-Good- but beware valet parking charge
Spent < 1 hour Ferries
The ferry experience is fine- easy to get to the terminal, nice terminal facility with clean bathrooms, loading procedures, smooth fast ride, quick debarking. A little pricier than the Woods Hole ferries but a nice experience. However, the thing that left a bad taste was the cost of valet parking, which I was led to believe would be lower...then i got the bill at the end. Just be aware that they charge PER DAY, so e.g. Fri-Sun is 3 days, not 2. I was led to believe that Fri to Sat was 1 day & Sat to Sun was a 2d day, but actually they count it as 3 days. So your cost can go up quickly. See more..
- 3.5 New Bedford Antiques at the Cove (8 reviews)
-Huge Antique "Playground"
Spent More than 3 hours Antique Shops
My husband and I are always looking for interesting antique pieces. We visited the New Bedford Antiques at the Cove on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. First the size is mind boggling. On our first trip we spent 90 minutes there and only made it approximately 1/3 of the way through. On our second trip we were more focused on the area we wanted to peruse and spent an additional 2 hours there selecting a high back oak bed from the 1880s, (4) aqua leather chairs from 1910, and a peacock upholstered desk chair from 1890 or so. The prices were reasonable and offers were accepted. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The place itself is a treasure trove with items in every nook and cranny! It has become one of our favorite places to browse if we have time as stock rotates quickly. See more..
