We love this city. If you're reading this, I'm guessing you do too. I grew up in the town over, took dance classes in Worcester as a kid, and fondly remember recitals at Hanover Theater. I have been immensely proud of this city, watching it grow and evolve over the years into a vibrant city rich with culture, art, and entertainment. Because of this, I LOVE sharing it with friends and family when they come to visit. But what if you only have ONE DAY to show off our favorite city? What do you do? We asked some of our members to share their "perfect day" in Worcester.
Gillian Murphy:
Grab coffee at New Tradition Co. and go and enjoy the city murals or find one of the local hiking trails in the city (Cascade is one of my favs).
Grab Volturno Pizza and stop by Redemption Rock Brewing.
Before stopping through Green Street for shopping (Seed to Stem and Haberdash are open 7 days a week) I’d have to hit Sweet Jane's Designer Consignment.
Round things out at Vincent's Worcester.

Big brunch at Altea's or Livia's Dish, or quick croissants and drinks to-go from Birchtree. If it's nice out, we'll eat in the courtyard.
Worcester Art Museum if w/o kids, or Ecotarium if there's kids in the mix.
If very casual vibes, outdoor sunset dining at Grill on the Hill is a favorite, mostly for the views.
Depending on the day of week and weather, top two dinner picks are Chashu or Volturno.
I check to see what's happening at Mechanic's Hall, Hanover Theatre, JMAC and Off the Rails too, in case it would be a good fit for something extra to do in the evening.
Worcester Historical Museum (which is free in August)
Lunch at Wonderbar
Walk at Elm park
Visit That’s Entertainment
