The temps are dropping in New England and the crisp fall air means one thing: sauna season. In this episode, my friend Jordan and I travel nearly 1,000 miles, exploring some of the best spas, saunas, and bathhouses across the Northeast. Along the way, we share where to soak, where to sweat, and of course, what to eat (including a lobster roll you don’t want to miss).
What you’ll hear in Part 1 of our New England Spa & Sauna Road Trip:
Spas & Saunas in New England: Highlights from Rhode Island and Maine, including our honest reviews.
Where to Eat & Stay: Our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and special extras you won’t find in a guidebook.
