Answer
Dear jfc, the image appears to capture Dactylus glomerata (orchard grass), a fairly common grass in New England with somewhat one-sided clusters of spikelets on short, stiff panicle branches. If correct, you would find this species to have a closed sheath (the edges of the leaf sheath is fused together into a closed tube around the stem, except at the very summit of the sheath).
