Signature Talks

  • From Necco wafers to whoopie pies, the sweet story of New England's baked, fried, dipped, sugared, and frozen confections.

  • The historic landmarks and wonderfully tacky roadside attractions along Route 1 in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.

  • The stories behind the brick and granite walls of Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market that most visitors (and even many locals) have never heard.

  • The people and places behind candlepin bowling, one of the region’s most challenging— and quirkiest—pastimes.
