Portland, Maine
For foodie couples seeking a weekend getaway, misty Portland has become a must-visit destination on the East Coast. Hold hands and stroll through the up-and-coming Arts District, cozy up at the trendy Duckfat for a shared poutine and duck confit lunch, take a scenic lobster-boat tour, and dine at the rustic Fore Street restaurant. Then head a half-hour south to Hidden Pond, a hideaway near Kennebunkport that offers posh cabins complete with four-poster beds and fireplaces. Earth, the resort’s award-winning farm-to-fork restaurant, has a hot young chef who draws a plugged-in crowd from Boston to Portland. Hidden Pond also features yoga in the gardens, beach cruisers to ride to nearby Goose Rocks Beach, and stand-up paddle-boarding lessons. On the other hand, breakfast is delivered discreetly to your doorstep each morning, so you may just want to stay in bed and plan your next meal.
