Best of New England
weekends with yankee

This week on Weekends with Yankee, we see the very best of New England. Our journey begins in Hanover, New Hampshire, which Yankee magazine editors say "might just be the best college town of all." Then it's south to Rhode Island, where cohost Richard Wiese strolls through The Elms, one of the most breathtaking of Newport's Gilded Age mansions. Finally, we head to Martha's Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts, for some of the most succulent sea scallops in the world. Back in the Test Kitchen, co-host and Yankee senior food editor Amy Traverso shows us how to pull off a terrific, easy-to-make baked scallop dish.

Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds

Episode Number: 209

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.
