I personally loved WooHaHa and loved everything about The Grid in Worcester. The whole concept is…read moreinnovative and just what a city needs. I hope to revisit. Let's start with the positives. A great comedy show, 3 openers, one headliner $20 tickets. That is a great price. Clean, new modern location. Servers bringing you food and drink. We went to the early show and people were mingling with the comedians after the show. The club is connected to another beautiful restaurant, so there is an opportunity to make a night of it all in one area. I really do like this concept. I liked that it was a newer clean space, that is also a downside for many, A few people joked that they were "playing a conference room" Only one of the monitors worked at a certain point. It did have a bit of that conference room feel. I think comedy clubs can have that reputation of being old, run-down and grimy. A clean feel has an upside, but I suppose does lose some of the charm. In terms of talent, I enjoyed 3 out of 4 acts and would be happy to go back. We live in Providence and it was an easy drive.

Tony and Aurelie Tye are the owners and instructors. They teach several styles of swing dancing,…read moreespecially lindy hop and balboa, and a colleague teaches hip-hop. Most of their classes are in the Newton area. They hold social dances throughout the area and travel to teach nationally. They also sponsor internationally -known instructors to come and teach workshops locally. Hop to the Beat is also well known for BeanTown, a week-long Lindy Hop swing dance camp they put on every summer in the Boston area. I have attended BeanTown twice, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. They bring in great, internationally-known instructors, and make sure your food and accommodations enhance your intensive, albeit very enoyable dance week. The nightly dances go into the wee hours, and you meet fellow campers from around the world (last year, 26 states and 10 countries were represented).

It was my first tim here over this past weekend. And I had no idea this even existed. I only come…read moreto Hopkinton for the Start of the Boston Marathon but never actually spend time here wandering around. This cute art center has different exhibits but the one I went to was all about the Boston Marathon. I had signed up to do the special package which included a 13 min slide show about the history of some of the statues that are on the Boston marathon course and just some history about the course/ race itself. And then there was a self guided tour to see the winged foot statues and some others as well. And there was a coupon for food at the start line brewery included too. The person who helped me get my tour started was very nice and helpful. This space is on the small side but it is very nice and clean. Feels a bit on the homey side. I would come back here for sure to check out other art exhibits they put on when it's not marathon season.

Went there this past weekend to see a blues concert in which 3 bands performed. The show was…read morewonderful and it took very little time to transition from one band to the next. Seating was on a first come first serve basis, but everything was well organized. There was a dance floor in front which was an added bonus. I will definitely go back to check out other performances. For $25, it was well worth it!

On Sunday George Dellomo and Paul Provost put together a Sunday Blues Jam with a featured artist each week and absolutely pack the place!!! The boy was invited for the first time last February and I remember walking in thinking "this is it?"... Eat those words Judi! In a matter of minutes this Podunk Palace was filled with what looked to be the whole damn county! The place absolutely exploded with music lovers and musicians there for the jam. The photo I uploaded was one I took that day. The little kid with Joey walked in with an acoustic guitar in a KMart bag, I thought "how cute.. he's going to play the Best of Barney"... again... the girl is WRONG... that little seven year old calls out Robert Johnson "Sweet Home Chicago" and then plays and sings right along with the professional musicians he's up there with. The crowd went wild and continued to dance and sing along through the rest of the night. What a great atmosphere!!!! The quality of the featured artists is way up there (Joey Vellucci, Lisa Marie and Scott Bronnes among them). It's a total blast and draws a full house every time. If you're in the area on a Sunday drive this is a WELL WORTH IT stop! The Jams are every Sunday from 4-8pm and they rotate the featured artists!!

Though there are general reviews describing Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA, I did not see any…read morereviews / recommendations about their great Brown Bag Concerts held every season. Please note that I am submitting this review as a resident of the greater Worcester area who had discovered these concerts a few years ago. I have enjoyed them and would recommend this event to anyone who is not working during the day (or working evenings, so this works out for myself and my husband) or might be working in the immediate area (and could take their lunch break at the concert hall). These concerts are held in the upper grand concert hall, at noon for about one hour, and they are FREE! Since Mechanics Hall is a NFP organization, they acknowledge at the beginning of each concert that these are made possible by WICN public radio and this past year, they also indicated Bank of America was a sponsor. The radio station broadcasts these concerts live. The next set of concerts will start on March 10, 2010 and they are 4 scheduled concerts in a row - these can be viewed at this webpage: http://www.mechanicshall.org/tickets/brownbag.html The previous set of concerts held during Dec. 2009 was one of the best ones I can remember, which included Syncopation (a cappella vocalists who performed at Boston's Independence Day 2009 concert), Eguie Castrillo & his Latin Jazz Band, Miss Tess & the Bon Ton Parade and the Grace Kelly Quintet. (Grace is an exceptionally talented, young sax player & composer who has played many top venues). Many of the artists will have their own CDs available for purchase at back table. Mechanics Hall sets up round tables in the concert hall itself where people can purchase 'a brown bag' lunch and drink or folks can bring in their own lunch. These concerts were so well attended in Dec. that even the balconies were filled close to capacity. This place has great acoustics, it is elegant and very comfortable. People can leave a donation but there is no admission fee.

Worcester, Massachusetts a little bit of unknown fun and our first time here…read more As we were exploring the area around the convention center we ventured to Elm Street and started walking . The streets are so quiet and peaceful here. Each little event is marked with some sort of celebration of history. Then we found the historical significance museum . We are definitely going in . Oh my, the museum was "free to get in and explore. " Who would have known that Worcesters world was not so small after all . It was interesting to think about. Going all the way back to 1840, the monkey wrench was created by Loring Coe in 1840. Shredded Wheat cereal was created by Henry Perky in 1895. The National Women's Rights Convention was first held in Worcester in 1850 with Susan B Anthony attending. The first Valentine Day cards were mass produced here by Esther Howland in 1847. In 1914 the liquid fueled rocket patent by Dr Robert Goddard was issued the very first one . The "smiley face" created by Harvey Ball in 1963 was kicked off . At the museum here they break down each era of Worcesters beginning and outline what happened in that specific period of time. It a chronological masterpiece. In the displays many things have been featured. Make sure and take a piece home of history with you and visit the small area that is the gift shop. Many items aside from the "Smiley Face," were made by local artists. Thank you to the staff and the city of Worcester for all their knowledge and smiles!

So very fortunate to have visited this museum and have even more appreciation for the Worcester community.
