Dining & Staying
All that antiquing is bound to work up an appetite. And Woodbury offers so many shops, you may very well need to stay a couple days to see them all.
Grab a bite at Marketplace Kitchen & Bar, John’s Café, or a juice at New Morning Market Juice Bar & Café.
Head to Walker Road Vineyards, featuring several varieties of wine, as well as special events like art shows, play previews...even yoga and wine sessions! Then stay over at one of New England’s oldest inns, The 1754 House.
