Dog trails:

Purgatory Chasm (specifically Charlie’s Loop). Ample parking, restrooms, great 20-30min easy hike.

Nick’s Woods, West Boylston trailhead of the Central Mass Rail Trail, Trout Brook, Moore state park

Restaurants:

Chashu is the best ramen, Greater Good for beer and Wednesday trivia; they just debuted a new menu from their new chef, it’s pretty good. Olo’s (across from GGood) is good pizza, so is Volturno for Neapolitan za. Lock50 for brunch.

The Treehouse Brewery is 25 mins and dog friendly. Arguably the best NEIPA on the planet (7 of the top 10 beers on Untapped are Treehouse). Seven Saws, Milk, Redemption Rock are all dog friendly.

Cafe Reyes for cuban breakfast, or Lou Roc’s for classic diner.
