9 Best Small Food Towns

A lakeside town in Vermont (one of Vermont’s largest), Burlington is an unassuming hub of laid-back culture and food. Closer to Montreal (2 ½ hours) than to Boston (4 hours), Burlington offers as much to do as it does to eat – which is to say: plenty. After your tour of the Magic Hat Brewing Company and a stop at the Aquarium, head to Union Jack’s for a lip-smacking sandwich, more beer and regional cuisine at Bluebird Tavern, or head to L’Amante for their much-loved Italian dishes.
