The Best Holiday Spots on the New England Coast
So...like most of you, we're offline soon. Not that that's a shock or anything, as we've been offline for a little while.

So in the vein of "food for thought," we asked our fans to name their favorite Autumn spots along the New England coast. We're past peak foliage season, which takes us farther inland to the Adirondacks and wilds of Vermont, so we've migrated back to the shores, where wonderful traditions thrive along the coastline.
Here were the top five:

39th Annual Candlelight Stroll at Strawbery Banke Museum.
Labrie Family Skate at Puddle Dock Pond.
