Top 5 Reasons Why There’s No England Like New England
So you might know by now, I was born, grew up and worked in New England until I abruptly took a job in the Midwest at 32 and moved away.
After spending my entire life from Boston to New Haven to Keene, it was a change and left me missing home for sure, none more so than this top 5!
Here's just a few reasons its so darn good to be living in Dover and a roughly two-hour drive home to my mom in Providence, Rhode Island. (I do it in less than 2 but don't tell the Massachusetts Staties that please).

New England's pro sports teams (and the college teams are nothing to sneeze at either) are storied dynasties. There's just nothing like getting a beer on Yawkey Way before a Sox game or watching Tom Brady throw an incredible pass for a "down to the last minute" come-from-behind win! #GOAT

Maine Lobster, Rhode Island Quahogs, clam cakes and chowder... but it's not just seafood. How about the original hamburger at Louie's Lunch by Yale's campus? Pasta in Boston's North End or Providence's Federal Hill? And you'd be hard pressed to find better brews on tap than at Hampton Beach Casino in NH!
