Framingham, MA

From Wiki

[edit] General

Framingham Demographic - Located in Middlesex County.

  • Good location with easy access off the pike, route 9/20/30
  • Town itself is a dump, but surrounding towns are nice.
  • Near the Newton Falls -Riverside stop, which is the last stop for the T out to the birds.
  • Car insurance is particularly expensive here.
  • The mall which borders Natick, it's massive, but suffers from a lack of parking and gets very busy, but it is being expanded.

[edit] Where to Eat

  • Metro 9 Steak House - Located on Route 9, near the mall. The food is excellent, specialising in steak and seafood, main courses between $15-30, $8 for a martini that is well loaded with booze, and good collection of beer on tap for around $5. Worth trying is the duck spring roll for starter, Chicken Oscar for main, and the chocolate cappuccino cake for dessert. Don't need to make reservations, but it is highly recommended as they do get busy, even during the week.
  • Chicken Bones - Located on Rt 135. One of the best places around for chicken wings and lots of free music.


[edit] Places to See

  • New England Wild Flower Society - Located between Rt 9 and Rt 20. This has a 45 acre garden of native plants and is a wonderful family place to check out for a nice walk, open all week and often with a special event such as the giant insect showing.
