Visit New England - 5 Things You Will Love & Hate about New England, USA

[@halifaxx55]

I feel like New england and the northeast are the most sophisticated and cultured regions in our country. Everyone is bursting with knowledge and literary cities, architecture, history and a strong identity.

[@cmanlovespancakes]

+halifaxx55 I would say that is a gross overstatement. While it does have the history, and some of best higher education in the nation, I would not say everyone is bursting with knowledge unless you are speaking about sports or walking around Cambridge. Culturally New England especially around Boston and the larger cities is very blue collar and poor. There are also plenty of uneducated nitwits for every intelligent person. But as my Texas friend says, people around here likes to pretend they are smart even if they are dumb as bricks.

[@halifaxx55]

Charles Schutz o.0 oh. I didn't know lol I just thought they were very burgeois, that's always just what I see on tv, everyone vacationing in Martha's vineyard and the coastal towns as well as the fancy ivy leagues and MIT, not to mention the history of boston and philly, but I guess you have a point.

[@cmanlovespancakes]

+halifaxx55 Those stereotypes are created by the media and are kind of annoying. While there is some truth, it is hardly reality. Most of the cities in the region are very run down, and poor because the major industries left years ago(each large city had is own cottage industry, some were textiles, others specialized machine, though those companies did leave all their toxic waste. The Northeast is one of the most polluted areas in the country. The whole region saw a huge decline in population from 1960s through to this day. While parts of New England (mainly around Boston and Providence RI) are now seeing a resurgence with a influx of high tech jobs, many areas are still struggling. Massachusetts is home of some of the worst cities in the US Lawrence, Springfield, New Bedford, Fall River are always near the top with rampant crime and deep poverty. Go into one of those cities and its like being transported to a different country. Actually pretty much all the large cities in the region, including Boston, are terrible places to live. They are expensive, crime ridden, corrupt hellholes with few good paying jobs.The smaller cities and town are the real authentic New England and worth visiting.

[@halifaxx55]

Charles Schutz oh I see, well I still want to go and see, I've lived in Texas and California, so I know run down haha I can handle those.

I'm glad he called out the "New England shield," the but the reasoning behind it was inaccurate. It's not that we're not open to tourists-we just appreciate honesty and hate pointless smalltalk full of pretenses.

[@woltersworld]

Thanks for the insider insight. Merry Christmas!

[@happyhandylife4101]

I've never heard it called this, but it's not because of tourists. It's more a matter of the fact that nobody really has time to deal with pleasantries I think...life can be stressful (expensive, very bad weather a lot of the time, terrible traffic) and being friendly isn't a high priority. Now that I live outside of New England that's my take on "the New England shield".

[@libbyemily]

I'm from New England and honestly, I'm just afraid to talk to tourists. I have nothing against them but that's just how I am.

[@wheatherd]

I could understand some of it because- especially when someone beats around the bush or really overworks at making themselves look 'friendly'- it can come off as malicious.

We're really particular about people pronouncing our place names correctly. You'll always get that "New England shield" if you say "con-CORED" repeatedly in front of a Granite Stater. It's "CON-kerd". When in doubt in NH, always emphasize the first syllable. For the most part though you're right, get outside the cities and you'll see why NH is called the "South of the North". You'll see guns and hospitality like nowhere else in New England :)

I’ve lived in Connecticut all of my life and this is pretty accurate. The “New England Sheild” is something that I was never aware of until recently. It’s not something that we’re conscious about, it’s just our natural way of living. As far as the food is concerned, you should know that there are two types of lobster rolls. Cold with mayonnaise, sometimes called Maine lobster roll, and warm with melted butter, also known as Connecticut style lobster rolls. But there’s more to NE food than seafood. We have the best Italian food anywhere. Check out Boston’s North End and the pizza places in New Haven CT.

[@leslieMClass80]

Being born and raised in New England but moving to the Midwest a couple of years ago, I very much appreciated your video. I totally understand what you mean about the shield, and I honestly don’t think people realize we do it and it is not done to push people away. In my town, when someone had a death in the family, most of the town would attend the wake and or bring food to the home of the family. There is always an extra place setting or extra food for anyone who came by. Thank you for touching on that. I hope you had a wonderful visit and come on back again!

[@carlkolthoff5402]

I'm currently visiting New England as my first visit to the US and everybody's been super friendly, so I'm really surprised to hear about this "New England Shield". On the other hand, I'm from Scandinavia and we're kinda infamous for not being socially outgoing to strangers, so it makes sense. I find it very interesting that our nature and climate are so similar and how that seems to affect peoples social manners. After driving around in a rental car for over a week I agree with your opinions about traffic, there is always a lot more cars in the streets than we're used to back home.

My family is from NE and I have spent time in Sweden. When it comes to cold and rude Scandinavia rules.

[@VGH823]

You left out 2 of the best places in NE! Newport and Cape Cod! Newport has more than just the Gilded Age mansions, it has SO much history. Cape Cod has history and beaches! Both are amazing! The worst time of year to go to NE is between Memorial and Labor Days. It's tourist season hell. The 2 months before and 2 months after are the best, lower prices, restaurants and attractions are mostly open and the weather is really mild!

[@GodIHateYouKenny]

No doubt. I grew up in SW CT but my parents had a place in Newport as well as a home in Duxbury, MA. I lived in Chatham when I was very young in the late 70s. Spent lots of time in the 90s in Newport, visiting family mostly between Boston and the Cape, MV, etc. Not to mention hiking Mt. Washington in NH. Live in Pittsburgh now (where I attended undergrad at CMU) and it's a great city. But I'll take New England any day!

[@DanielTrue16]

Here's what I love and hate about New England. I'm from Mass and live in Maine now so I know what I'm talking about. PROS: 1.Beautiful scenery, especially in the fall. There's nothing like the foliage with all the colors. We have beaches, mountains, lighthouses, historic homes, scenic small towns, and more! 2. A TON of history. This is basically the birthplace of America. There are so many historical sites and monuments. It's amazing. 3.FOOD! There are so many foods to try and some many have never heard of. Definitely a foodie land 4. It's compact (for the most part). You can easily drive from one state to another in no time, depending where you are. The New England states are smaller, so when visiting, you can see multiple places all in one trip. 5.SUMMER: I love summer in New England. Rarely does it ever get so hot that your going to die. Yes, it does get into the upper 80's and low 90's at times, but most of the time, it's fairly moderate. Be cautious as a lot of homes don't have central air conditioning. It's not needed for that long so it's not worth it to have. I use a window unit and fans when it gets warm. The beaches are pretty nice, although packed. The trees are green, and sightseeing is great this time of year. CONS: 1. THE DRIVING! This is my biggest peeve. Driving here stinks. If you aren't used to fast drivers, inconsiderate drivers, or tailgaters, BEWARE. I've driven all over the country and New England, by far, has the worst drivers I've ever seen. Traffic is terrible quite often, especially in and around Boston. Be prepared. 2. Attitude: I don't think this is really a pro or con but depending where you are from, New Englander's may seem a bit cold and rigid. I'm from Massachusetts and find people around these parts to be just downright rude, but I've also met some of the nicest people I've ever come into contact with. You won't get the friendliness or openness you would find in other places, but just give it time. We may seem standoffish at first, but once we get to know you, your golden! 3.WINTER: This can be great or this can be the bane of our existence. Here in Maine, winter seems to last from November through April. It gets cold in September and stays that way until May. Southern New England is warmer, but be prepared for temps at or below freezing for a large chunk of the year. Summer is beautiful, but you have to make it through 6 months of winter. 4.EXPENSIVE: If you plan to visit, bring money. Depending where you are, a trip to New England is going to cost you. Boston, for instance, is one of the most expensive cities not only to live, but to visit. Hotels are terribly expensive and even then, some are downright nasty. Anything on the Cape in summer will be sky high. Be prepared for a lot of costs. More so than other places. New England is a great place to live and visit. I definitely recommend making a journey to this part of the U.S. I'm sure you'll like it too.

[@user-fe2lr5jw4i]

The biggest problem with my home region of New England is all the non new Englanders forgetting that we are 6 distinct states. Each one has pros and cons that differ from it’s cousins. New Hampshire and Vermont are very similar but Maine and Rhode Island are berry different culturally. The broadest you could really catigorize with somewhat like cultures is northern New England (being Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine) and southern New England (being Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island). A very large portion of the vastly different experiences and understandings of New England are from people who only know what Boston or Newport or Bar Harbor are like and then assuming the rest of New England is like that. It’d be like going to Chicago and thinking this represents “the mid west”.

[@hellofrominside8524]

So true. I live in Maine and going to Rhode Island feels way different

[@kam2ma]

I grew up in New England, but I have also lived in New York State (for college), then Minneapolis and Southern California. Each place had things I liked and disliked. I find the food better in New England than in the other places I've lived, including seafood, Italian-American and Chinese-American. As for being cold, people in New England are more reserved and formal with strangers, much like Europeans. Boston is the US city most like a European city. I was taken aback the first few times I visited the South and Texas where people are more open and friendly. I didn't expect people I interacted with casually to be so friendly. In New England, people are generally polite, but they won't engage with strangers they meet in passing in more than a superficial way. It doesn't mean they are cold or rude.

[@shechshire]

That’s the Anglo culture. English people tend to be very formal & respectful while people of Southern European decent tend to be informal & patronizing. Those are two different worlds.

[@buzzmattn6539]

Honestly? The seasonality is something I really miss here in Germany. See, we have no real summers and no real winters since about 2 years (when you live in the middle west like me). And so I think the seasonality is one of the best things in New England.... can't wait to visit :)

He's absolutely right about the New England character. Its often perceived as unfriendly at first, but remember you are an outsider and people have no reason to welcome you like you're a long lost cousin. Small talk isn't what a lot of them are going to be wanting to do. But they are unfailingly helpful (chivalry is alive and well) if you need any kind of assistance. They just might not do it with a smile. And if you do succeed in popping that cork off the bottle so to speak, you might have a hard time getting it back in :) One can go from stranger to pal very quickly. So try acting a little grumpy and don't shy away from using expletives when you talk because truth be told, they will quickly warm to that (and smile at you for the first time, maybe :)) And then sit back and get ready to be entertained. They are among the most sophisticated people in the US, but they just might not sound like it at first!

[@deuser]

As someone who moved to Maine from Michigan, to me, it almost felt like a smugness or a “ im better than you” . Now being the Midwest, people would bend over backwards for you. Now on the other hand, since I’ve been here for 12 years, that smugness has gone and people ( well most people ) are awesome.

[@hellofrominside8524]

I can't speak for bigger places like Boston but I used to work customer service in a small tourist town in Maine. Personally I think a big part of the tourist aversion comes from feeling claustrophobic.

There are also really cool museums all around, especially in Mass. We also have some of the best colleges around; MIT and Harvard to name a few. You can go to both of these colleges and see tours. Also, he food here is AMAZING. The clam chowder (or chowdah as we like to call it) is to die for. I've been to Florida and accidentally ordered the chowdah there. Big mistake. Our fish n' chips, lobster, and shellfish is also fantastic. Lastly, if you ever here someone say that something is "wicked", for example: "that was a wicked awesome football game!", it doesn't mean that the game was evil. It's just a slang word here that means either 'awesome', 'really', or 'very'. Some people think that we say "wicked pissah", but I've never heard the word "pissah" in my life. Must be a Boston thing? (and also it isn't CON-cored, it's CON-kerd. if you pronounce it like CON-cored in NH, the locals may get angry :) )

I spent 3 months in Cape Cod, MA last summer as an exchange student and I approve all the facts. Boston is so nice town. Local beers were pretty good but I still prefer our Czech beers. Greetings from your favourite Český Krumlov.

Agree with local and “CON-kid” pronunciation😀 Secondly, MORE Mrs. Wolters and your adorable kiddos! Love your vlog. I’m a “CON-kid” NH resident and hope sometime you do a spot in Cape Ann, MA. Summer there is my retreat whether downtown Rockport or Long Beach. Keep up the greatest gift you can give your kids, travel and a loving family!😀

Originally from Ottawa, Ontario but now live in the Pacific Northwest. The west coast is known for it's beauty, but somehow I think I'm just more of an eastern person.

I've driven the whole Northeast my entire life, and yah driving New England can be bad. But don't pretend it's any worse driving than New York or New Jersey. And much of the time New England is just fine. Spring and Fall are the best seasons in New England.

[@sophiajane1452]

It's not just we have four seasons, it's that they don't come and end on time! A couple of years ago we have four feet of snow, and last year it was 50 degrees in January. We never get snow until mid January, and when we do get snow, the cold and snow stays until (sometimes) April. Last week it was 70 degrees, and this week it was 40. If you are coming to New England, just come in the summer. It's the only weather you can count on.

[@omegablack80214]

dancin' Outfits Not really, it snows in summer once in a while. Of course, the joke in Vermont is that some days you can see all 4 seasons.

[@vickygraham2444]

The lakes in New England are amazing. I spent every summer spent swimming in ossipee lake and it's crystal clear water. Winnipesaukee is great too.

Love your videos sir ;) Great energy ;) And very informative too:) I can never go to such places. I'm visually impaired, but, I can watch your vids and just get a sense of adventure with the energy you put into your vids. Thanks for sharing !! =)

[@besteconomicsfaculty]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Cool vids. Well done! We truly loved it.

What I like about New England is that we like to be left alone and do our own thing, but education is key and we are kind…but not fake. Get to know us before you randomly invite me to a block party….idk, maybe it’s just my New England roots that make me seem like an introvert but I do enjoy my privacy and New England is very much private, quiet and to each their own--but helpful, just don’t be too much of a tourist. Of course, the more in the city you get the busier it is. Connecticut and Rhode Island are truly hidden gems. Wish taxes were cheaper however. One thing I wish New England had more off is some of the Midwest restaurants such as Costa Vida/Cafe Rio, Cheesecake Factory, Torchys tacos, etc. Also, more Costco’s would be highly appreciated.

An hour north of Boston on the N.H. coast is the small city of Portsmouth. A great walking town with that almost European old school feel. And between Portsmouth and Kittery Maine which is just across the River, you have world class dining. The same can be said for for the micro brews.
