            <title>Strong Summer Travel Season Predicted for New England Based on Current Economy</title>
            <link>http://www.yankeemagazine.com/contact/pressroom/summertravel</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Dublin, New Hampshire (July 1, 2008) - With gas prices rising and airlines increasing fares and reducing flights, many people are opting to vacation closer to home. &lt;em&gt;Yankee Magazine's&lt;/em&gt; editor Mel Allen predicts that the summer of 2008 will be a banner year for New England tourism based on the economy and the resulting vacation trend: taking shorter vacations closer to home. Working at the 73-year-old publication described as &quot;New England's Magazine&quot; for more than 20 years qualifies him as an expert on the subject. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Unlike any other area in the country, New England is both compact and diverse,&quot; says Allen. &quot;You can go from the Northeast's highest mountains to the seacoast in under two hours. There are so many small towns filled with attractions where you can spend a weekend or week without using your car.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Allen also predicts that high gas prices may inspire a back-to-nature movement for younger children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;No one likes paying four dollars a gallon for gas, but out of necessity it makes people more aware of conserving. This will spawn a whole new generation of kids who enjoy simple pleasures like camping and riding bikes,&quot; says Mel. &quot;When we look back in ten years, I think this summer will mark a significant change in the way we travel.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For summer trip ideas and vacation planning tools visit the travel page at YankeeMagazine.com or pick up the July/August issue on newsstands now. In it, &lt;em&gt;Yankee Magazine&lt;/em&gt; asked Christina Tree, an award-winning, New England-based travel writer and author, to name her five favorite places to stay in New England in the July/August issue. Her picks, if she could only stay at five places, include: &lt;/p&gt;

And in the &quot;About New England&quot; section, readers learn what to see and do in each state and can read archived articles specific to their destinations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More than 70 judges, representing publications such as &lt;em&gt;Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, O, The Oprah Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, Sports Illustrated, Better Homes and Gardens, Good Housekeeping, Essence, Men's Journal, the New York Times, Gourmet, Food &amp;amp; Wine, Folio:, AARP The Magazine, Bon Appétit, ESPN The Magazine, the Washington Post, Country Home,&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;Chicago Tribune&lt;/em&gt;, as well as professors from the Missouri School of Journalism, selected the finalists.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>Yankee's Travel Guide Offers Expert Advice for New England Getaways</title>
            <link>http://www.yankeemagazine.com/contact/pressroom/travelguide08</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Dublin, New Hampshire (April 2008)--&lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England: Special 2008 Travel Issue&lt;/i&gt; features great escapes across the six-state region, from Vermont's forested lakeshore to Rhode Island's glorious sunsets. On newsstands from May 6 through the end of August, it names 244 Editors' Choice winners for 2008, which include &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; editors' and contributors' favorite restaurants, lodgings, and attractions in New England, with information resources divided by state and region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;The wonder of New England is how compact this region is,&quot; says Mel Allen, &lt;i&gt;Yankee's&lt;/i&gt; editor.  &quot;All the places you see in this special travel issue are within a few hours' drive of one another. New England gives travelers more variety, more choices, in less area than anywhere else in America. We've done our best to capture all the diversity these six states offer.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The issue includes five feature travel stories, covering the art scene in Connecticut; ocean 
views in Jamestown, Rhode Island; the Black Heritage Trail in Boston; Lake Champlain's 
islands in Vermont; New Hampshire's small but impressive coastline; and moose viewing in 
Maine. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other articles in the &lt;i&gt;Travel Guide&lt;/i&gt; include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Home at the Hawthorne Inn&quot;: a Concord, Massachusetts, B&amp;amp;B&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Real Solutions&quot;: warm-weather gardening tips&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;How'd They Do That?&quot;: creating an outdoor shower for $250&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The Maine Course&quot;: profiles of five notable Portland chefs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Homegrown&quot;: New England's beekeepers market a range of honeys &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Travel Guide&lt;/i&gt; also lists the top 20 summer events in each of New England's six states.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more than 30 years, &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England &lt;/i&gt;has been the most 
widely distributed and best-selling guide to the six-state region, providing readers with a 
comprehensive vacation planning tool and daily reference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; editor Mel Allen, senior editor/food Annie B. Copps, and other members of the 
magazine staff are available for on-air interviews about stories in the Travel Guide. &lt;/p&gt;

            <title>Revisiting a Holiday Cookie Exchange 25 Years Later</title>
            <link>http://www.yankeemagazine.com/contact/pressroom/cookieexchange</link>
            <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DUBLIN, New Hampshire (October 19, 2007)--The November/December issue of &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine&lt;/i&gt; revisits a story first published in 1982 about the Wellesley, Massachusetts, Cookie Exchange, exploring the phenomenon of friends and neighbors sharing their favorite sweets. The 2007 version includes the members of a new generation who are carrying on the tradition by hosting their own cookie exchanges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;In the original article, we ran a short note asking readers to send us a self-addressed, stamped envelope and we'd send back a batch of cookie recipes,&quot; said &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; Editor Mel Allen. &quot;The envelopes came--20,000 strong--I'll never forget it.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This time around, Allen decided to include recipes such as almond crescent cookies, gingerbread boys, and more in the article itself. Additional recipes are available online in Yankee's Recipe Database, where viewers can save their favorite items in an online Recipe Box for easy access. There's also a special cookie exchange discussion in YankeeMagazine.com's online forum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For more information and tips for starting your own holiday cookie swap, plus additional cookie recipes from Yankee readers, visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.YankeeMagazine.com&quot;&gt;www.YankeeMagazine.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;c&gt;# # #&lt;c/&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note to media: &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; welcomes the media to interview our writers and editors, who are experts on New England.

            <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DUBLIN, New Hampshire (October 19, 2007)--&lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine's&lt;/i&gt; November/December issue features 24 easy and elegant recipes, including &lt;i&gt;Yankee's&lt;/i&gt; most famous cookies ever. The &quot;Home for the Holidays&quot; issue, on sale October 28, 2007, also explores the traditions, warmth, and giving associated with the holiday season.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I don't know whether a single issue of a magazine can be a gift, but in these pages we've tried to distill what the holidays mean to us,&quot; says Editor Mel Allen. &quot;Just as opening the door of a loved one's home promises good cheer within, we hope that each page of this issue of &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; brings you special pleasure.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is an overview of some articles from the current issue.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Angels (p. 122): &quot;Angels Among Us, 2007,&quot; by Carol Cambo, features five New Englanders who have made a difference in the lives of others. Last year, &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine&lt;/i&gt; ran its first &quot;Angels Among Us&quot; article, which resulted in such positive reader response that for this year's holiday issue, editor Mel Allen decided to continue the tradition of recognizing New Englanders who make a difference.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Orphan Holidays (p. 118): Holiday images usually focus on large family gatherings and festive, happy scenes. However, being alone is a reality for many people, making the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's a difficult time. Edie Clark, the beloved writer of &quot;Mary's Farm,&quot; a column in &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine&lt;/i&gt;, explores this issue in &quot;Orphan Holidays,&quot; a special edition of &quot;Mary's Farm&quot; excerpted from Saturday Beans &amp; Sunday Suppers, Clark's newly released memoir about special people, special places, and special foods, available now at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.edieclark.com&quot;&gt;www.edieclark.com&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sweet Exchange (p. 78): The November/December issue of &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine&lt;/i&gt; revisits a story first published in 1982 about the Wellesley, Massachusetts, Cookie Exchange, exploring the phenomenon of friends and neighbors sharing their favorite sweets. The 2007 version includes the members of a new generation, who are carrying on the tradition by hosting their own cookie exchanges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Easy, Elegant, Delicious...(p. 102): &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; presents a showstopping array of holiday recipes--every dish simple to prepare.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let the Spirit Move You (p. 58): Matthew Mead, New England's decorating genius, whose client list includes national chain stores, magazines, and more, offers tips to help readers style their homes from Thanksgiving through the New Year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Holiday Gift Guide (p. 28): &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine&lt;/i&gt; searched the region to find some of the best classic-yet-innovative toys to delight children this holiday season. The six items are featured in &quot;Jingle All the Way,&quot; Yankee's &quot;New England's Finest&quot; column for November/December.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An Island Captured (p. 96): Block Island photographer Malcolm Greenaway's pictures are featured in &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine's&lt;/i&gt; November/December issue. In addition to showcasing some of Greenaway's island photographs, the article also includes vivid descriptions of the circumstances that allowed him to capture such rare scenes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Most Surprising City in New England (p. 38): Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is featured in &lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine's&lt;/i&gt; November/December &quot;Travel&quot; section, highlighting the city's rebirth as the cultural capital of the Berkshires.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;# # #&lt;br&gt;Note to media: &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; welcomes the media to interview our writers and editors, who are experts on New England.

            <description>&lt;i&gt;Discover What to Do and Where to Go This Autumn&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contact:&lt;br /&gt;Heather Atwell&lt;br /&gt;Communications Manager&lt;br /&gt;Ph. 603-563-8111, ext. 180&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:heathera@yankeepub.com&quot;&gt;heathera@yankeepub.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DUBLIN, New Hampshire (August 22, 2007) --&lt;i&gt;Yankee Magazine'&lt;/i&gt;s September/October issue features more than 100 ways to enjoy autumn in New England. Foliage takes top billing this fall, and &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; offers the best ways to enjoy the landscape. &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; also examines the benefits of eating local and fresh, a movement that's gaining momentum across New England. The current issue is available where magazines are sold on August 28, 2007, and costs $3.99.&lt;p&gt;&quot;Our job at &lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; is to remind our readers that fall is much more than a chance to capture peak color,&quot; said Editor Mel Allen. &quot;The magic of a New England fall lies in the shadings -- all the colors in between the exuberant scarlets and crimsons.&quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;FALL FOLIAGE&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Foliage Drives in Vermont (p. 36): &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; travels to Lamoille County, Vermont, to explore the spectacular foliage you can view on two back-road drives. Additional foliage podcast driving tours are available at YankeeFoliage.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;15 Bests for Fall Foliage (p. 94):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; offers 15 bests -- fall-themed things to do, places to go, and thoughts to ponder, covering biking, paddling, nibbling, and more.&lt;/br &gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Lost in a Corn Maze on a Family Day-Trip (p. 48): &lt;/b&gt; Getting out of Davis' Mega Maze in Sterling, Massachusetts, can take anywhere from 23 minutes to six hours and offers a great time for fun family bonding. More New England mazes will be listed in 10 Things to Do on the Web @ YankeeMagazine.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;EAT LOCAL&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can a Diner Change How America Eats? (p. 114): &lt;/b&gt;The menu at the Farmers Diner in Quechee, Vermont, uses affordable locally grown and made products based on the local-food movement now burgeoning across New England.&lt;/br &gt;&lt;b&gt;Eat Your Vegetables (p. 76): &lt;/b&gt;Celebrate the bounty of the season with fresh-picked local vegetables in delicious and inventive recipes, such as Latin-Styled Grilled Corn, Curried Butternut Squash, Zucchine Secche, and many more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Baker Whose Food Mantra Is Local, Seasonal, Organic (p. 86): &lt;/b&gt;  Edie Clark introduces readers to Cheryl Wixson of Bangor, Maine, who shares her recipes for Oatmeal Bread and Black Olive and Garlic French Bread. Wixson says, &quot;It's only good when it's grown in season, near where you live.&quot;&lt;p&gt;For more information on New England foliage - and to learn the dos and don'ts of fall travel, plus photo tips, fall facts, fall coloring pages, hotline numbers, and more - go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.&lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt;Foliage.com&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt;Foliage.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;###&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yankee&lt;/i&gt; welcomes the media to interview our writers and editors, who are experts on where to go and what to do during autumn in New England.
