A great place town to visit or live in - 6/21/2014
Newburyport has all four seasons that are fair and great. Spring and Fall is very nice in the Port! Summer can be very hot as much as I dislike it, but I always go downtown and cool off with the cool wind by the river. It can be brutally cold and very snowy here. Back in 2011, we had over 80 inches of snow. But last winter (2013-2014) was one of the coldest winter I've experience and it was very snowy too (little less than 2011, but about 60 inches. It's a nice place to visit to visit during winter. Downtown is an awesome place there, because there are boats by the river and great restaurant. Don't miss

Newburyport Nightlife
I love this city. I lived in Europe for 18 years, and when I came back to live in New England, I briefly lived in my home town of Winchester before discovering Newburyport in 1999. Newburyport has all of the great qualities of a small American seaport, combined with the walkability and atmosphere of some of the European cities I have lived in. I have lived here ever since.
OK, I like good food, and Newburyport has plenty of it. There are some great restaurants in town - I think Ten Center St. is handsdown the best. It has a cozy, pub-like atmosphere in it's downstairs wine bar and an imaginative cuisine. I hear complaints about the service but have never had a bad experience there myself. The waterfront location of The Black Cow is its claim to fame; my personal feeling is that the food is mediocre, but that is not agreed to by all. Another famous waterfront location is Michael's Harborside, until recently great food, but now
