Headed back to the Berks, RIP Trader Moe's. (Let's go to the Tavern!)

Guess where we're headed this summer? Western Mass, anyone? Jimmy will be performing at the Berkshire Theatre Festival again, continuing his practice of Musical Theatre Dentistry this time in Little Shop of Horrors - and besides sweet notes and sadism, you know what that means: More visits to MOE's! But Josh Cohen, always an innovator, had another another offering rather close to Moe's Tavern that we need you to remember heading into the Dog Days...join us in looking back at - Trader Moe's. Cheers!

Update: Sadly, Trader Moe's has closed just a few months ago... but Moe's Tavern is still going strong. Join us at Moe's!

We're headed back to the Berks. (And MOE's!)

It's not often that we hope to go back to a particular Craft destination... oh, who are we kidding, we hope for it all the time. But there are so many other tremendous places to visit, and more every second, that it almost doesn't seem fair to go back to a place when there are so many more to discover; there are only so many hours in the week. However, sometimes, 'The Work' orders us to places, and we just have to go.

That being said, Jimmy is heading back to the Berkshire Theatre Group this summer for the first time since 2011. Perhaps one of the prettiest (and during the summer, the ARTSIEST) destinations in the mountains of the East Coast, the Berkshire Mountains are home to great theatre including BTG, Williamstown, Shakespeare & Company, and Barrington Stage: 

Always great to be headed to do a fantastic show with old friends, and new ones yet to be made. And if we're in Western Massachusetts, THAT MEANS WE'RE HEADED BACK TO MOE'S TAVERN, one of the most stupendous Craft Bars we've ever been in. (And that is saying something!) Here's our coverage from the visit 4 years ago:

We can't wait to see what other Craft Destinations have sprung up in Western MA since we've been in residence. What's new in the area? Got a line on a good new bar, Craft Maker of some kind (any kind, really!) or destination? Give us a shout in the comments below. And here's to Musical Theatre in Very Pretty Places. CHEERS!
