   • Even old is new again. “The Berkshire Museum was the only thing that kept downtown Pittsfield alive in the dark old days,” executive director Stuart Chase says, only half joking.
   • Street life is back. Old-timers reminisce about North Street on Thursday nights, when people walked shoulder to shoulder with paychecks burning holes in their pockets.
   • There are fun places to hang out. Also on North Street, Bellissimo Dolce has a classic see-and-be-seen scene with vast plate-glass windows and big mirrors.
   • Something’s cooking. The Lantern, a classic American bar and grill with local art on the walls and ’40s jazz on the sound system, serves an exceptional burger.

   • Herman Melville’s Arrowhead. Author Herman Melville’s (1819-1891) most productive years were spent at this house in the south of Pittsfield. During his time at Arrowhead from 1850 to 1863, Melville finished Moby-Dick (1851), and wrote Pierre (1852) and The Confidence-Man (1857), before selling up to his brother and moving with his family to New York City.
   • Hancock Shaker Village. On 750 acres in the southwest of Pittsfield is a preserved Shaker commune that was active from the late 18th century to 1960. Now a living history museum, the village is still part of a working farm, the oldest in the Berkshires, with extensive fruit and vegetable gardens and heritage-breed domestic animals.
   • Berkshire Museum. Looking like a Roman villa on South Street, the Berkshire Museum was founded by the newspaperman Zenas Crane, opening in 1903. In the style of museums from that time, this attraction is a multifaceted cabinet of curiosity, zipping from fine art to engineering, natural history, zoology and ancient civilization.
   • Downtown Pittsfield (Upstreet Cultural District) Mostly along the broad boulevards, North Street and South Street, Downtown Pittsfield has a real sense of scale for a city of 44,000.
