Nice anonymous board. It's none of my business what you think, OT as it may be.

It's up on a hill (google diners in Burlington). It was quite good, full of local color, good food...

Maybe Pennycluse? Henry's? If you're talking about Libby's (its on a hill), it's not in Burlington.

I'm from LI, too, so don't expect a Long Island diner...diners in New England tend to be holes in the wall, have mismatched decor, but full of charm and decent food.

We also went to the Science Museum (again may not be the name) in Burlington. It's near Lake Champlain, you can take a boat to Plattsburgh.

The museum is the Echo Center. You cannot take a boat to Plattsburgh from there. The Burlington ferry goes to Port Kent, NY. To get to Plattsburgh, you have to take the Grand Isle ferry.

It's a nice little area, maybe a bit like Port Jeff...

As far as being vegetarians, my husband is one and you can always find something in Vermont (diners offer omelets).

If you see any signs for CO-OP, these are often natural food stores where you can pick up food you will be happy with (our local one sells cooked soups and so on) as well as packaged goods.

Having been in this state 2 years, I have to say there is good and bad.

Is it better than Long Island?? Well, yes, I think so. Even if we leave this state in 6 months, going back to that 'dirty and crowded' place is not an option.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

I don't think there is any "must see" in Burlington. Vermont is ok, it has some nice spots. Burlington is not so nice. Nothing to see here.
