Shopping - New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT)

Shopping in Portland, Bangor, Acadia, Bar Harbor and the Maine Coast For those of you who are "shop-o-holics," the Maine Coast is the place for you. Malls and chain stores can be found, but it's the out of the way boutiques and bric-a-brac shops that really grab you here. Everything from nautical-themed specialty stores to a virtual cornucopia of antique shops are within a stone's throw from just about anywhere you happen to be in the region. Think quaint. Art galleries and small specialty shops are the rule here. Shopping in Burlington, Stowe, Rutland and the New Hampshire and Vermont Mountains You've just got to try the local treats the New Hampshire and Vermont region has on offer! Maple syrup, sugar and maple sugar candy, for example, come directly from local trees and are absolutely delicious! Regional arts and crafts can often be found in small towns and tourist areas such as Portsmouth, in New Hampshire, and Burlington and Manchester, in Vermont. This is truly an area for antiquing and finding unique regional trinkets, especially in Concord, New Hampshire, and Montpelier, Vermont. Shopping in Boston, Cape Cod, Newport, Mystic, Connecticut, Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island One of the great things about the coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island region is that even shopping can be a historical experience. Antique shops abound, as do art galleries that feature paintings and sculptures with a nautical theme. There are so many little boutiques and galleries that you can't possible hit them all…but you can have a grand time trying (and buying).
