1. Eat fresh-caught lobster by the coast. While a high-end lobster dinner can be a classic, many locals favor fast-casual dishes like lobster mac and cheese or an iconic Maine lobster roll.
2. Take a cheap ferry from Portland to one of the many beautiful islands along the Atlantic coast. Maine has many islands to explore, hike, and take in the views on a low-cost day trip.
2. Enjoy a breakfast complete with some delicious maple syrup harvested in Vermont. If you’re feeling bold, sample the local sweet delicacy known as maple candy!
