There is a particular stretch of the Northeast that rewards attention.
Running along the 42nd parallel, it passes through Massachusetts, southern Vermont, northern Connecticut (and, of course, the eastern edge of New York)—a region defined less by borders than by mood. The light changes a little differently here. The seasons linger. Towns feel settled rather than staged.
L’Attitude 42º exists to explore this zone with intention.
We focus on arts, food, nature, recreation, and leisure across a landscape that has learned how to age well. This is where cultural institutions coexist with back roads, where serious dining doesn’t require spectacle, and where a day trip can feel restorative rather than extractive.
For visitors arriving from Boston, New York City, or farther afield, this region offers something increasingly rare: space, texture, and time. For locals, it offers the pleasure of rediscovery—the reminder that what’s familiar can still surprise when approached without hurry.
We’re interested in places that endure:
- museums and galleries that reward repeat visits
- restaurants built on confidence rather than trend cycles
- small towns with walkable centers and real daily life
- landscapes that invite movement without demanding performance
L’Attitude 42º is not about chasing novelty. It’s about noticing what’s timelessly enchanting.
Our coverage favors experiences that feel considered rather than commodified. We write for readers who value quality, atmosphere, and proportion—people who understand that the best moments often arrive quietly, and that a well-spent afternoon can be as memorable as a long weekend away.
Whether you’re planning a visit or simply looking for new ways to experience the place you already live, Latitude 42 offers a remarkable amount to explore.
We’re here to help you see it clearly.
