The Menu: Northampton, Amherst, and the Five College Area (NAFCA) ReviewWoo Hoo! Anyone who's touched fork to mouth in New Haven in the last year or so will understand how exciting this is for the five-college area. Last year the Elm City got "The Menu" restaurant guide. Now Amherst, Northampton, and even the little hamlet of South Hadley can claim fame in the pages of "The Menu: NAFCA". This one is hot off the press from what I can tell, and I just got my hands on a copy. Sleeker and thicker than the New Haven edition, there's something sexy about that matte purple cover. This one is going in my car for weekend ski trips and summer drives to the Berkshires. If I had a niece or nephew, and I liked him or her, I would lend them my copy for college visits. No, I wouldn't. But I would get them one of their own.
"The Menu: NAFCA" is full of those relentlessly opinionated reviews that make for addictive reading, and the lists section is marked off with a grey bar at the edge of the page--genius! Judging by the text, there are some great finds to explore in the area, but also some *really* bad restaurants. If you're eating in the Pioneer Valley, I hope you don't come upon beans that are an "awful, insipid pile of mush," "a horrible escargot appetizer, dry and unpleasantly rubbery," and tuna tempura that "will make you long for the supermarket freezer." And there are the gems of advice that make "The Menu" special: "it's advisable to turn away from the checkered-dress-wearing horse dolls: such is the stuff of nightmares." Too late. There are plenty of great places to eat around the five-college area, and they're all in "The Menu," (Tusk and Rattle in Shelbourne Falls is a sleeper) but the bad reviews are just my personal favorites--I think it's a symptom of having read too many syrupy reviews of mediocre places.
In short, another great book by this dynamic duo. Goldstein and Murumba are on a roll. Please, may we have another?The Menu: Northampton, Amherst, and the Five College Area (NAFCA) Overview
