Weekend in
Day One · May 8
Depart Boston by 4:00 PM via I-91 North (3.5 hours; arrive ~7:30 PM). Check into your Airbnb in the Old North End neighbourhood, then head directly to City Hall Park for a casual dinner from one of the food carts (often rotating Vietnamese, Mexican, or Italian street vendors) or grab takeaway from Farmhouse Tap & Grill—a neighborhood institution with excellent local craft beer and casual vibe. Eat waterside overlooking Lake Champlain as the sun sets. Walk off dinner along the Burlington Waterfront Trail (paved, easy, magical at dusk).
Day Two · May 9
Start at Intervale Community Garden & Farmers Market (opens 8:00 AM Saturdays)—a sprawling producer-only market where you'll meet farmers and foragers directly. Buy fresh berries, artisan bread, and local honey for snacking. Grab a strong coffee from Cosmic Grind (tiny, local-roasted specialty spot). Spend 90 minutes immersed in the market rhythm.
Rent a car via Turo (reserve in advance; ~$60/day). Drive 30 minutes south to Camel's Hump State Park—Vermont's most distinctive mountain. Hike the Burrows Trail (2.5-hour round trip, moderate, spectacular 360° views). The rocky summit rewards the climb. Pack the market snacks. Return to Burlington by 4:30 PM.
Shower and head to Pine Street (Burlington's creative neighborhood strip). Grab dinner from The Farmhouse or street vendors near the Burlington City Arts Centre, then experience live music at Higher Ground (if a band you like is playing) or catch an outdoor film if available at City Hall Park. Alternatively, casual beers and late bites at Foam Brewers (unpretentious, local craft brewery with food trucks outside).
Day Three · May 10
Brunch at Penny Cluse Cafe—a Burlington institution with lines for a reason: extraordinary pastries, eggs, and coffee. Arrive by 8:15 AM to beat the crowd. After, visit St. Michael's College or walk the Waterfront Trail north to explore the less-trafficked stretches and spot osprey and lake wildlife.
Leave by 12:30 PM to return to Boston by 4:00 PM. Take the scenic route south via VT-100 (famous for foliage, still gorgeous in May) through the village of Waterbury (30 minutes out of the way but worth 20 minutes to stroll the town green and grab a final local coffee). Rejoin I-91 South from there.
