The New Bedford Edition of 'Never Have I Ever'

New Bedford, in my opinion, is a cornucopia of food, entertainment and culture. Locals know what's good and what to avoid. Me, on the other hand, I'm still learning the area and all that it offers.

There's no way you'll make it through them all without running out of fingers. Hands up!
