About the blog

A trusted friend with a very good map

I've been exploring New England for over a decade — not the tourist trails, but the back roads, the family-run inns, the little restaurants with no sign out front.

This blog is my way of sharing everything I've found. Think of me as that friend who always knows the best place to go — and is genuinely delighted to tell you about it.
