Our Home: Your Tourist Destination

Burlington...

This charming lake side city in Vermont is not only just a college town but also an extremely popular tourist destination. The green mountains, Lake Champlain, local farms, and renown nearby skiing attracts people from all over the world. One aspect of Burlington's attractiveness that often goes overlooked is the food, but everyone knows that a tourist's primary concern during his vacation is good food and plenty of beer.. Of the latter Burlington boasts some of the most notable breweries around through Magic Hat and many other local lagers. 

Foodwise the metropolitan area is home to an array of unique restaurants and types of food. For my interest I will focus on a couple of the more heavy influences. French food through the long lasting impact of French colonization in the Champlain valley region coupled with the steady influx of tourists form Quebec has allowed for a heavy population of French foods and Restaurants. Leunig's Bistro is a perfect example. This classy cuisine never serves to disappoint, a suitable restaurant for all times of the day the menu screams parisian delicacies. Another example can be seen by the creperie, Skinny Pancake, a staple of French culture. 

Personally, I am the biggest advocate of our Farmer's Market. With local produce, Vermont cheeses, and an array of cultural foods. Refugees and immigrants have graced us with many local foods, including my favorite, the Samosa. 

So next time you think of Burlington as a boring college town, think again this culturally rich area boasts some of the best foods around and therefore will always remain a popular tourist destination.
