Hot Chocolate in Paradise,
what could taste better?

Coming to Northampton for the run ? Why not make a festive day or weekend of it. Stay for lunch, a coffee, holiday shopping, a tour at the Smith College Art Museum, the lighting of the tree in Pulaski Park, and more…

Northampton, Massachusetts
"This small city offers more restaurants and shops, certainly more galleries, theaters and performance venues than most urban centers dozens of times its size. Add two rivers, mountain views, landscaped parks and meadow walks, and you begin to see why people call it paradise." Boston Globe
