East Coasting: The Ultimate Roadtripper’s Guide to New England

Discover the ultimate illustrated guide to road-tripping up through historic New England, and the must-visit spots along the way.

This beautifully illustrated guide to roadtripping through New England spans Connecticut to Maine and explores inland destinations in Vermont, New Hampshire, weekend trips to the Berkshires, and even crosses over the Canadian border to Nova Scotia.

In the spirit of Danielle Kroll’s Pacific Coasting (Artisan 2021), East Coasting is a fun ride. All across New England, there’s so much to see and do--Mystic, Providence, Salem, Portland, must-visit museums, bookstores, fooderies, and more. Go antiquing in Stonington, CT. Take a quick ferry ride to Martha’s Vineyard. Visit Horseneck Beach, MA, on a glorious summer morning. A weekend getaway to Portland, ME, is a must, where you can feast your way through the city. And is there any better time than autumn, when the whole of New England is alight with changing leaves. Unless it’s a beautiful snowy winter day in New Hampshire or Vermont, with its pristine beauty and opportunities for winter sporting.

East Coasting is for those who reside in New England, who want to visit New England, who need a gift for someone who loves New England, and for armchair travelers alike.
