This week on Weekends with Yankee, co-host Richard Wiese heads north to Maine for an up-close look at one of the most-photographed lighthouses in the world, Nubble Light. After taking an insider tour, he gets a new perspective on the historic beacon by seeing how it inspires artists, from lighthouse keeper and photographer Matt Rosenberg to Celtic fiddler Mairead Nesbitt. Then it's off to Boston's famed Italian neighborhood, the North End, where co-host Amy Traverso stops in at the Revolutionary-era print shop of Edes & Gill to try her hand on a reproduction Gutenburg printing press. Then she heads to beloved seafood restaurant Neptune Oyster, to sample fresh oysters and learn to make chef Joaquin Sepulveda's signature Johnnycakes with Bluefish Pate, and wraps up her visit with a cannoli from Modern Pastry. Finally, we make our way north to Woodstock, Vermont, to meet well-known potter James Zillian, founder of internationally acclaimed Farmhouse Pottery.

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.
