Those who say America lacks a sense of history haven’t been to Massachusetts. From the pilgrims landing in Plymouth to the first shots of the Revolutionary War being fired in Boston, Massachusetts tells the tale of early America. The “Cradle of Liberty,” Boston showcases this history best, with its museums, landmarks, brownstones and gas-lamp-lined cobblestone streets—a city where “r”s are dropped and baseball is held holy.

Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod offer quintessential New England beach getaways, complete with sailboats and saltwater taffy. Nature lovers won’t want to miss whale watching near Nantucket, and no one will want to miss a good pub crawl in the state that started it all.

Dining out became tricky, and let’s face... Read More
