During a challenging time when most people are limiting their travel,
this talk takes folks along on a rollicking ride around New England—
all in just one hour, and all from the comfort of their own home.
Author of three books about New England and longtime “Chronicle”
reporter Ted Reinstein is your tour guide as you go from Maine to Rhode
Island, Mt. Washington to Mt. Mansfield, and Berkshire foliage to Fenway
Park.

But Ted’s 20-plus years of reporting and telling stories from all over New
England means this is not your average bus tour. Prepare to meet colorful
characters who’ve done the darndest things, learn odd facts about familiar
places, and of course—this being a Ted talk—expect to visit at least a few
fabulous classic diners. (Spoiler alert: Ted reveals where to find THE best
clam chowdah in America—and it’s right here in New England!)
Ted will take Questions following the talk.
