New England
New England, a collection of states in a region smaller than Texas, has an outsized influence on American culture due to its historical, economic, and political track record. Given the state of transcontinental travel across the Atlantic (or lack thereof) in light of COVID-19, New England offers the best stateside version of a European-style road trip, as several major cities and small towns with history and variety can be visited in as little as a week.
Storm King Art Center
The pairing of Storm King Art Center on a sunny day in Hudson, N.Y., makes for an outdoor art-lover’s dream.
Yankee Lobster
Up and down the New England coast, you’ll find some of the best seafood this country has to offer. There’s just no denying the lobster rolls and clam chowder. Check out Eventide in Portland for an authentic meal.
Moss Glen Falls
There’s so much more to Vermont than Bernie Sanders and Ben & Jerry’s, if only you’d see for yourself.
Portland Head Light
Somehow this Maine city has remained one of the best kept secrets in America. You’ll see it when you get there.
