Mezze

The combination of the 10th anniversary of the magazine Gastronomica founded by Williams Professor, Darra Goldstein, and an exhibition at the Williams College Museum of Art by Pepon Osorio inspired a day long symposium exploring all aspects of food and definitions of taste. This was the notion of you are what you eat explored to the max.

The popular Mezze in Williamstown is known for locally grown on its varied menu. The restaurant is relocating to a stunning location on Route 7 on the way out of town. Previously that site at 777 Cold Spring Road was home to Jae's an Asian fusion restaurant. Before that it was an upscale French restaurant. Let's hope this is a good move for a culinary landmark.

The popular, upscale restaurant, Mezze, is relocating from one Williamstown address to another. The new location at 777 Cold Spring Road was originally Le Jardin and more recently Jae's. The popular restaurant will remain open in its current location until the transition in early June.

For 2009's Williamstown Film Festival the emphasis is on movies and film making, not what the starlets are wearing on the red carpet. Film makers and film lovers love the Berkshire's version of a film festival since the emphasis is on craft and content, not gossip and glamour.
