The Inn at Montchanin Village- Montchanin, DE
Although New Jersey may be widely known as the Garden State, I feel that title should definitely go to Delaware. Yes, Delaware, the small state that most people don't think much about- excluding Joe Biden, of course. Thanks largely to the DuPont family and its vast fortune, Delaware has a ridiculous number of insanely beautiful gardens, and several are located a mere stone's throw from the charming Inn at Montchanin Village.

Ministry of Brewing- Baltimore, MD
Ministry of Brewing combines reuse, preservation, and beer- so I'm all in. Although it's been on my radar for a few years, I just recently made it back to Baltimore for the first time in ages. Always a favorite city of mine, it just feels comfortable and lived in to me, like well worn shoes- despite what some might think of the city. Ministry of Brewing feels the same way.
