Food scene

No gas here but a fantastic, ever-changing collection of necessities, antiques, and objects of interest. Most importantly- it's the place to get ICE CREAM on balmy summer evenings. They also have bicycle service and free air (donations accepted) for tires.

A little bit of everything. Everything from losbter rolls and grab and go breakfast burritos to nightgowns, greeting cards, shovels, lobster forks, kombucha, and paper towels. Worth walking through for the endless variety.

The closest beach to my listing- less than a mile. Rocky coastline (go at low tide for a sandy spot), lifeguards and a daily parking fee if you must drive. Walk to the far end and you will be in Goosewing Nature Preserve- wonderful bird watching in all seasons.

Centuries of history (check out the Whaling Museum) and culture (take in a show at the Zeiterion Theater). There's a great DIY architectural walking tour (through the New Bedford Preservation Society), not to mention cobblestone streets and a working wharf.
