SUNDAY MORNING : I cap off my Cape visit with another early morning run on the beach . Then we pack up and head to breakfast at the Kitchen Cafe ( thekitchencafe brewster . com ) in Brewster where we sip mocha and cardamom-spiced lattes with a fruit-topped Belgian waffle and breakfast burrito . It ’ s tough to leave such a peaceful place , but we ’ re glad we squeezed a couplesonly getaway into our busy lives . And , I was right , we didn ’ t see a soul we knew from the Ocean State ( well , the manager at Linx Tavern was from Warwick , so I lied ).

place for a future lunch following a hike .
Littleton is tranquil and charming . We walk down Main Street and up and down the Riverwalk Covered Bridge to admire the Ammonoosuc River . Near the bridge is Schilling Beer Co . ( schillingbeer . com ), where we dig into the pastoral wood-fired pizza with house spinach pesto , goat cheese , Roma tomatoes and arugula . After splitting a sweet creme brulee , it ’ s time to return home .

pick-me-up ( you can ’ t go wrong with the hibiscus green tea ).
Adventurous eaters will feel right at home at Er Hotpot , where you can cook your own dinner in soup bases like beef tallow , duck and tomato . Choose from proteins like fresh oysters , beef , Chinese sausage , tofu and octopus and veggies like lotus root , potatoes , mushrooms and corn . If you ’ re feeling more ramen , visit Zen Sushi and Ramen ( zenramensushi . com ), a buzzy space where you can choose from fifteen broths , four types of noodles and toppings like asparagus , nori , extra noodles and softboiled eggs .
If you ’ re craving authentic New Yorkstyle pizza , do yourself a favor and visit NY Pizza Suprema ( nypizzasuprema . com ). Get in line — don ’ t be dissuaded , it moves quickly — and choose a slice of hot honey , creamy potato , burrata , veggie lover ’ s or classic cheese . Take your prize and sit under the picture of Anthony Bourdain standing in line , secure in the knowledge that you made the right decision .
Settle in for a nightcap at Oscar Wilde ( oscarwildenyc . com ), an extravagant space devoted to the Irish playwright . Pull up to the city ’ s longest bar and order a mocktail like the Florence Welch ( pineapple , tangerine and orange juice with agave and grapefruit soda ) or indulge in one of seven gin and tonics named after musicians of Irish descent , like the How Soon Is Now , a nod to the Smiths crafted with Botanist gin , citrus bitters and elderflower tonic garnished with rose petals , limes and a spritz of rose essence . Even Morrissey himself couldn ’ t help but smile nursing such a drink .

antiques fair outside the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts ( adirondackarts . org ) and stock up on maple syrup from local vendors . Feeling the effects of the early morning start , I grab coffee from the Corner Store at Blue Mountain Lake , where an “ Adirondack Coffee ” — two pumps each of maple and vanilla syrups — perks me right up .
SATURDAY EVENING : Intrigued by the nondescript sign , we backtrack to the town of Indian Lake to check out Willie ’ s BBQ . It ’ s everything we ’ d hoped a backcountry barbecue joint would be — heaping portions of sweet , succulent pulled pork and falloff-the-bone chicken served Carolina-style with vinegar sauce — and we take our haul back to the lake and dig in by the shining blue
