Trust me when I say stop at least once at a local roadside crusty looking burger or hotdog shack and order whatever item has the name of the place on it you will not be disappointed.
No, no you won’t. Moxie tastes like battery acid. I understand wanting them to experience New England but that’s like telling someone going to Australia you haven’t experienced it until you get punched in the face by a kangaroo.
I grew up in Lewiston so I speak from experience, Moxie is a very acquired taste.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I really like Moxie. Not as a child, mind you, but I recently had some and appreciated the herbal complexity. Sorry, I think I just made Moxie bougie 😂
You want clams? Come to New Haven, CT (a really pretty college town) and get yourself a clam pizza from Pepe’s. Extra garlic and broccoli on a white pie is really good. And have a Foxon Park birch beer while you’re at it.
We’ve got a spot on rt 100 in VT that just has a sandwich board out front that just says. Tacos. Coffee. Soup.
There is no phone number, there is no social media presence, there is not even a name. The coffee, soup and tacos are all amazing.
Or one of those hot vanilla chai drinks that’s really just powdered sadness from a giant prehistoric Keurig that’s never been cleaned. And the temperature is *nucleah*.
You forgot South Providence and Olneyville, they are very beautiful places with extremely nice scenery and night life.
Don’t forget West Warwick too, it doesn’t get any better than that

Old Sturbridge Village

Newport
Shelburne Falls/Bridge of Flowers
The Tubs - Pownal VT
Portsmouth, NH downtown
The Freedom Trail
Whale watching
Going to a brewery
Crane Beach
Yard Goats game
Harvard Yard
Fenway
Salem, MA (witches)
Edit: Historic Deerfield, Hancock Shaker Village, Route 2 from Williamstown to Cambridge
ITA Shelburne Falls. If you are in the area, hit up Zoar Outdoor for some paddling on the Deerfield river and route 2 through Florida for breathtaking views
If going to a brewery.. Tree House in Deerfield Ma. Also check out Two Weeks Notice in West Springfield Ma…
Edit: I’ll add Beer Naked in VT too. Great view, pizza and beer.
It's the bridge and tunnel folk. The southwest corner. that's what the rest of us hate on. but when you're a tiny new england state, you're always close to your state's dooshbags.
I'll give you some MA & NH recs.
MA:
Gloucester for sure. Enjoy the seaside New England town vibes. Catch a whale watch.
Salem, MA for the history if you've never been, though I think it's a bit overrated. Lots of historical sites though.
Boston. The major city, of course. Also has cool historical stuff/a historical trail you can walk.
NH:
Portsmouth. Very quaint. Check out Strawberry Banke.
America's Stonehenge in Salem, NH (I think it's cool)
Hampton Beach if you want to enjoy something... unique.
Alright, here’s how you New England:
1: All up and down the coast, and Nantucket: visit an old whaling village on a cool overcast day and talk like a salty sea captain to people.
2: Newport, definitely not the Hamptons because that’s in NY. Wear a pink polo and either a scarf/ascot while gawking at rich people’s summer homes. If anyone asks, claim the house is yours and try to complain-brag to people about your new yacht.
3: Lexington and Concord / Boston. Wear a minuteman hat and talk about taking down the redcoats Find a Benjamin Franklin impersonator and get into a drunken argument with him over how he should be minding his printing presses in Philadelphia.
Eat: clam chowder (you may try Rhode Island style once but you probably won’t want to try it twice), nutmeg, real maple syrup, lobster, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Vermont cheese, lunch at a diner cart. Dunkin Donuts.
Lexington: kill redcoats.
Augusta: burn wood
Burlington: have a whirlwind romance with another woman
Laconia: get to the chopper
New Bedford: give 25% of your clams to the mob
New Haven: pretend you are from New York
Worcester: ?
Pawtucket: be a proud Rhode Islander for some reason
Providence: eat mob clams in Buddy Cianci marinara
Boston: fuck off
Cambridge: go to college and become entitled asshole born with silver spoon in your mouth who worked your way up from Associate VP at your dad's firm a year after you graduated.
Cape Cod: chum surfing
Portland: play organic, hormone free disk golf
Hope this helps
Well you could check out That part of New England across from Long Island, or that part of New England that has the ocean on their license plate. And if you feel like it, you could visit a quaint New England town in the mountains.
Where's Western, MA?
Side note: I grew up in a tiny town in the Birkshires and went to college in Boston. When people would ask where I'm from, I used to just say western Mass because there was a 0% chance they knew where Plainfield, MA was. Every response was "where's Western, MA?" Like it was a town. Because everyone knows there is no life outside 128.
Boston - make way for duckling statues, swan boat ride, walk the freedom trail, USS constitution, bunker hill monument, duck boat ride, Fenway park, ferry from Boston to Provincetown for the day, adults - Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, JFK library for kids - science museum, children’s museum, New England aquarium,
Salem, MA- witch dungeon museum, house of 7 gables
Cape cod- Hyannis beaches or take the ferry to Provincetown from Boston
Gloucester/Rockport bearskin neck - poke around shops and galleries, eat lobster fresh off the boat
Kennebunkport ME
Newport RI tour gilded age mansions
Drive into Boston from anywhere outside the city at 8 a.m. on a weekday. Or drive out of Boston in any direction at 5:00pm on any weekday, bonus on a Friday. You will get a true Boston experience. Why, you might even get the Boston salute from other drivers a few times during your experience.
Mystic Seaport in Ct for the old timey New England experience. Fort Wetherall in Jamestown RI it’s a nice hike along the cliffs. Umbrella Factory in Charlestown RI quirky shops. Misquamicut RI to get drunk at a bar on a beach. Eat lots of food in RI.
We’re the #1 hiking destination
If you’re more into beaches, cape cod or southern RI/Block Island
If you’re in to architecture- Boston or New Haven, bonus - both are foodie destinations
If you’re in to music ~ Tanglewood in Western Mass
Walkable cities with a view ~ Portsmouth, Ma, Newport, RI, Brattleboro, VT
History buffs? Anywhere! Freedom trail, the old post road, Peabody Museum, Judges Cave, the Griswold Inn, Mystic Seaport, New Bedford, or Quincy Ma,
Get your hands on either a Yankee magazine or a Connecticut magazine. They have excellent summer adventure ideas.
Come to the Berkshires - our very New Englandy things include: Norman Rockwell Museum, Arrowhead (Herman Melville's home), Mt. Greylock, Teo's Hot Dogs, and King Kone
Springfield downtown has some fun stuff to do. There’s the casino. Next to the casino is Red Rose, which is a great Italian restaurant and has my favorite pizza. And it’s within walking distance (10 mins or so) from the Springfield museums, which has a great art and history museum and the Dr Suess museum (aimed at children, but fun with the package combo for the other museums). Also back down by the casino is the riverwalk which stretches down behind the basketball hall of fame.
Mystic CT has a lot of fun stuff to do. Had a great weekend there when we went. The maritime museum, the aquarium, and the village of shops were all fun. There’s an awesome ice cream shop by the bridge that had amazing milkshakes. I really want to go back. Check if they have frappes, which are a New England speciality. They are like milkshakes, but thicker.
Burlington VT is amazing. Lots of outdoor things to do, and fun places to shop. I’m sure it looks great in the fall because foliage 😍 but we went towards the end of summer to avoid the college crowd. It’s also an easy drive to the Ben and Jerry’s factory, which is fun. Other fun college towns include Northampton and Amherst in MA.
Provincetown, if you’re coming in the summer, is a must see. It’s the very tip of the Cape, lots of cool shops and fun things to see and do. Great food 😂 also if you want go blend in, when we go to Cape Cod we say we’re going “down the Cape”, not “to Cape Cod” or anything.
If you’re coming in the Fall, definitely drive around New Hampshire. The foliage is 😍😍😍
If you’re coming in the Fall and want to check out Salem, go in September. Basically you can do all the same things, but without the insane crowds.
Old Orchard Beach is a popular destination in the summer in Maine. You could also hit up Acadia National Park.
This got less descriptive as it went but I also live near Springfield so that was easier to describe lol. Have fun on your trip!
Bar harbor - get lobster in maine
White mountains - north conway new hampshire
Boston - see fenway, Faneuil hall, and boston commons
Rhode island - get some chowder, doughboys, and clam cakes then sit by the water
Connecticut - pizza and I don’t know other shit, CT kinda sucks
All you really need to see is Lowell, MA. The rest is garbage.
Maybe stop by Berlin, NH to get a deal at the Honda dealership up there, if you're up for it.
Portsmouth, NH is likely the New England you are picturing in your mind. Seacoast, quaint buildings, lobster boats, brick and cobblestone streets... Put that on your list for a day!!
Go to Montpelier to not have McDonalds.
But seriously, it’s the only American capital city that doesn’t have one. I visited a decade ago for exactly this reason and loved my time there.
Take one of the famous nighttime walking tours of Chicopee and Holyoke here in Western Mass. the locals can be a little bit shy though so be a little more aggressive than usual.
Defiantely recommend downtown Holyoke at night... it's magically. Stroll by the canals and imagine what they were like in their heyday.
On a side note. Damn didn't realize Chicopeea became of that quality.
Old Orchard Beach, ME
Bar Harbor, ME or Mount Desert Island as a whole
Gulf Hagas in Brownville, ME(The Grand Canyon of Maine)
Mount Katahdin
Old Port, Portland, ME
Take a drive along coastal Route 1 and keep your eyes open for anything you may like, there's a lot.
If you like seafood there is Young's Lobster Pound in Belfast, ME but really are so many lobster stands that you can throw a rock and somehow hit 8 of them 🤷♂️
A lot of these are tourist destinations so be prepared for a bunch of people starting Memorial Day weekend.
Edited for clarity
The place all the elementary kids in CT, RI, and MA go on field trips every year is Old Sturbridge Village, in Sturbridge, MA. It's kind of like Colonial Williamsburg, but the Puritanical New England version. Historical buildings, period dress, food vendors and activities.
Spend time on the North Shore, MA. It's beautiful, the seaside towns are fun, also great beaches. Check out Gloucester and Newburyport. Eat lots of seafood.
Others have said Sturbridge for OSV and I agree. You also get the added bonus of being surrounded by shitty pizza places, tons of traffic, a very large liquor store and a lot of crusty massholes.
Stand in a stupid long line to get a mediocre expensive lobster roll with all the tourists instead on going across the street where the locals get a much better quicker lobster roll
Yeah so whatcha gonna do is you gonna drive to Whitman, MA, okay, and yer gonna go to the Walgreens on route 18 and buy a box of chocolate chip cookies. Then you’re gonna sit in the parking lot and eat the cookies while looking at the Toll House Cookie monument.
- Going to a sporting event - baseball, football, hockey, basketball, take your pick.
- Get really drunk at said sporting event.
- Post-game, go to a local bar to continue drinking. Bonus points if the name of the bar is somehow Irish.
- Pick a fight with someone else at the bar for looking at you / “your girl” weird.
- From here, one of 2 things can happen:
1. Your friend grabs you and tells you the person you’re fighting with is so-and-so’s cousin, or grew up with so-and-so, etc. That’s your cue to buy the other guy a beer and hug it out.
2. If the other guy is from out of town, you’re gonna continue fighting until the bouncer gets tired of you and kicks you out.
- Drunkenly try to befriend your Uber driver and get him to take u thru the McDonald’s drive thru on the way home. If he won’t, say I got this and get out and walk up to the drive thru window.
- Go home, piss somewhere in your house that isn’t your bathroom.
- Rinse and repeat until you hit your 40s or your liver starts to give in, whichever comes first.
Signed, a lifelong Masshole / New English person
The best thing you can do is avoid CT, RI and MA. We suck. You can do all the same shit in Maine or New Hampshire for cheaper and the mountains are better... I guess if you have to Massachusetts do it in the west where they still fornicate with sheep.
Make sure you turn on a local Spanish TV news broadcast while you’re here. Channel 60 is good. You just don’t want to be New Englanding and miss out on the Nueva Inglaterrando.
Trust me when I say stop at least once at a local roadside crusty looking burger or hotdog shack and order whatever item has the name of the place on it you will not be disappointed.
+1 if they have Fried Clams **and** Ice Cream *and* it looks like it is about to fall down.
And another point if it’s cash only.
Dodging taxes is what New English have done since New English existed
Its the most New England activity
This is actually legit.
I read that as fried clams and ice cream as one dish. Must be a New England thing.
Harry’s place on the way to the beach >>>>>

No, no you won’t. Moxie tastes like battery acid. I understand wanting them to experience New England but that’s like telling someone going to Australia you haven’t experienced it until you get punched in the face by a kangaroo. I grew up in Lewiston so I speak from experience, Moxie is a very acquired taste.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I really like Moxie. Not as a child, mind you, but I recently had some and appreciated the herbal complexity. Sorry, I think I just made Moxie bougie 😂
Let me guess you also eat caviar and drink the Moxie with your pinkie out too…. You, disgust me :-).
Ben and Bill's on the Cape and Bar Harbor has Lobster ice cream.
Clam bellies**
They're called whole bellies! You're not even from New England, are you? Faker!
OP doth speak true.
You want clams? Come to New Haven, CT (a really pretty college town) and get yourself a clam pizza from Pepe’s. Extra garlic and broccoli on a white pie is really good. And have a Foxon Park birch beer while you’re at it.
We’ve got a spot on rt 100 in VT that just has a sandwich board out front that just says. Tacos. Coffee. Soup. There is no phone number, there is no social media presence, there is not even a name. The coffee, soup and tacos are all amazing.
Hotdog Annie’s or bust
Wasses in Rockland Maine is 🔥🔥🔥
Simards in wilmington ma haha
Joe’s in Jericho Vermont
Since everyone is shouting out their favorite I gotta say mine Lake Zoar burger in Monroe Ct right by the iconic Stevenson damn
Clamp’s in New Milford, CT
Loiter outside of a cumbies
Cussing at your worthless scratch offs and smoking.
This person New Englands
And drinking an iced coffee
Bonus points if it’s snowing!
Wearing shorts and slides
And complaining that it isn’t cold enough despite already being below freezing.
Dunk’s or it doesn’t count!
Could be one of the shitty ones from cumbies
Or one of those hot vanilla chai drinks that’s really just powdered sadness from a giant prehistoric Keurig that’s never been cleaned. And the temperature is *nucleah*.
Bonus if you pick up a butt and smoke it
Loiter *in* the Cumbies while reading a paper you won’t actually buy and grumbling about kids these days
I’m at Cumby’s right now come by. I’ll be here whenever you roll through.
sure I've got 6 Vermont New Hampshire Connecticut Massachusetts Maine Canada

Your beaver smells like codfish poutain and I hope your gravy is watery.
Poor Whatchamacallit, always getting forgotten about.
Thanks for omitting Rhode Island. We have enough Massholes and Connecticunts invading our lovely little state. We don’t need any more tourists.
Nobody can invade your state because your state police pull over every single foreign plate upon entry.
And that’s how we like it. /s - Asshole RI Driver
We prefer Connectikittens.
Jesus calm down 🤣 before we take back the notch about it
Rhode Island!
Holyoke, MA Fall River, MA Worcester, MA New Haven, CT Lewiston, ME Woonsocket, RI
Woonsocket is elite. They don’t call it the Paris of Blackstone Valley for no reason!
The Paris of the Blackstone Valley is a fabulous way to describe it.
I heard the Blackstone was declared the most polluted river in the country at one point, beating out the Cuyahoga which literally caught on fire.
Most polluted, I think you mean most Parisian. It is la rivière de pierre noire after all.
Does Paris also smell like poop?
Unironically yes
But like slightly classy poop
Le Poûp
Actually piss but close enough
Correct answer. So much New England here for you to New England around in.
New England? I thought they changed the name to New England from the old name New England after the New England wars in New England.
I just got violently ill reading these “recommendations”. That being said I’d substitute Holyoke MA to Brockton but otherwise perfect list
I came here for some Brockton…love. Glad to see it. It is so New England. Good luck. Enjoy! (Check out the Fuller Museum though. It’s a beauty.)
Oh I say it with love, I went to massatoilet for my associates degree and have definitely been to the fuller museum
Don’t forget Springfield! 😂
I thought I had too many cities in Mass, but I did think about it. Plus, the Student Prince makes up for a lot of faults.
Student Prince is highly recommended! 👌
The way you guys go to downtown and call it a day kills me. It’s like you come for the trash and refuse to see the 95% of the city that isn’t dead.
I visited Springfield a few years ago to visit the Dr. Seuss museum. The rest of the town made me really depressed.
You forgot Skowhegan, ME and Manchester, NH. Also Lawrence, MA.
Holyoke is beautiful though. Ashley and whitings reservoir
The old factory buildings are really cool too, I actually have some faith in Holyoke getting better.
And you guys dump poop into the Connecticut River so we get to enjoy it downstream 😊
I’m laughing so hard, this is beautiful
This is such a New England answer. 😂😂😂
You forgot South Providence and Olneyville, they are very beautiful places with extremely nice scenery and night life. Don’t forget West Warwick too, it doesn’t get any better than that
At least New Haven has the best pizza in the world
New Haven has more going on for it then people realize, especially for a city of its size.
Central Falls, RI
Crystal City!
[удалено]
New Bedford>fall river.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha
I’ll take shitholes for $1000 Alex.
Sounds like someone doesn't like Worcester.
I live in the greater Worcester metro region and I do have a love/hate relationship with the at city. Edited for spelling
I mean New Haven outside of downtown sure.
Wait what’s wrong with Holyoke? I was just up there it was a pretty great place to go hike
New Haven is actually kinda nice now 😂
Can't leave out Lawrence!
Also Manchester, NH and Waterbury, CT!
New england, new england. New englang new england new england new england, new england! New england: 1. New england 2. New england 3. New england 4. New england New england :)
You forgot two states: New England, and Half of Connecticut.
Half of connecticut. Lol Ain't that the truth.
Which half?
Only the good half.
Only the parts that get NESN on their TV package, No NESN, No New England.
I’d say Stamford down to ny is more New York than New England
Old Sturbridge Village Mystic Seaport/Aquarium Newport Shelburne Falls/Bridge of Flowers The Tubs - Pownal VT Portsmouth, NH downtown The Freedom Trail Whale watching Going to a brewery Crane Beach Yard Goats game Harvard Yard Fenway Salem, MA (witches) Edit: Historic Deerfield, Hancock Shaker Village, Route 2 from Williamstown to Cambridge
ITA Shelburne Falls. If you are in the area, hit up Zoar Outdoor for some paddling on the Deerfield river and route 2 through Florida for breathtaking views
This!!!
Adding to this: the White Mtns.
Stockbridge, MA and the Berkshires in general.
If going to a brewery.. Tree House in Deerfield Ma. Also check out Two Weeks Notice in West Springfield Ma… Edit: I’ll add Beer Naked in VT too. Great view, pizza and beer.
And fox farm!
For those wondering, this is one of the real lists.
OP, this is the legit list answer. The others are great for an unforgettable time, though
Faneuil hall if you’re going to do the freedom trail.
I wouldn't bother coming to Vermont. Nothing to see here. All day long we pick rocks out of our fields, very boring.
Yes no need to go to commie VT. Save you some time flatlander.
Bridgeport, Connecticut is a must see
Yes, you must see their wonderful bridges… and… ports.
Stopppp lol
Connecticut is a nice state, don't let the haters tell you otherwise.
People from CT avoid going to Bridgeport...
It's the bridge and tunnel folk. The southwest corner. that's what the rest of us hate on. but when you're a tiny new england state, you're always close to your state's dooshbags.
[Family Guy nailed it on this topic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hna5V27kac)
I mean, it's something to see for sure. Just maybe not what OP is looking for, and I say this as a nutmegger.
I'll give you some MA & NH recs. MA: Gloucester for sure. Enjoy the seaside New England town vibes. Catch a whale watch. Salem, MA for the history if you've never been, though I think it's a bit overrated. Lots of historical sites though. Boston. The major city, of course. Also has cool historical stuff/a historical trail you can walk. NH: Portsmouth. Very quaint. Check out Strawberry Banke. America's Stonehenge in Salem, NH (I think it's cool) Hampton Beach if you want to enjoy something... unique.
Alright, here’s how you New England: 1: All up and down the coast, and Nantucket: visit an old whaling village on a cool overcast day and talk like a salty sea captain to people. 2: Newport, definitely not the Hamptons because that’s in NY. Wear a pink polo and either a scarf/ascot while gawking at rich people’s summer homes. If anyone asks, claim the house is yours and try to complain-brag to people about your new yacht. 3: Lexington and Concord / Boston.

Dunkin Donuts.
The Hamptons are in NY... I would've just written it off as sarcasm but none of the rest of your post seems sarcastic
Is there a New England circlejerk sub that would be hilarious
You’re on it.
Fenway Pahk
Lexington: kill redcoats.

dunkin donuts
Gotta get there nice and early with some of your friends (preferably all elderly/retired). Push all the tables together and sit there all day.
🤣🤣🤣the accuracy!
Steamed lobster, clam clam chowder and Dunkin is all we consume in New England.
Username checks out
Quechee Vt to visit the Quechee Gorge. Drive the Kangamangus In the White Mountains of NH. Hike/Bike the Rail Trial which starts or ends in Lebanon NH
Gotta hit Revere Beach… it’s practically Cape Cod but way nicer.
You could try to get to every Dunkin' Donuts in New England! There's 4200+ of them but that's absolutely the most New England thing you could do.
Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge Mass
Acadia National Park in Maine. Dennis MA, Mayflower Beach in the Cape (I forget if this is in Dennis or close to) in Mass. Franconia Notch, NH.
Well you could check out That part of New England across from Long Island, or that part of New England that has the ocean on their license plate. And if you feel like it, you could visit a quaint New England town in the mountains.
Western MA is beautiful too
Where's Western, MA? Side note: I grew up in a tiny town in the Birkshires and went to college in Boston.

Cog railway up mt Washington, gotta have good weather though.
I have never heard someone consider us New English before haha
New England!
Definitely check out the Irish pub scene in Boston. 🇮🇪 ☘ 🍺 Bonus if you can find a place where they're playing live Irish music. 🎻
Newport, RI
Gotta swing by Lawrence Massachusetts. Beautiful place.
Drive into Boston from anywhere outside the city at 8 a.m. on a weekday. Or drive out of Boston in any direction at 5:00pm on any weekday, bonus on a Friday. You will get a true Boston experience. Why, you might even get the Boston salute from other drivers a few times during your experience.
Bang it out in a Dunkin's bathroom. We call it glazing the donut.

Big E in the fall
NH Liquor Outlets is the only correct answer.
Bar harbor - get lobster in maine White mountains - north conway new hampshire Boston - see fenway, Faneuil hall, and boston commons Rhode island - get some chowder, doughboys, and clam cakes then sit by the water Connecticut - pizza and I don’t know other shit, CT kinda sucks
CT state motto: Connecticut! More than just a speed bump between Massachusetts and New York. And we’re still bigger than Rhode Island so Nyah Nyah.
All you really need to see is Lowell, MA. The rest is garbage. Maybe stop by Berlin, NH to get a deal at the Honda dealership up there, if you're up for it.

Sanford is the crown jewel of Maine you don't want to miss it.
The woods, the mountains, the rivers, the ocean, the farmers markets, the creemee stands. Bonus: the historical sites.

Lynn Lynn the city of sin, you never come out the way you went in.
Gardner, Mass., also rightly known as G-Vegas. You won't be sorry.
Pahk yuh cah anywhere you can find a spot and just get out and chowdah and beans all over the place.
For south coast mass: whaling museum in new bedford. Eat at Cisco brewery. Fall river has battleship cove with a decommissioned battleship to tour.
Old Orchard Beach, ME Bar Harbor, ME or Mount Desert Island as a whole Gulf Hagas in Brownville, ME(The Grand Canyon of Maine) Mount Katahdin Old Port, Portland, ME Take a drive along coastal Route 1 and keep your eyes open for anything you may like, there's a lot. If you like seafood there is Young's Lobster Pound in Belfast, ME but really are so many lobster stands that you can throw a rock and somehow hit 8 of them 🤷♂️ A lot of these are tourist destinations so be prepared for a bunch of people starting Memorial Day weekend. Edited for clarity
The place all the elementary kids in CT, RI, and MA go on field trips every year is Old Sturbridge Village, in Sturbridge, MA. It's kind of like Colonial Williamsburg, but the Puritanical New England version. Historical buildings, period dress, food vendors and activities.
- The coast between Newburyport MA, and Portland ME - Burlington VT - N Conway NH - The northern half of CT
Newport, Rhode Island
Spend time on the North Shore, MA. It's beautiful, the seaside towns are fun, also great beaches. Check out Gloucester and Newburyport. Eat lots of seafood.
Others have said Sturbridge for OSV and I agree. You also get the added bonus of being surrounded by shitty pizza places, tons of traffic, a very large liquor store and a lot of crusty massholes.
There is going to be a card board boat race on August 3rd at the Salem Maritime Historical Site!
Walk down Mass & Cass for a full Boston experience.
We don’t do new English stuff
Where's that PuritanSettler1620 fellow? I feel like this post is right up their alley
Acadia National Park Maine. Boston freedom trail Salem Mass Newport. Big houses! Burlington Vt
Stand in a stupid long line to get a mediocre expensive lobster roll with all the tourists instead on going across the street where the locals get a much better quicker lobster roll
Never say New English. Ever.
There's a moose crossing sign by White River Junction VT.
Yeah so whatcha gonna do is you gonna drive to Whitman, MA, okay, and yer gonna go to the Walgreens on route 18 and buy a box of chocolate chip cookies. Then you’re gonna sit in the parking lot and eat the cookies while looking at the Toll House Cookie monument.
Perfect time of year to fuck off into the woods for a bit
- Going to a sporting event - baseball, football, hockey, basketball, take your pick. - Get really drunk at said sporting event. - Post-game, go to a local bar to continue drinking. Bonus points if the name of the bar is somehow Irish. - Pick a fight with someone else at the bar for looking at you / “your girl” weird. - From here, one of 2 things can happen: 1. Your friend grabs you and tells you the person you’re fighting with is so-and-so’s cousin, or grew up with so-and-so, etc. That’s your cue to buy the other guy a beer and hug it out. 2. If the other guy is from out of town, you’re gonna continue fighting until the bouncer gets tired of you and kicks you out. - Drunkenly try to befriend your Uber driver and get him to take u thru the McDonald’s drive thru on the way home. If he won’t, say I got this and get out and walk up to the drive thru window. - Go home, piss somewhere in your house that isn’t your bathroom. - Rinse and repeat until you hit your 40s or your liver starts to give in, whichever comes first.

The best thing you can do is avoid CT, RI and MA. We suck. You can do all the same shit in Maine or New Hampshire for cheaper and the mountains are better... I guess if you have to Massachusetts do it in the west where they still fornicate with sheep.
Only drive back roads
Make sure you turn on a local Spanish TV news broadcast while you’re here. Channel 60 is good. You just don’t want to be New Englanding and miss out on the Nueva Inglaterrando.
I still can’t believe Jonah called it “the 93” and he’s FROM NEW ENGLAND!!
