@@thatssofetch3481 I know this is an old comment, but did you ever go? Here are my tips: Keep in mind, New England area alone is nearly double the size of Scotland, so schedule carefully. Yes, you will need to drive. The best seasons here in my opinion are Spring and Autumn. Summer can be brutally hot, and all the vacation crowds are at maximum. My favorite areas: the coast of Maine. Woodsy, rocky coastline with great views and good food. Look for small private bed and breakfasts, Acadia National Park, plan some hiking. Cape Cod. Quaint old fashioned towns and northern beaches. Drive route 6A (local road not highway) from Denis to Orleans for nice parklands, shops, google search local food there. Past that is the National Seashore with public beaches, then Provincetown at the very end. The Berkshires: mountains in western Massachusetts. A plethora of botanical gardens, trails and museums, very natural but cultured area. Various music festivals and other events through the year so check calendar and book ahead. I could go on. Northern Vermont around Lake Champlain makes a nice trip, and the Connecticut coast has some great history, and then there's Boston you could spend days

As a fellow New Englander, I have to disagree with the “Don’t Complain About the Weather.” All we do is complain about the weather, lol! It’s too cold, it’s too hot, it’s snowing, it’s raining (sometimes all in the same week). It’s actually a conversation starter. I remember a couple of years ago I was in Florida and I mentioned how hot it was and the person was like “Well, it’s Florida, what do you expect?” In New England, that would have gotten at least a 10-minute conversation 😆 Great video, though! Spot on about the seafood, Dunkin Donuts and beer in Vermont.

Yes, there is a lot of traffic on I495, but you will have such an easier time than taking I95 or I93 through Boston. - If you're going to Cape Cod DONT leave on Sunday or come down on a Friday. You will spend hours in traffic getting over the bridges. - MA and RI beer is better than CT. MA and RI everything is better than CT. - When you're looking for a liquor store in MA or RI a lot of times it will be called a package store or "Packie" - When it comes to food, don't always go to the big tourist trap places. Ask someone local where the best chowder, lobster, burgers, etc. are in town. A lot of the restaurants up here have become famous for being famous and aren't necessarily the best in town. - NECCO went out of business this year so don't bet on being able to find Necco Wafers - Cannolis at Mikes ARE delicious, but you should get a lobster claw pastry instead, even if its the touristy thing to do. - You will hear different accents in New England, but they are almost always stronger in older working class people. - Most of New England will be much less receptive to Yankees fans than Connecticut. Be a fan of whatever team you want as long as it isn't the Yankees, Habs, Lakers, Jets, NY Giants, or the NY Rangers. The unofficial motto of the city of boston is "YANKEES SUCK", bear that in mind. - A major form or recreation around here is bitching about the weather. Anything above 75 is way too hot and anything below 30 is wicked cold. - The Whalers will rise again!

I agree with most of what you said. Just wanted to expand on the accent. In this video, and another video of his I watched, he said that New Englanders don't really have Boston accents. That is probably most true in touristy areas and the city of Boston itself, where so many people from all over the world visit or move to. But, just outside the city in Greater Boston, and especially the South Shore, you will hear plenty of strong Boston accents. It tends to be most prominent in middle-aged and older people.

You wont hear the Boston accent as much in the city because youre often surrounded by a lot of white collar people, many of whom have either moved there from elsewhere for work, or have shaken off the accent in college/ been raised by people who did. You will hear it more on the train because it is working class people who retain it, and they dont live in the shinier parts of Boston, which is outrageously expensive. But DO expect many people in Maine and Rhode Island to sound distinctive (rural Maine really can sound like the old "Pepperidge farms remembers" commercial, with its charming singsong cadence and expansive vowels. RI , despite being tiny, has a cluster of ethnically varied accents that mostly sound midway between NY and Boston. Although "Quahog" is based mostly on Pawtucket, listen around Cranston and Johnston if you're hoping to hear that Peter and Lois Griffin accent)

Try visiting the Northeast Kingdom...you may see a moose or a bear in the road while driving. 3. Vermonters are SLOW drivers. (Vermont population is elderly) 4. Wildlife is EVERYWHERE. You may see a deer or two in a small downtown setting like Rutland. 5. You can do some skiing into June at some ski areas like Killington (ski in shorts!) 6. Vermonters are very friendly but standoffish. 7. Visit some old cemeteries, some graves date back older than our country! 8. Vermont was its own country before it became the 14th State after the 13 original colonies. 9. John Deere was born there!

The station is just north of the downtown. The city center is compact so it is easy to walk around. The city is not near the highway so by car there is no direct way to the city unless you travel through congested urban areas.

Mini Golf, Go Carts, Arcades, plenty of WONDERFUL restaurants, and if someone prefers camping, NH and ME have no shortages of camp grounds.

Another don't is when driving through small towns, remember the road signs are designed for locals. You will get lost when the route you're on continues either on the left or right of a church and there's no marking to tell you which road to take. I grew up there and got lost constantly unless I knew the town. Also, MA has the best local beer I've ever had. Definitely check out the beer in Central MA.

Connecticut lobster rolls are the correct version, hot lobster served on a buttered roll maybe with some garnish if you’re feeling fancy. Also try a New England style hot dog bun. It has flat sides. Toast it up in a pan with butter throw a grilled Hummel on that thing and tell me how you feel about life. Also expect to pay just under $30 for a lobster roll.

Agree with all of these points, although it's okay to complain about the weather, many of us hate the cold too. A few notes: Beer and wine are usually available in grocery stores and convenience stores. Yes, practically every town has at least one Dunkin Donuts. If not a stand-alone store then inside a supermarket. Often gas stations or 7-11s will have a DD display as well. And don't be surprised if people tell you DD coffee is better than Starbucks (I don't drink coffee so I don't know.) Expect to see a bazillion trees and countless lakes, ponds and rivers. Few sandy beaches though, and the ocean water will be cold even in the high summer.

Lived in Boston for 5.5 years, great advice. Liquor...when entering NH on the interstates, you will encounter a rest area soon after which will have a state liquor store. Best prices in NE. People having an event in Boston would drive up, prices are crazy at home. People will seem stand offish, took me a while to get used to it but soon found people to be very nice. I've lived a lot in the south to so it was puzzling. At the end of the day, I wrote it off to having much less social interaction due to the long cold winters and rainy times that kind of kept people home. Driving tip...if at a red light and there is a car stopped opposite signaling for a turn opposite you, local custom tends to be to let the first car turn in front of you even though they don't have a green arrow. City driving seems crazy in Boston but you quickly kind of learn the customs. People will work with you particularly in the rotaries but you kind of have to be a little aggressive to the extant they know you are coming. If you are from the South and love brewed ice tea good luck! Even nice restaurants tended to serve instant at least when I was there through 2010. At the time, the best bets were actually Dunkin Donuts (sometimes if would have some coffee taste), and McDonald's, go figure. Dunkin Donuts truly is a religion particularly around Boston, we had a store inside our Home Depot!

Also recommend Samuel Adams beers in Boston.

If your a regular guy and like your Budweiser, there is a Bud plant right in Merrimack NH. So any Bud you drink in NE is made locally. They have a nice tour there btw and they keep the Clydesdales there. No I am not getting paid for that. Don't pay too much for gallon of maple syrup. And that hard front mentioned by the host, don't expect to get past that with everyone. Enjoy your visit.

Oh, one other "don't" in a positive sense: don't forget about the amazing cocktails you'll get here! Though we are more known for beer, restaurants make some truly amazing seasonal cocktails themed with the season.

Just found out I’ll be work in CT this summer. Seems amazing, especially compared to the British summers I’m used to
