I went I think last year and it was pretty underwhelming

I love Worcester but the answer is papa Gino’s. And we should be ashamed.

There's one on the common in June, one in Millbury in May.... they're all over the place. All equally suck.

Find your favorite food truck this summer and follow it on social media. Say Cheese has two trucks and does the Thursday night in Shrewsbury a bunch and is almost always at Tree House Brewing.

That’s America’s Grundle!

I like Indian lake

I still like Greendale. But with Amazon opening soon, who knows

Can’t speak to the winter, but I commute from my campground near there to the city all summer. Drive isn’t bad typically. 45ish minutes +/-

Edit: I rarely hit traffic but I’m also coming through before 7 am.

Northeast CT sucks I used to live in pomfret and unless you like confederate flags and cows your going to die of boredom

You're probably looking at a 45-60 minute ride unless you commute at not rush hour. Unless theres weather or some kind of accident along the way, then its anyones guess.

When I lived in Worcester it was in Quinsigamond village. A lot of older families, young pros, and a really cool African immigrant community. I loved my time there. Super friendly, safe, best access to the pike in the city.

Why in Spencer and not here?

I disagree. It’s not even close to being worth it.

Four of us went two years ago and none would ever go again.

First, it’s five dollars to get in. Okay… I guess, but it seems to me that the food trucks themselves should be paying the rent to the Fairgrounds, not the customers who are there supporting the effort.

Was the food good? No. It was okay, but for all these “specialty” trucks nothing we had was particularly creative or well done.

Was it affordably priced though? No, not at all!! Prices were ridiculous. We tried a number of different offerings from a variety of the vendors. Between entry price and food, probably spent $170+ for a bunch of blasé carnival food served with dirty cans of soda and the cheapest plastic cutlery, napkins, condiments, and paper plates you’ve ever seen.

It’s one of those things that’s a great idea, and if the vendors really tried to deliver quality and value and didn’t treat customers like they were a favor by taking our money and giving barely passable food, it would be great.

But instead it sucked. And if after this review you decide to go anyway, at least you’ve been warned.

This is great news 👍

There is no area with all of this but I’d agree with Shrewsbury st for nightlife + train station

Say Cheese is divine. Highly recommended. They used to do this special with pulled pork and mac & cheese. Forget it, best sandwich ever.

Shrewsbury Street.

Shrewsbury Street has plenty of old school 3 deckers, an old converted factory loft style building, a converted school, and two larger modern apartment buildings under construction if that's more your thing.

Walking distance to a park, gym, hair salon/barbershops, restaurants, night entertainment, arcade, coffee shop, butcher shop, bakery, diner, and the train station. While you could walk, the road to get the actual park is kind of far, but Green Hill Park offers a real secluded escape from the city and is very close.

Super markets you'll have to drive, but it's a five minute drive to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or Shaws.

No, one of the other like eight billion up there. Haha.

Marianapolis?

You should. It's always worth it.
