Newburyport, MA

• coffee and quiche at Joppa Fine Foods, then walk along the water and watch the boats

Rye, NH

• Jenness Beach day: açaí bowl at Summer Sessions, swim, nap, repeat. End the beach day at Rye Harbor for lobster or a to-go tray of oysters.

Portland, ME

• Pre-dinner at Cutie’s then chow at Mr. Tuna. Spend the night at Long Fellow Hotel. Coffee at Tandem then massages at the Hotel in the morning. Vintage shopping downtown. Strawberry Matcha at Onggi, Lunch at Luncheonette.
