My husband and I will be staying at a B&B in Lenox for 5 nights in mid-July. Can you recommend any restaurants in Lenox, Stockbridge, or the surrounding towns. We are coming from NYC and enjoy eating all kinds of food!!!!!!! Also, where is the best place in Lenox to get a picnic for Tanglewood? Thank you.

You had a couple of answers to your other thread asking this same information, NancyD16. If you can't find it, click on your name in this post and it will pull up both your threads.

As for picnic supplies, you won't find anything better than at Guido's Market on route 7 at the Lenox-Pittsfield line, (left side of the road as you head toward Pittsfield.) You'll find gourmet fixings, all set for you to carry out. It is one fabulous grocery store...it'd even beat out a Whole Foods if there were one there. I grew up there, but moved after college. When my mother started raving about her new grocery store I thought she must be getting very very bored...until I went for myself. WOW! It's the most fun I've ever had anywhere grocery shopping with the exception of Bon Marche in Paris! Bon Marche on a very very small scale. LOL

Dear OO, Thank you for the very speedy response. I didn't see see the replies to my other post because I didn't see that it was posted. I am very new at this!!!!! lolol The grocery sounds marvelous and simply yummy!!!

Nancy...you are far from alone. Stick around though and you'll get the hang of it all. Clicking on a person's name at the top of their post brings up everything they've written.

The forum isn't functioning very well today so if you haven't located your thread yet, here it is: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...1&tid=34641545

Another way to locate your post if it has fallen to one of the "back pages" is to type your user name, NancyD16, in the little search cell at the top of the page (although that's not always a surefire way to bring up results.)

I gave you some really good restaurants on that other thread

You made me hungry for the Chocolate bread pudding at the Old Mill ~

All the restaurants sound great. Any recommendations in Stockbridge? We have theater tickets and would like to eat in the area that night. Thanks once again!!

In Stockbridge, the Red Lion Inn, a landmark, has surprisingly good food.
I say 'surprisingly' because it could just as easily be a tourist trap, but imo it isn't. I wouldn't call the food cutting edge, but quiet good and in a pleasant surrounding. They also have a tavern with a simpler menu and both indoor and outdoor seating. If you're going to the Berkshire Theatre Festival, it's a 3 minute drive from the Inn, or a less-than 10 minute walk (but the road is quite dark at night).

We've eaten at the restaurant in the Red Lion Inn--it was very good--not WOW, but very good and the restaurant is pretty. I love their lobby, especially on a winter day...which you hopefully won't experience in mid-July! Also...sit and rock on their porch and people watch. That's a Stockbridge "must do"!

Once again..........TY TY TY!!!!!!!!!!!
