Nothing is open in Shelburne Falls on Monday, so we will probably be traveling to Greenfield or beyond for lunch, but I am not coming up with any ideas for lunch on a Monday. Hope & Olive and Peoples Pint are out. Thus far, all I've come up with are China Gourmet, Mesa Verde, and maybe the Wagon Wheel. Is there something great I am missing? Personally, I am fine with any of these three, but I sense that my mother would prefer something "nicer", only because she is coming out for my birthday. Is there anything in Turners? Thanks for any help you can give. Sat Oct 24 21:46:45 -0700 2009 23908 hilltowner 1 5129510 I know that Thai Blue Ginger is open Monday. They're at 298 Main Street in Greenfield. We had a great meal there. Thai food is very flavorful and satisfying. Might that fit the bill? As for Turners Falls, I've heard good things about Ristorante Di Paolo at 166 Avenue A.

In TF I would try the Rendezvous or the Second Street Bakery. Not sure if either are open Mondays though...

It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but their food is always really, really good. And it was this time as well. Tue Oct 27 07:48:37 -0700 2009 5133508 23908 hilltowner
