The Small Town In Massachusetts That’s One Of The Coolest In The U.S.

What makes a town truly “cool?” Well, it has to have some wickedly fun activities, gorgeous scenery and a great atmosphere. There’s one spot in the Berkshires that checks all the boxes and then some.

Here’s why North Adams should be crowned one of the coolest cities in America.

North Adams is definitely one of the coolest places you'll ever visit.

It's home to about 14,000 residents and a million amazing things to do.

What makes this town great is its commitment to keeping things quirky and endlessly surprising.

Stop by Mohawk Theater, a restored 1930s cinema that is part of the fabric of the town's spirit.

If you visit in July, head to the beach right downtown! Over 250,000 pounds of sand are spread curb to curb down the entire length of the central street for a party unlike any other.

Kids can play all day, while adults can hang around for margaritas on the beach and music in the evening.

If you're craving some great local eats, head to Jack's Hot Dog Stand for delicious dogs and burgers.

You can also pick up some fresh treats at the North Adams farmers market.

It runs from early June to late October and is the best place to mingle with locals while scoring delicious fruits, veggies and baked goods.

If natural beauty is more your thing, North Adams delivers in spades.

Head to Natural Bridge State park and explore an old granite quarry complete with waterfalls and picnic areas.

The Hoosic River is also part of the beauty of this area. Old railroad bridges add to the riverscape's charm.

For a lazy summer swim, head to Windsor Lake and soak up the sunshine and incredible views.

MASS MoCA is North Adam's artistic gem, and one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art and performing arts in North America.

There's no denying that this Berkshire town is one of the coolest spots in the state.
