Print Story | Email Story

North Berkshire restaurants will once again have the opportunity to showcase their good “eats” during North County EATS! Restaurant Week 2015.

In its second year, North County EATS is a traditional restaurant week, celebrating the fantastic culinary delights of northern Berkshire County, including restaurants from Adams, North Adams and Williamstown.   

In a continued effort to encourage area locals and visitors to dine out in the Northern Berkshires, the Williamstown Chamber of Commerce, the North Adams Chamber of Commerce and the North Adams’ Office of Tourism and Community Events have collaborated to create North County EATS.


To mix things up a bit this year, North County EATS will include two Saturdays in the “week-long” event.  Because so many participants wanted to take advantage of all of the delicious opportunities, the organizers have extended the event to include an extra day.

Beginning on Jan. 23 through Feb. 1, area restaurants will offer a variety of prix fixe menus to please any palate and wallet.  Participating restaurants have selected special menu choices ranging from price points of $5-$30 (in increments of $5) for breakfast, brunch, lunch and/or dinner.  

All participating restaurants and menus, as well as information on participating in or sponsoring the event, can be found at www.NorthCountyEats.com and on Facebook.

Dalton Planning Board OKs Gravel Company Permit

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Planning Board approved the renewal of Nichols Sand and Gravel's special permit for earth removal. 
 
The company, located at 190 Cleveland Road, operates a gravel pit there. 
 
The hours of operation will remain 7 to 4 p.m. The commission approved owner Paul Nichols' request to allow trucks to depart the property in either direction. 
 
Nichols has to apply for renewal of the special permit every year. The previous permit required the truck to exit the property to the right.
 
It makes more sense to go left if truck drivers have to go to the Pittsfield area, Nichols said. He has talked to the residents in the area and they are agreeable to the change. 
 
Former residents requested this stipulation nearly 16 years ago to reduce the number of trucks using the residential street to avoid disturbing the quality of life and neighborhood. 
 
There weren't any residents present during the meeting who expressed concerns regarding this change.
