Food Scene
One of the few elevated restaurants in Burlington – but the vide (like most things in Vermont) is quirky and casual. Amazing small mediterranean mezze plates. Great for a meal or apps and drinks. I loved their Tahini sundae!

The jewel of Burlington's food scene.
If you don't want to have a full meal, cozy up to the bar or fire place. They do dollar oysters from 4 to 5 p.m. and 10 to 11 p.m.
I also love eating at Hotel Vermont next door.

Great fresh juices, smoothies, coffee and light food. A bit pricey but it’s also well sourced food. (There are many other fun little spots in the same building, including Co cellars, Conan Brass lighting, Rack & Ruin jewelry / vintage, and a few more.

167 Main StNight scene. Younger crowd – 20s - 30s. Good pizza. Live music sometimes.
*Only on Friday evenings.
This is a memebers-only social club but it's open to the public on Fridays. Karaoke starts at 8 (this is a blue-collar type of scene). The venue is very bare-bones but it's on one of the prettiest pieces of property in Burlington, right on the lake. Drinks are really cheap and you can get no-frills food for $5-$10 and eat on the grass while you watch the sun go down over the mountains.

A mashup of a winery and cider tasting room. Named to the NYT’s best 100 places list. (In the Soda Plant building with several other cool shops and stalls— walk around the whole building from the outside/ inside to see them all!)

A must for those who like to walk or bike.
This is the very end of the 12-mile Burlington Bike Path. You can bike all the way here from Burlington (rent bikes at Local Motion, Ski Rack, or Outdoor Gear Exchange) or you can drive to the park area and walk from there. The narrow path goes right out into the lake so you have water on both sides of you and amazing views of the mountains.
* If you're an avid biker you can continue on the bike ferry (in summer months) up into the Champlain Islands).
I highly recommend!

The sunset ridge trail up Mount Mansfield offers the best views above treeline on a Vermont hike. It's about a 6-7 mile hike with some scrabbling up rocks required. But the views are worth it.
In the late fall/spring you will want good shoes and hiking poles are reccomended for slippery rocks at the top.
