Must go for the biscuits and herb gravy. Trust me. Expect at lease a 45 minute wait on weekends. Get a cup of coffee at Uncommon Ground and stroll Church Street until it's your turn. Lunch is also great. Personal fav is the orzo salad. Closes at 3:00 pm.

Best coffee shop in Burlington. Funky vibe. Old wood on walls, a stone wall with hidden notes from other patrons, one wall covered in plants. AND they have heavy cream for your coffee, you just need to ask.

Technically a coffee shop but that's way too simple a description. Funky, artsy, live music. Daytime for coffee. Evenings for wine and music. Grab a Seven Days or or a copy of War & Peace and spend the day. Talk to people. Hang out. Don't be intimidated by the sheer coolness of the place. You are way cool enough. Besides not being cool is only a different form of cool.

True story: Before the food/coffee/bake shop opened they advertised by tweeting, "Coming August 1st." When it came time to pick a name followers naturally said, "August First." Breakfast, lunch, bakery, coffee. Take home a loaf of bread.

If you could afford to stay there you wouldn't be staying at my house! So just go see it. It's the lodge the Von Trapp family built after they escaped Austria and came to Vermont (Sound of Music.) Views are stunning. Highland cattle in pasture. Vast hiking trails and cross-country skiing.

Founded by Electra Havemeyer Webb. It's a collection of buildings Webb thought important to preserve. Houses, country stores, blacksmith shops, art galleries. Wear your walking shoes. "Mrs. Webb created something completely unprecedented for her time: world-class collections in a village-like setting of historic New England buildings and landscapes; a welcoming and informal place for visitors to engage with history through objects that tell stories."
