Pretty much all of them, including the nitty and the gritty! The Burlington, Vermont area is probably the most beautiful. You also missed New London, Connecticut which has wonderful ferry connections to great places!
I appologize for not naming new london/groton. Nice old New England city with its ferries, river, sailfest, submarines ect. I grew up 15 minutes away in Westerly.
Not including Boston.....for me it's a tie between Burlington and Portland.
I live near Burlington and it's just gorgeous. The lake, the downtown, restaurants, shops, scenery etc. It is definately a unique New England city.
Portland is great too. The smell of the ocean air, the islands, ferry rides, lobster, the Old Port, the Prom, etc.
Boston consistantly gets all the love on these threads, but there are plenty of other great cities in New England that should be recognized. What are some of yours and why? I'd like to hear from people outside of New England.
I'll suggest some to start.....
- Burlington
- Portland
- Bangor
- Nashua
- Manchester
- Cambridge
- Quincy
- Lowell
- Taunton
- Fall River
- New Bedford
- Worcester
- Springfield
- Providence
- Pawtucket
- Newport
- Warwick
- Hartford
- Bridgeport
- Stamford
- New Haven
you get the picture...and share some of yours!
Great list (except for Bridgeport...how did it get on there?); I would have to add Northampton, MA.

..but then again, I'm biased, too, because I grew up there. Portland has some great things about, as you mentioned, (Old Port, the Promenade, etc), but Burlington's neighborhoods are more attractive for family living.
I like Pittsfield and East Longmeadow, MA. Manchester VT. Keene NH. Guilford and Clinton CT. Orange and Milford CT. Pretty much any area along Cape Cod and up into Plymouth, MA.
Apparently I'm not big on any areas of ME or RI.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what area(s) of MA were used in the movie "The Proposal". Nice scenery.

A decent list, but..
