Bizalions of Great Barrington for its country pâté, its authentic French bread and its palatable selection of imported olive oils. www.bizalions.com
The Berkshire South Regional Community Center for giving La Beav and her Domo a 70% discount to get their hides into shape. Thank you, Mimi, for your voluptuous sense of humor. It’s fun to yoga with Domo! www.berkshiresouth.org
Thank you, Tuckers Pub, for serving the cheapest, coldest beer in the Berkshires, for always seating us next to the fire and for frying up bad French fries with nothing but good cheer. Sandisfield, 413.258.4945
Hooray for The Other Brother Darryl’s Fish Market with their wholesale prices, take-out fish & chips and for not making fun of Beaver and Domo when they ordered 5 pounds of mussels for two and ate them all up. 276 North Main Road, Otis 413.269.7611
You’re pretentious and you make us wait in line for miniature eternities, but damnit, Janet, Rubi’s makes the best lattés in town. 264 Main Street, Great Barrington, 413.528.0488
A new discovery is the Log House Restaurant in Barkhamsted. The waitresses have perms, the coffee is terrible, the omelettes are supersized and the hash browns do you right. 110 New Hartford Rd., Barkhamsted, CT 860.379.8937
Thank you, Eaglewood Farms-- Keep up with the kielbasa. This small farm is doing wonderfully humane things with meat, though the USDA is trying their hardest to get them to stop. 325 New Hartford Rd, Barkhamsted, CT 860.379.5978
Thank you, Thursday bartender at The Old Inn on the Green. You made little Beaver a real deal whiskey sour. www.oldinn.com
And lastly, thank you fellow members of Little Bully Media for making the exodus from Brooklyn. If we build it, they will come. www.littlebullymedia.com
