The atmosphere is rustic, service down-to-earth and there’s even a gift shop and covered bridge on the premises. More on Parker’s<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThis cozy, restored 1840s farmhouse resides in a classic Connecticut small town (village green, private school, tall white church with steeple, antique shops, slower pace of life) and is ideal for exceptional sandwiches and salads, coffee, made-from-scratch dinners, incredible chili, and delectable homemade desserts. Nighttime brings occasional entertainment with some artists known on a national level like Lori McKenna and Utah Phillips. More on The Vanilla Bean Cafe<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a> The Lyndon Freighthouse offers organic and natural-based breakfasts and lunches, and also features a gift shop and ice cream parlor. The homemade breads, locally-sourced eggs and maple syrup, and organic cheeses and beef burgers make for a healthier alternative without compromising taste. Actually housed in a former freighthouse, the historic atmosphere is pleasingly countrified and the restaurant’s location is ideal for area leaf peeping in the unspoiled, pristine Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
