It’s just the best. I’m chock-full of specific recs for this wonderful place if you want them. It’s beautiful and bite-sized!

For Boston, here are some music recs. A lot has changed as far as food, shops, etc. so I'll leave that up to other folks to weigh in.
For NH and into Maine, it depends on how far north you're going. The NH and Southern Maine seacoasts are amazing, but Acadia National Park is kind of the crown jewel of coastal hiking/sightseeing. Mt. Major in NH is one of the best effort-to-payoff hikes around. Portsmouth, NH is great for walking around and popping into random shops and restaurants. Portland, ME has some of the best food in the country, but there are too many places to even list (Duckfat is a long-standing classic.)
If you have more specific spots or interests, I can add more details!

i went to school in maine! a lot of the coastal towns (rockland, camden specifically) are really cute and fun to drive through during the off-season. much more peaceful…
portland is also great - was recently there and went to the Washington St Baths (like a spa with pools at different temperatures) which was a divine experience. also much better coffee in portland than anywhere else in the NE (including Boston)

I love visiting this park whether it’s clear and sunny or gray and foggy. Different vibes but always beautiful with the iconic rocky coast.
The waves were pretty big today so it was a pleasure to take in the sights and sounds of them crashing in their ebb and flow, washing over the rocks, receding back into the ocean, rinse and repeat.
It’s already breathtaking to be by the ocean in all her beauty and vastness and to be reminded of how small we really are. Rocky coasts like at Two Lights also offer that feeling of smallness in a temporal sense, as we only witness an infinitesimal moment within the grand timeline of coastal erosion, while sitting on the rocks that have been shaped and continue to be shaped by the ocean.
Anyways, highly recommend visiting if you happen to be in southern Maine, healing is only a 20 minute drive from Portland :)

Turns 100 this year!
They love any excuse to party, but their halfway to Oktoberfest celebration is coming up. Sign up for the stein holding competition!
also- DONOVANS PUB in Sunnyside Queens. A very charming Irish Pub that is also a Mets bar. I hear if you visit them after a game and show them your Mets ticket they’ll give you a free beer.

My partner accused me of a murder-su*cide attempt last time I made this because I used 15 Birds Eye chilis.. enough heat to make one delirious.
I follow this recipe VERY loosely. Usually double the sauce, double the green beans. Add red bell pepper. Add king oyster mushroom (diced, salted, water squeezed out).

This is a Google maps list I made of my favorite places to shop vintage, thrift, and resale. Shopping second hand is the way!
