough to keep me falling in love with it. I cannot even begin to compare it with Europe. Europe was like living in a history museum. I loved it and cannot imagine ever moving away from it. But, some of the changes here and there have corrupted my feel-good mentality. ;)

I'm appalled at the prices. I haven't traveled as much back home since COVID, only a few times a year. But, it has loosened up. I am looking forward to what they have in store for you!

I wish you luck on that but, I think wherever it is, whatever you do, it will just be another adventure! ❤️

Yes almost… just a little bit further. Hopefully before 8 December 🤞🏻🍀 than I made it under 1 year on Hive 🤓 exciting times…

Aawwww that sounds gorgeous. Such old features and details in the house. Wonderful.
Of course you love the older homes when you grew up there 😉🥰

I know… so many things changed in the last years, everywhere in the world actually. So it is pick a place no make the best out of it. Ok ok… we can’t really pick. Now Scotland and Ireland popped up in the conversations hahaha that’s a 180 degree turn around. We will see. Company changes… “sigh”
One would be easy the other one is a bit more complicated after Brexit for me. Hubby would have no problem he is British.

It’s a shame everywhere it seems to be increasing… a lot.
Thank you so much Denise 🤗🤩 exactly like that… wherever we end up. It will be a new adventure and all is fine. We got used to it by now… changes.
Let’s make the best out of it. I will keep you posted 😉
Have a great day further @dswigle 🤗🥰
