Has anyone been to Monarch and the Milkweed in Burlington yet - specifically for dinner?

Haven't been in for dinner yet but breakfast/lunch and pastries are insane.. Best new addition to the food scene up here in a long time.

Random question here, but how late does the foliage season last in Vermont? Will early late October/early November be too late to see the colored leaves?

Hard to say definitively, but the trees will probably will be pretty bare by that time.

Welp, that post just crushed my soul.

Don't give up hope, this week is peak in about 50% of the state, next week should have pockets of great color, check some of the Vermont tourista sites

Keep up the illusion, there is always something colorful to look at here.

I used Uber in Burlington last weekend. Got towed which was awesome and took a $10 Uber ride within Burlington to pickup my car.

Sometimes you can snipe an Uber from Waterbury if someone is getting dropped off in Stowe or something. When I was there this summer we were able to get an Uber from our airBnB in Waterbury to Doc Ponds, and then the app mostly showed no car available while we ate dinner, only for one to pop up again when we were ready to go. From what our drivers were saying you shouldn't have a problem getting one from Burlington to Waterbury, but going the other way could be tough.

It looks like Miso Hungry found a semi-permanent home at the base of Jay Tramside. Unfortunately they were closed so I couldn't ask if they would still park their truck at Hill Farmstead on occasion...

If anyone is planning on going up to VT for the weekend and is looking for a place to stay: The girlfriend and I had made reservations for the Old Stagecoach Friday & Saturday, we broke up, and now trip is canceled. Would be happy to transfer the reservation to someone else rather than take a hit for the full amount (canceling within 14 days). Thank you box for helping out would be involved as well. Cheers!

Personally, I feel like you should go up either by yourself or with a friend, and drown your post-breakup sorrows in Stagecoach huevos and Focal Banger.

Ask them if you can change the trip to a different weekend that your can go. Lots of places will do that. I have had some places give me a voucher for the amount. This way they have your money for another trip and can book for the current weekend

ShawDeuce22 and I stopped at river roost yesterday in white river junction.. tiny operation, very friendly brewer/owner and really solid beer. Also an awesome BBQ joint next door with 3 HF taps. Highly recommend as it's not too far off of 89/91.

That is perfect for when I leave Waterbury and head to Deciduous in NH...

Yeah it broke up the ride back to Boston nicely. Eating a pound of brisket/burnt ends didn't make for a great feeling ride for the first hour though lol

Love worthy burger. I'm headed back to VT in a couple weeks and I can't wait to stop by for a bite to eat.... Though this mention of BBQ has my attention now. Don do you happen to remember a name?

So my gf and I will be up for the TB Anniversary Party in April. She loves beer, and is looking forward to all of the beer-related festivities, but she also needs to engage in some non-beer activities to give her liver a break (absurd, I know). Specifically, she likes looking at/for vintage furniture.

The last time we were up, she visited a furniture consignment place in Burlington called Anjou & The Little Pear, and she really had a nice time combing through their stuff. I assume she'll want to head back there when we inevitably roll through Burlington, but I wanted to try and find maybe 2 or 3 other places to take her to. So any suggestions are welcomed.

We're spending 2 nights in Waterbury, and 1 night up in West Glover, but if there's any particular place that is highly recommended, I don't mind going out of the way.

Iliketurtles mentioned a place in Stowe when I was up there with him. He may know the name.

It is Stowe Craft Furniture Design, but it's not consignment. Everything there is new, well made, and looks awesome but is pricey.

My wife loves scavenging through that type of stuff and has a list of places she visits when we're there. I'll shoot over a few more places tonight.

We restored a couple wicked near-antique light fixtures from VT Salvage in WRJ. There's a place in Barre that does something similar. Barre has a pretty decent Antique furniture place about 10 mins out from Montpelier

Does Lawson's still do weekly releases of beers other than sip of sunshine and super session? I checked their site and couldn't find anything.

Looks like they're releasing Coffee Fayston Maple Imperial Stout and Equinox IPA this month.
