Blue Moon Cafe
Quiet, out-of-the-way, and unpretentious, the Blue Moon goes about its business of serving up local game and produce. The menu changes weekly; salmon, lamb, and shellfish are particular standouts. [DETAILS]
Edelweiss
Ralf LaBelle has created a Vermont college town’s version of a Viennese konditorei, where afternoon strollers might stop for a slice of hazelnut torte ($3.25) or some fantasy of marzipan and whipped cream. There’s always a fine selection of cakes and tortes available by the slice, and individual pastries, cookies, and scones. Enjoy your treats right on the premises, along with a great selection of breakfast items and sandwiches. On "Pasta Wednesdays," Edelweiss opens for dinner, with offerings such as spaghetti with marinara sauce ($8.95) and stuffed shells and crab ($14.25). [DETAILS]
Stella Notte Restaurant and Bistro
Fine northern Italian cuisine. [DETAILS]
The Slow Lane: Biking, Gliding, Kayaking
Take advantage of the serenity around you. Perhaps you'll want to park your car and indulge in a more tranquil way to glide amidst Lamoille's carpet of color.
Skier Shop
Rent bikes here and try biking Stowe's 5.5-mile Recreation Trail, which begins in the village and follows Route 108 and the West Branch of the Waterbury River to Topnotch Resort. [DETAILS]
Umiak Outfitters
Rent a boat and canoe or kayak Green River Reservoir, in a primitive state park just north of Morrisville. [DETAILS]
Stowe Mountain Resort: Aerial Gondola
Offering a 10-minute trip up Mount Mansfield, the loftiest point in Vermont. The vistas from the top are sublime. [DETAILS]
Stowe Soaring
See the Green Mountains the way falcons do--sleek, silent gliders carry a pilot plus one or two passengers on flights lasting from 10 minutes to one hour. Ride thermals high above Mount Elmore, or even over Mount Mansfield and Smugglers’ Notch. [DETAILS]

Great story for this part of Vermont. I am hoping you will do the same for The Lakes Region partially in Southern Vermont. Keep up the good work!

We have been up to "Jeff" and the surrounding area many times and highly recommend spending time up there. The scenery is GREAT and the local people are fantastic and the food is the best in New England. Can't wait to get back there to enjoy again. Robert Skibniewski Cheektowaga, New York.
