May/June 2009 Travel Guide Offers 270 Reasons to Visit New England

DUBLIN, New Hampshire (April 2009)–Yankee Magazine’s 2009 Travel Guide hits newsstands on April 28 and offers 270 reasons to see New England, including 254 “Best of New England — Editors’ Choice” selections where visitors can find the best foods and refreshments, lodging, attractions, and bargains. This special issue also names 120 top events around the region and includes food, home, and garden articles.

“Travel may never have been as important to our psyche as it is now; we may have lost money, but not curiosity,” says Yankee editor Mel Allen. “We still need the fun and adventure and stimulation that travel, more than anything else, gives us. And no place I know lets you see so much–from mountains and deep, clear lakes to storybook villages and world-class museums, all within a few hours of one another–as New England does.”
