from the editor
Welcome to 2017 ! A new year is here and it ' s just waiting to awaken the wanderlust within each of us .
Here in the Mid-Atlantic , the trees are bare and the weather forecast has been teasing us with reports of potential snow . The thrill and anticipation of the holiday season is but a distant memory and cabin fever just might be nipping at the heels . Visions of sugar plums have been replaced by dreams of heading north to breakout the skis for the season , or heading south ( especially as winter wears on ) to bask in the sun ' s restorative rays .
This issue features some wonderfully warm and inviting New England getaways as well as tips on getting the most out of a Key West adventure . Whether you ' re aiming to hit the art scene , investigate local history , or dine on hyper-local cuisine , bundle up in that parka ( or beach towel ) and enjoy all the East Coast has to offer .
