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)

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!

some of the most gorgeous views on the east coast i think, my friend and i road tripped up there for a week and i never wanted to leave!! we spent a lot of time at otter cliffs specifically- running and jumping around on the rock formations, stargazing, and just listening to/watching the waves roll across the jagged rocks. we went in the summer but i'm hoping to go back in the fall time to explore other parts during peak fall foliage :)

a lot of people like the 501s, but they are sneaky wide and look silly on longer legs. the 505s are more tapered - i wear ‘em to the office every day. they’re also dirt cheap!

i think this was one of the first albums in the genre, and it still holds up. he also reased an entirely instrumental version of the album 3 ish years ago that is also very good
