4. From Herman Melville Himself….
The City That Lit the World
 "The town itself is perhaps the dearest place to live in, in all
New England..nowhere in all America will you find more
patrician-like houses, parks and gardens more opulent, than
in New Bedford…all these brave houses and flowery gardens
came from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. One and
all, they were harpooned and dragged up hither from the
bottom of the sea."
H. Melville, "Moby-Dick"

5. Why I Love New Bedford

 Great Restaurants (Portuguese Food is Amazing!)
 Fun Bars
 Beautiful Historic Architecture and Downtown Landscape

6. Art Community
 My parents are both artists, they moved to New Bedford in the 70’s for my
father’s job as a university professor.
 They have been very active in the local art scene and helped grow New
Bedford’s art presence
 Every month New Bedford hosts “AHA” night where the downtown is full of art
shows, and various other events such as crafts for children
 The New Bedford art Museum and the Star Store building constantly have
impressive installations
 New Bedford Open Studios has become a bi-annual event where studio spaces
all over the city are made public for shopping and browsing
 Live Music is always an option as there are local acts at multiple venues on any
given night
