For many, no visit to New Haven is complete without a stop at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, Sally’s Apizza, or both! Sometimes, New Haven pizza is the reason for the whole trip.

Restaurant Review: Trio, Narragansett, RI
The folks at Newport Restaurant Group know what they’re doing. Trio is their seventh restaurant in the Ocean State (perhaps you’re familiar with the Castle Hill Inn or The Mooring). As the name might suggest, Trio is a triple threat of well-crafted cuisine, spot-on service, and breathtaking views of Narragansett Bay. The open-view kitchen hums […]

Winter Sports and Love
A good friend of mine met her husband online. It’s a great twenty-first century sort of love story because not only did they meet online, fall in love and get married, but both of their respective exes, ex-wife and ex-boyfriend, met online, fell in love and got married to each other. Instead of Wife Swap, […]

White Mountain Guide, Rescuer, Photographer
If you’re lost or injured in a winter storm in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, you want Joe Lentini searching for you. He knows what he’s doing when it’s 40 below and blowing so hard you can’t speak … when lowering a litter down a rock face at night can be catastrophic if there’s a mishap. […]

Jericho Village, VT: ‘Snowflake’ Bentley
Vermonters know snow. Most can trace their relationship with the substance along the shooting pains in their lower backs. That’s why Wilson A. “Snowflake” Bentley’s obsession was so unexpected. While his neighbors were cheering the coming of spring, he’d mourn each melting flake as “just that much beauty…gone, without leaving any record behind.” Home-schooled and […]

Restaurant Review: City Limits, Stamford, CT
There’s not a lot of praise out there for the Connecticut stretch of I-95, but City Limits, a dining hybrid of sorts, is a welcome and delicious respite from the inevitable road construction and tailgating. No matter that this place has an identity issue: It calls itself a diner–and the clean, vivid colors, and bright […]

Overnight at Mt. Washington Observatory
