I really enjoyed this video. I'm a Californian who is very Vermont-curious & I'm thinking about moving to Vermont in the not-too-distant future. Thanks for this nice glimpse of Burlington.
Artesian Tea and Coffee Company in Waterbury is a small but wonderful place to visit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. I visit at least once a year when I travel up from Florida.
Hey, Gordon. Great walkabout. My favorite spots to stop are Nectar's, Leunig's, Revolution Kitchen (I'm a vegetarian and it has delicious offerings so give it a try if you've not gone there) and Pingala Café up in Winooski. I'm from Grand Isle. Best wishes. 👍
I’ve been using stats to create an algorithm for the state that would most suit me to live in. I’m from California. Vermont was the winner according to my loose and lazy numbers. I’ve been watching and reading everything I can about Vermont. It’s a lot like Nor Cal and So Oregon culturally. We are proud of our IPA’s, pretty liberal, Bernie wins all of our primary presidential races. Skiing/Snowboarding, agriculture, old hippies. I’m sold!
Going to be in Burlington with kids for about a week in March. Any recommendations for places to ice skate or go sledding in the city? I know there's full on ski resorts outside the city, but that is a bit much for our native Floridian group.
Sorry for the delayed response! If you have the time and a car, I highly recommend making the drive to Stowe. They have an ice skating rink at the mountain and it's a very cute and quintessential Vermont ski town! You don't have to ski, but just walking around the resort and town feels magical. In Burlington, itself, I'm not super sure of places to ice skate, but there's always fun things going on around the town and you should definitely check with your hotel or host to see what's going on when you get there.
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing it. I’m going to Burlington in 3 weeks. I’ll check it out your recommendations!!!. Can you make a video on Derby Line? It looks a nice town to visit too
Unfortunately I’m not in Vermont anymore, but I hope you have an awesome time in Burlington! Derby Line is really cool, especially when the library is open because you can stand in both the US and Canada. I highly recommend it!
Thanks for sharing, I am planning to head that way in Feb 2023. You started your video without a mask and at 1:05 min you have a mask outdoors with virtually no one around you. Were you asked to put it on? Could you share what the restrictions are now as of 7/17/22, if you know? Do you know if there are Uber & Lyft services? Again, thank you for sharing your trip.
Thanks for watching! I'm no longer in Vermont, but as of now I don't believe there are very strict mask restrictions. That being said, winter in Vermont tends to be cold. Even before covid I would wear a mask or scarf over my face to combat the windchill (which can sometimes be as low as -40F) so just be prepared for the cold weather when you visit. In terms of Uber and Lyft, you can find some ride share services in Burlington, but outside of Burlington Uber and Lyft haven't really expanded that far. If staying at a hotel, check with the front desk staff and see if they have any recommendations for reputable taxi services in the area (if you're not near Burlington).
Thank you for watching and I'm sorry it's taken me this long to reply! I hope your trip went well! Vermont is a wonderful place for family vacations, and skiing is always at the top of my list for winter activity ideas!
Thanks for watching! It can get very cold, but if you prepare well by dressing warm and having a well insulated house or apartment, it's very livable! My tip is to embrace the winter if you move to Vermont, you'll be glad you did and find new things you can enjoy!
Why are you wearing a face mask outside in the fresh with no one in sight near you? I would like to know before visiting, is everyone is as extreme like that in Burlington? Do viruses not spread while you are eating?
Your forget about mayor Bernie went to Russia and brought lawyers library people and Republican people and mayor Bernie brought alot of Russia arts and culture and a hockey team and had a sister city with Russia and Nicaragua and traded with Russia not with money because that was illegal so they traded with products made in Vermont that's when Reagan went to Russia
From someone living in hell (AKA: Arizona) - seven months of temps at 90 or much higher, take it from me, sun and heat and NO RAIN is highly overrated. You can always dress for the cold, you can't undress enough for constant heat.
Was that supposed to be a burn? Florida sucks. It's like groundhogs day. Weather never changes until you get a hurricane. Ranges from hot and humid to really hot and really humid. Summer heat and humidity in Florida is absolutely miserable.
@@josephschaffer2716 Nah, South Florida is a Tropical-Savanna climate. Super dry for six months and then hot (never over 93) and humid in the summer. No big deal. I know Vermont well after having lived there for 13 years and another 18 in Massachusetts. That weather sucks the big one. Enjoy the cold and snow and grey skies I am on my paddle board in a bikini in January
@@landrover4444 Again, you seem to thing you are getting in a dig. What you describe sounds like hell via monotony. I love 4 seasons and winter sports. Also, temps over 80F are miserable IMO.
Bro, you really don't need a facemask for walking outside by yourself lol. The virus dissipates very quickly outside. If there is nobody close to you, the chances of getting sick are zero. Just save the mask for indoor areas near strangers. I'm not an "anti-masker" either. It's just common sense.

So nice to see a nice young man who is articulate and polite and doesn’t feel the need to curse to make a video. Very nice
Thank you for watching and the kind words :)

Curious if you decided to move to Vermont. I’m also a Californian considering a Vermont relocation.
I grew up in Vermont (live in Florida now) and I have been to Burlington many times. It makes me miss Vermont a lot.
Loved this film style!! Would definitely love to see more places in Vermont!! Loved to see Burlington! ❤️❤️
Thank you!!
I graduated from St. Mike's in 1981. Burlington is so different now! Looks really great.
Artesian Tea and Coffee Company in Waterbury is a small but wonderful place to visit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. I visit at least once a year when I travel up from Florida.

@@lifewithgordon2024 thank you so much for your time
I asked myself if they got a ramen/sushi spot that might solidify to live there then boom you showed the ramen spot. Can't wait
Thanks for watching and hope you had a great time!
We're planning a family vacation to Vermont during New Years eve. Do you have any recommendations for family activities and restaurants?
Thank you for watching and I'm sorry it's taken me this long to reply! I hope your trip went well! Vermont is a wonderful place for family vacations, and skiing is always at the top of my list for winter activity ideas!
I Love Vermont.. Burlington, Vermont Is My Favourite City Of All. I Love Veromters.. Vermont Is Like A Play Ground. Vermont Is Number One ( 1 )
Vermont is amazing! Thanks for watching!
Well winter ❄️ it’s coming soon 🔜 I hope you could upload more videos
Thanks for watching, planning on uploading more videos soon and sorry about the massive delay in uploads. I'm back!
I'm looking to move to Vermont and one of the things that my wife is concerned about is how cold it gets
Thanks for watching! It can get very cold, but if you prepare well by dressing warm and having a well insulated house or apartment, it's very livable! My tip is to embrace the winter if you move to Vermont, you'll be glad you did and find new things you can enjoy!
How cold was it at that time that you were there
When I was there it was around -10°F. Windchill plays a huge role in how cold it feels in Vermont! If you’re going in winter, pack a lot of layers!
Thanks
Brrr mont
It can get a little chilly in the winter, for sure!!
Burlington is in VT, but it is not real VT.
Sounds like flatlanders moved there.
Why are you wearing a face mask outside in the fresh with no one in sight near you? I would like to know before visiting, is everyone is as extreme like that in Burlington? Do viruses not spread while you are eating?
or maybe he just wants to wear one so he did? you probably don’t have to. idgi… like just mind ur damn business

It started snowing in October 2020 and stopped in April 2021. SEVEN months with snow. Vermont sucks. Have a nice day and greetings from Florida.

I can settle this:
Different strokes for different folks.
Bro why u got a mask on outside? The fresh air is gonna get ya😂😂
Why do you feel the need to tell other people what to do?
@@laurie9557 exactly! mandates.....

mind your business. he can do what he wants to do. other countries wore masks daily outside and inside even before covid
Interesting. You didn't show the high crime neighborhoods and the Defund the Police areas.
Burlington is a septic tank.
