🇺🇸 Where to Go for a Long Weekend? Acadia National Park! ⛰️
Perfect for students and working folks in the US—here’s a gem for your next getaway! 🎒✨ Acadia National Park in Maine is just a ~9-hour drive from NYC. 2-3 days is ideal—Labour Day ready! 🚗💨 🌟 Must-Do Activities: 1️⃣ Beehive Trail – A hands-and-feet climb! 🧗♂️ Loop trail with narrow paths (2 hours round trip).

Panoramic views of Acadia—everyone sits silently for 30 mins watching the sun dip. Healing vibes! 🌄 3️⃣ Jordan Pond – Flat, easy walk around a pristine water reserve 💧. Perfect post-Beehive relaxation. 4️⃣ Japanese Garden – Petite and pretty 🌸 (free entry, 30-min stroll). 5️⃣ Bar Harbor Town – Quaint shops + souvenir hunting! 🛍️ 🍽️ Food Recs: 1️⃣ Lobster Roll – Frenchman (a hidden gem with 5.0 Google ratings! 🦞). 2️⃣ Bar Harbour Lobster Pound – Steamed lobster ($30!) + Lobster Nachos (devoured a whole plate 😋). 3️⃣ Ice Cream – Jordan Pond’s Ice Cream (blueberry/mango/peach/strawberry 🍦). 4️⃣ Brunch Cafes – Acadia Perk (blueberry latte) + Choco-Latte (chocolate latte ☕). 5️⃣ Easter Egg! Momo’s Cheesecake – 24/7 unmanned shop! Dozens of flavors 🍰—pay on honesty system. So cool! (20 mins from park). 🏨 Accommodation: Book early!
