shopping

’Til You Drop
Where else could you
browse a quintessential
country store, and minutes
later, shop at New England’s
largest enclosed retail mall,
with high-end stores available nowhere
else in the state outside of Boston?
MetroWest is referred to as a shopper’s
world, and indeed, one of the nation’s
first outdoor malls, with the apt title
Shoppers’ World, anchors a threesquare-mile shopping extravaganza
along Route 9 that includes Natick Mall.
Hundreds of national brand stores
and local emporiums make shopping
incomparable.
Leave the driving to the MWRTA, a
user-friendly bus service that stretches
from Marlborough’s Solomon Pond Mall
to Newton’s MBTA station, where it’s a
ten-minute ride to Boston. It stops at all
major MetroWest hotels; downtown
Milford, Holliston, Ashland, Hopkinton,
Wellesley and Framingham; and all
along Route 9. See page 42.
The most modern mall experience features the newest fashions and luxury brands found inside cutting-edge architecture.

Arts & Culture
Art & Soul
In MetroWest we keep one
foot in the past while we
move forward. That’s because the
centuries-old culture of creativity is our
foundation for future innovation. Here,
arts and culture enthusiasts preserve
the oldest New England venues while
enjoying the most modern performance
facilities. Historic homes dating to the
Salem witch trials are within blocks of
the Space-Age McAuliffe Challenger
Center. Botanic gardens feature the
oldest species of native plants; concert
halls showcase the newest musicians.
Art and artifacts are our treasures:
from sculpture to stamps, from dance
to a museum called Discovery, from
watercolor classes to World War II’s
rarest memorabilia, from re-enactors
to recycled objects d’art.
Plan a trip in Metrowest and put our
past in your future.

Playing Around
In MetroWest, we don’t
always mean business!
We balance our high tech with low stress,
and that means that when we’re not
working—or helping you get your work
done—we’re walking, crafting, biking,
kayaking, relaxing, and maybe just
goofing around. In fact, visitors to major
nearby cities find MetroWest the quickest,
easiest destination for unwinding.
Miles of trails and gardens, five state
parks, three major rivers, and two
wildlife sanctuaries satisfy outdoor
enthusiasts. On rainy days, try upscale
walking trails
Ashland Town Forest and Cowassick Woods Trail

the country’s finest indoor facilities for
hockey and soccer tournaments
year-round, and outdoor stadiums
for watching professional match-ups.
Every April, the Boston Marathon attracts
tens of thousands of runners to the

Savor Metrowest
Our region is a blend of all
flavors, because we are
what we eat: traditional New
Englanders enjoying classic American
dishes; native Portuguese speakers
preparing family favorites from Brazil;
descendants of Ireland celebrating
their traditions; international business
travelers satisfying their palettes at the
most sophisticated restaurants; Asianculture enthusiasts savoring the cuisine
of our many visitors from across the
Pacific; and families of every culture
and heritage relaxing at barbeques and
ice-cream stands.
MetroWest cuisine is growing places!
In our restaurants, locally grown
ingredients come together in dishes
representing our residents and travelers
from around the world. Local organic
farms, farmstands, and a dozen weekly
farmers’ markets ensure a supply of the
freshest ingredients for the simplest
and most sophisticated diners.
Harvard’s Sweet Boutique ships its treats all over the world,
but the new Hudson retail store makes them available near as
well as far.

With the unemployment rate
running very low, and the
creation of new businesses
running very high, MetroWest is the economic engine
of Massachusetts. As the
home of Fortune 500 companies and

MetroWest businesses are constantly
creating services with a level of
sophistication and convenience
demanded by visitors and residents.
Helping supply this growing workforce
are two colleges, a university, and two

schools are augmented by prominent
private schools attracting students
from around the nation and world.
