Iconic Diners Beckon Foliage Watchers Who've Worked Up An Appetite
Diners have long been community gathering spaces where locals and visitors rub shoulders while whetting their appetites with freshly prepared homestyle food at a reasonable price. Diners are ideal stopping spots for foliage watchers, either before setting out to see Mother Nature's colorful autumn display or while enroute along the state's highways, byways and backroads.

North Country Girl In The City
I recently conquered a lifelong fear of mine—well, a fear I've had at least as long as I've had a driver's license—and that was driving myself into the ever-intimidating city of Boston. I scored tickets to a concert at Fenway Park, but my initial excitement was quickly replaced by crippling anxiety over making the drive.
