Brattleboro, climbing its steep hill beside the Connecticut, has a way of being quaint and hip at the same time. What with the Latchis Theatre, a striking authentic Art Deco building that hosts arts and commercial films and live events; fresh, surprising food at the Backside Café and other local eateries; and arts, crafts and events like the annual Strolling of the Heifers in late spring, Brattleboro is a kind of place that makes you feel that everything you want is to be found there if you just poke your head into enough picturesque old doorways.
