August 12, 2013 Simon Pearce

On our way to Vermont, we always stop at Simon Pearce. It’s about halfway and what a lovely place to stop and stretch our legs. They don’t take reservations for lunch, but we arrived on the later side on Friday afternoon and there isn’t much of a crowd. A quick refreshing drink to start off […]

March 20, 2013 Vermont for Non Skiers

We decided to take a trip up to Stowe. It was just after the blizzard like weather here, so it took us an hour just to get out of Boston and onto the highway. The ride wasn’t great, this is what our car looked like after being two hours on the road, covered in an […]

July 12, 2011 Vermont part 2

We were on our way out of town and stopped at Laughing Moon Chocolates. We had been there before and loved it, so we figured we would grab some goodies for the road!! We picked out some good stuff while be entertained by the owner’s young son – he was showing us his karate moves! […]

June 29, 2011 Vermont

Welcome to four days of complete relaxation. We went up to Stowe, Vermont, to the Stowe Mountain Lodge. We have been here in the winter time, and decided to see what summer was like. Our first reaction…it’s so….green! We have a view of the front driveway from our room, with the mountains in the back. […]

February 27, 2010 Bove’s (Vermont)

I saw this place on Food Network quite some time ago. We went last year to get some take out, but this year, we dined in. If you are looking for fine dining, find some other place. This place is a bang for your buck, old school style kind of place. There were people with […]

February 26, 2010 Pie in the Sky (Vermont)

One word. Yum. This place has some great pizza. Pie in the sky is great for everyone, couples, families, and large groups. A casual pizza place with ample seating. There’s a sun room area, a main dining area, and a bar in the front that you can sit at and watch them make the pizzas […]

February 26, 2010 Depot Street Malt Shop (Vermont)

  I have been coming here for years. Depot street is a cute little 50’s style diner in town. They have booth and table seating and a ice cream bar in the back by the soda fountain. Soda fountains are a  thing of the past and people love the nostalgia of it. They have a […]

February 23, 2010 Cliff House (Vermont)

There was a lot of confusion about the Cliff House restaurant. You take the gondola up to the summit (3,625 feet) from the base of the mountain. There are signs when you drive up the mountain-pull into the parking lot on the left hand side. There is a gondola from the Stowe Mountain Lodge, but […]

February 23, 2010 Butler’s Restaurant and Tavern (Vermont)

Essex is about 10 minutes from Burlington. The Essex hotel is part of the culinary institute, students make all the food that is served in the restaurant. The hotel is charming. Butler’s tavern is the casual lunch area, the formal area I assume is only for dinner. I had heard mixed reviews about this place. […]

February 23, 2010 Mirabelle’s (Vermont)

A cute little shop in downtown Burlington, right off the main strip. It’s cute. There are some tables, you can order breakfast or lunch. They have sandwiches, soups and paninis. We ordered some pastries from the counter, there were so many choices. They have whole pies and cakes in the case as well as cupcakes, […]
