We had the same issue last summer (all over; we visited 27 states). I haven't tried in earnest yet this year, which means we're screwed! 🙈

Bay State Brawlers roller derby has new skaters/officials classes! It's super fun :) also, soccer players are always great at skating footwork.

I adore Dr. Noosha at Gentle Dental Worcester Trolley Yard! The whole staff there is so nice, and very transparent with pricing BEFORE you get work done, which I really appreciate.

Bagel Time!! Sometimes you can order online through Instagram and save a little time, but it's worth whatever wait you'll have. They're the best!

Seconding Bocado! It's not super fancy (some people still wear jeans there) but the food is so good. The small plates are great for sharing and you can try a lot of different things.

Edit to add: happy birthday!

Alannah at Area 15 is amazing, especially if you want to experiment with fun colors. Check out her Instagram to see if she would suit your style!

I adore Dr. Noosha at Gentle Dental (Trolley Yard). The dentist used to give me panic attacks, but she assuaged my anxieties and she's so kind!

We had a wonderful experience with Dave Stead. He works super hard and there's absolutely no pressure throughout the whole process.
