Hidden Gems -
weekends with yankee

New England is filled with hidden gems, and this week on Weekends with Yankee, we highlight a few of our favorites. First up is Boston's legendary Fenway Park and its Green Monster-both are well known, but behind the Green Monster we also find a tucked-away garden that provides fresh vegetables to food vendors throughout Fenway. Next, we journey to Chebeague Island, off the coast of southern Maine, to visit a decades-old, family-run inn and harvest oysters straight from the waters of Casco Bay. Finally, learn why glamping is all the rage with our look at the brand-new Sandy Pines Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine, where we feast on gourmet s'mores by the campfire. Back in the Test Kitchen, cohost and Yankee senior food editor Amy Traverso takes inspiration from those same decadent s'mores to create a uniquely delicious chocolate tart.

About Weekends with Yankee:

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE is a 13-part travel and lifestyle series named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years.

With New England among the nation's top tourist destinations, the magazine-style program takes viewers on an insider's exploration of the cities, countryside locales and far-flung places in the quaint and scenic region.

The series is hosted by Richard Wiese, (Born to Explore) , an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, author and explorer who has traveled to all seven continents, participated in two expeditions to Antarctica, and cross-country skied to the North Pole.

Amy Traverso, a senior food editor at Yankee magazine who has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, joins Richard as co-host.

She highlights recipes, local flavors and the sense of community that make up the regions' food and dining scene.

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE offers an "all-access" behind-the-scenes pass to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know.
