Leominster (Massachusetts)

Leominster is a town in Massachusetts.

Understand
Leominster is a former industrial town with a number of National Register of Historic Places-listed buildings that used to be factories — such as for shirts, baby carriages or piano cases — in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and also some from its earlier period as a farming community. Leominster now is a major retail center and houses some people who commute to Worcester and Boston.

By car
From Boston, take State Route 2 West.

From Worcester, take I-290 East and I-190 North.

On foot
Easy enough for downtown attractions. Leominster covers a surprisingly large area though so you may discover that your destination is quite a long walk away.

By car
This is you best bet and you will likely need a car to get here any way. Parking is easy to find and either free or very cheap.

Drink
Leominster is not a major nightlife destination. Most pub style restaurants will have a bar if you really need a drink. Rye & Thyme in addition to being one of the city's better known restaurants also has a well known bar. There's even a basement room. Leominster also has locations of major coffee chains Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks.
