Downtown Hudson has become one of the region’s most vibrant destinations, thanks in no small part to the creativity, passion, and entrepreneurial spirit of local businesses like Rail Trail Flatbread Company and New City Microcreamery.

Rail Trail Flatbread Co.

Who They Are

Rail Trail Flatbread Co. opened in 2012 with a vision: to serve inventive wood-fired flatbreads and craft beer in a warm, community-centered space. That vision caught fire—literally and figuratively—and the team quickly expanded their culinary universe.

New City MicrocreameryIn 2015, they opened New City Microcreamery, an ice cream shop across the street from Rail Trail that uses liquid nitrogen to create small-batch, ultra-smooth treats. Then came Less Than Greater Than in 2017, a hidden speakeasy tucked beside the creamery, known for its elevated cocktails and mysterious, intimate vibe. Their growth didn’t stop in Hudson.

In 2018, New City opened a location in Cambridge, followed by a Sudbury outpost in 2022. In December 2023, they started another chapter by opening the second Rail Trail in Milford, continuing their mission to bring incredible food and drink to new communities.

“We love seeing businesses like Rail Trail succeed,” says Michael Murphy. “They have helped shape downtown Hudson and beyond, and we’re proud to help protect what they’ve built. The food is fantastic, and they are only about 100 yards away from our Hudson, MA location.”

How Murphy Insurance Supports Them

Operating multiple restaurants across several towns means there’s a lot to think about—property coverage, liquor liability, employee safety, and more. Murphy Insurance works closely with the Rail Trail team to provide tailored business insurance and restaurant insurance solutions that protect every location and every team member with coverage tailored to the restaurant and hospitality industry.

What Makes Them Great

What sets the Rail Trail group apart is its unwavering commitment to experience. Every concept is unique yet rooted in the same values: quality, creativity, and community. Their efforts have played a major role in Hudson’s downtown revitalization, and they’re now bringing that energy and innovation to other Massachusetts communities.

“The Rail Trail team brings creativity, hospitality, and community together in a special way,” adds Dennis Murphy. “Working with them and supporting their continued expansion has been a rewarding experience.”

What’s Ahead

With more ideas brewing and fresh concepts on the drawing board, their journey is far from over. What began as a bold culinary vision has grown into a family of businesses that champion local culture and give back to the community. Supported by a trusted partnership with Murphy Insurance, Michael and the team at the Rail Trail Flatbread Co. are promising new dining experiences in the Metrowest Massachusetts area and beyond.
