I’d recommend a few days with all there is to do here but if I had to pick a ludicrously packed one-day itinerary of greatest hits:

  • 8AM: breakfast at one of Worcester’s famous and historic diner cars
  • 9AM: walk around Crompton Collective and Worcester Public Market and grab a coffee and pastry at Birch Tree Bread Co.
  • 10:30AM: visit the incredible Worcester Art Museum
  • 1PM: lunch at Armsby Abby
  • 2:30PM: quick brewery hop from Redemption Rock to Wormtown to Greater Good
  • 5:30PM: dinner at Mercantile or Bocado
  • 7:30PM: ice skating on the common
  • 9PM: cocktails at Steel & Wire which you might recognize from American Hustle
  • 10:30PM: games at Free Play
  • 12:30PM: a few beers at Ralph’s or Vincent’s to end the night

You can also catch a Railers game or show at the Hanover if those are happening while you’re here.

There are people below who think there aren’t good things in worcester. They’re miserable and don’t leave their house and would have the same complaints anywhere else, don’t worry about them.

I'm usually one of those GAs (grumpy assholes) who was prepared to respond with some bullshit snarky response, but your itinerary was so damn good I've packed that away (will save it for when the incessant, relentless and annoying AF fireworks begin in a couple months).

In the meantime, yeah, Worcester does have some cool shit to do for an out of towner.

Add in the Worcester Historical museum, swap out Armsby Abby for the Boulevard Diner is $$ is tight, and avoid Worcester if there is still snow on the ground and Kelly Square AT ALL TIMES, and you're good to go.

ha ha ice skating on the common.. among the tumble weeds blowing down main street. Our museum is ok. You would be better off at the Worcester antiquarian society that is world class. I would not recommenced waking around anywhere.

I’ve been to skating on the common 3 times and it was packed with families every time, even while it was snowing. You sure you’re just not allergic to having a good time?

ya most likely all city employees... And no not allergic to a good time. I went to school in Main South and that was in 79- 81 and while the redesign of the common area is refreshing I do not see any big difference or any real signs of metropolis. I hope it is packed as you say but some how I don't think that is so.
