Rural Intelligence FoodDepending on your mood, Lenox can be utterly charming or unbearably la-di-da. When you want no-nonsense food in a no-nonsense environment, the Olde Heritage Tavern provides an ungentrified dining experience in the center of town. Inside, the horseshoe bar is ringed with regulars who seem to represent a cross-section of Lenox’s year-round population. On a nice day, the tables outside offer a front-row view of the sidewalk scene.  While soup and salad sounds like a light meal, it’s hearty one here:  the milky New England Clam Chowder ($3.99) comes in an oversize mug and the spinach salad ($8.49) is loaded with walnuts, bacon, hard boiled eggs and blue cheese. The burger ($7.49) is exactly what you expect from a saloon and the fish and chips are light and flaky. Best of all, you can get always get a drink here early or late in the day. —Dan Shaw
