The Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show, or "Springfield Train Show" as we all call it, is…read morethe largest train show in the United States. Per their recent brochure, it is over ten acres of exhibits all based on railroads of some sort spread out in four buildings at the "Big E" Exposition center. You will find dozens of model train layouts in all scales; hundreds of tables of vendors selling books, magazines, model trains, real train memorabilia, food, toys, clothing, and anything else related to trains; railroad museum displays; railroad safety exhibits; vendors and train manufacturers showing new models; modeling clinics; and anything else you can thing of. There are special things set up for the kids, like clowns and singing and balloons and face painting. It is a sensory overload of anything having to do with trains. To try and see it all in a day is impossible, even for the best trained (see what I did there) visitor. I have been going for 15 years and even if I rush I still miss stuff. Before Ebay, it was the best place to find old trains. Now, it is still a great place to get a good deal on old trains. Coming here is the highlight of my year!

Great food and great staff! Reasonable prices as well. Try the Rueben, chicken Marcella!read more

Have been to the restaurant 4 times or so over the last 2 years. Tried giving it multiple chances…read more Service has been very poor each time. Ranging from unpleasant staff to staff that has zero interest in being there. Most recently, we waited close to 20 minutes with no waitstaff - had to go back to the hostess station to find someone because it seemed they forgot they gave us a table. The family next to us went to the bar to ask for a drink because they didn't get a waitress either, only to be told to return to their seats (and we watched them wait another 10 minutes). When leaving we noticed someone else do the same. This has happened to us on multiple visits. It's not due to being understaffed or over busy, just poorly managed or poorly trained staff. Food has always been fine, atmosphere is good. But service has been so poor that it ruins any chance of a positive experience.

If you want to know where your food is coming from buy from this farm. I walked away feeling…read moreconfident that the meat I would enjoy was respected and is "organic" and "grass-finished" like it should be. There are so many loopholes to "organic" and "grass-fed" and knowing the difference. A number of certifications and info was talked about as soon as we walked through the door. Very passionate farmer who wants you informed and is proud of her product. Our first visit we purchased $150 dollar worth of meat,lamb, goat, and beef. The beef patties I purchased while cooking smelled buttery and almost like popcorn. Really delicious. Willl only get my organic grass fed meat from this farm going forward.

From the start we were provided a tour prior to booking along with all of the props we could potentially rent for the party. The pricing and communication is clear, transparent, and extremely organized. Giovanni was amazing as soon as we pulled up to start decorating. He was so helpful and attentive. The party was amazing, and the kids had a blast. I highly recommend using Boston Studio Rental and I look forward to my next party. My only regret is that I didn't get enough photos of the beautiful space during the party.
