Maine Munchies (stupid Google had no other “M” words for food!)
Connecticut Comestibles (How’s that for a .10 cent word?)
Massachusetts Munchies
Worcester, MA- The Boynton started off as a little pizza shop and became known for their pizza. Over the years, they have grown into a full service restaurant, still selling their delicious pizza, but now you can also find anything from their house ...
The Boynton Restaurant & Spirits
Medford, MA - Ok, this one??? MADONE!!! I literally kept looking around, thinking I would see Tony Soprano and the gang here (I say that in the most flattering possible way). This is the first place I ever tried a stuffed artichoke (CARCIOFI IMBOTT...
Bocelli's
Cambridge, MA - OK, gotta come clean here. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 12 years now. It has definitely become a much more vegetarian, friendly world, but it’s only recently that full on vegan and vegetarian restaurants have started cropping up a...
Veggie Galaxy
Newton, MA - this place is absolutely adorable! Small, family, run restaurant, named for their daughter, obviously Stella. The food is absolutely delicious and a little bit eclectic. Just swing by this little Italian gem and grab yourself a bowl of h...
Stella Italian Restaurant in Newton MA
Newton/Brookline MA - OK, you’re not going here for dinner, but dear Lord, this one had to get on this list somehow! His croissant literally felt in your mouth. I had a raspberry something or other one and a pistachio one. I am usually a pure rest ...
Lakon Paris Patisserie
Rhode Island Restaurants
Lincoln, RI - This one. Fall on romantic old school Italian restaurant. They are from scratch and they are incredible. From their chicken Parm to gnocchi, to their cannolis and cappuccino, you will definitely not regret this trip! And if you are fee...
Trattoria Romana Lincoln: Home Page
Providence, RI - Ok, if you’ve never been to Federal Hill in RI, you’re missing out. It’s good it’s own little vibe, and it is so festive, especially if you go in the summer. This place, obviously, has an outdoor patio and it is the absolute perfect...
The Patio Restaurant American, Seafood & Italian Dinner
Warwick, RI - Mama Mia! There is nothing quite like finding an authentic Italian place that makes everything from scratch, and I mean EVERYTHING. The gnocchi? Madone! The sauce (or the gravy, if you're of that mind :) )…out of this world. And you definitely don't want to skip dessert here. Olive Oil cake with Lemon Curd, seasonal fruit, and gelato?? HOMEMADE PIZZELLES???? Seriously….this place is worth the trip.

Vermont Vittles
Vermont - Guys, went for a little weekend getaway at an Airbnb in Vermont, and what a gem this turned out to be! Apparently, it’s no secret to the locals because we did have to stand in line in the snow, in Vermont, but we figured if people were will...
Peach's Restaurant
Burlington, VT - We accidentally stumbled across this place while trying to find our AirBnB, and what a lucky happenstance! We were told that the menu changes seasonally, we were there in the summer and the craft cocktails were absolutely amazing, I...
May Day - Restaurant & Bar In Burlington Vermont
New Hampshire Noshes
I’ll be honest, I’m a really quirky vegetarian and don’t necessarily love a lot of the things that I probably should as such. That said, this place is an absolute smash! The Lavash bread is KILLER, and even as picky as I am, I still found plenty to ...
Anatolia Mediterranean Restaurant
Ok, this place could easily be mistaken for a Hooters from the outside, but that is where any similarity ends. This place has very authentic Mexican food, absolutely delicious and the portions are definitely oversized. My favorite foods are Mexican a...
Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse
Sunapee, NH - I know, I know. For a vegetarian, I sure have a lot of “meaty” places in my faves list. Well, it's a whole lot easier these days to customize your meal than it was in years past, and the Wildwood Smokehouse is no exception. Their nachos? Incredible. The Wagon Wheels? SO refreshing after a day on the water. And not gonna lie…I may not eat meat, but I sure the heck can appreciate the aroma that hits you as soon as you walk into this place. Make sure to send me a nice thank you note in the comments after you visit! :)
Wildwood Smokehouse
Maine Munchies (stupid Google had no other “M” words for food!)
Everything here is super fresh, large portions and they cater to both vegan/vegetarian and meat eaters. Basically lunch and dinner joint, but breakfast available on weekends. Very much worth a try!
Wilton, ME - Salt & Pepper and Sugar too
OOB, Maine - my family vacations at old Orchard Beach every year and has for the past 20 or so years. Every year, we try discover a new place to mix in with our well established favorites. This was the one last year. Bagel sandwiches were amazing, t...
Menu
Old Orchard Beach, ME - IYKYK. This is only a couple of blocks from our hotel, and has become a staple of our vacations. Super fresh ingredients, great breakfast lunch, and dinner available on the go with a couple of tables inside and more outside. ...
Dolce Crema Cafe
Portland, ME - Another glorious happy accident that we found over a meandering weekend up North. Definite farm to table vibe, super fresh everything, and they do Brunch, Lunch and Dinner. Worthy of the list for sure!
Central Provisions
Connecticut Comestibles (How’s that for a .10 cent word?)
North Stonington, CT - O.M.GEEEEEEE! The whipped ricotta dip alone is worth however far you have to drive to get it. The crispy Brussels sprouts, WITH CRÈME FRAICHE??? Dear lord, I should have worn sweatpants! And my guys burger looked AMAZING (h...
Home | The Tin Peddler
Middletown, CT - This one was fun! Absolutely unpretentious, sitting in the middle of a residential neighborhood, and it somehow fit right in. Atmosphere, food and libations were all on point, prices were reasonable, and it was super cozy. 10 out ...
Home - Harrie's Jailhouse - Middletown, CT
Westport, CT - I would be remiss, as a vegetarian, to not include some sort of asian cuisine on my list, and this one checks ALL the boxes! They are very accomodating when I told them I was vegetarian, and created a lovely mish-mash of rice, veggies, and some kind of mouth watering sauce that had me close to drooling. The veggie spring rolls were super crispy, just like I like them, and the atmosphere was lively, but not overwhelmingly loud. All in all, a great experience, and gets our seal of approval!
