As long as you can pronounce it (think Wooster, not Worchester) you'll have a blast in Wormtown, home of candlepin bowling and the smiley face. With nine local universities, Worcester knows how to entertain; bars, hip coffee shops, music venues they're everywhere. Millions of fans from all over the world come to the DCU Center to see concerts, sporting events and other performances. Fewer know about the American Sanitary Plumbing Museum, but that's just one of the quirky attractions that make Worcester so enticing. You can stay in a homey suite or a lush hotel room; either way you'll be close to Boston, so make sure to plan a day or two to explore.
