Under $100 / North America

Plymouth, Massachusetts, is the oldest town in New England and one of the oldest in the United States. The tiny seaside hamlet is full of historical significance and offers tons of things to see and do.

Start off with a hearty breakfast at The Local Yolk Company, where you can find all things eggs for less than $15. Then, move on to Burial Hill Cemetery as your starting point for a historical site walk. Nearby you’ll find all of the top attractions, including Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower replica, Leyden Street and the National Monument to the Forefathers.

 

Once you’re done with that, grab a bite at KKatie’s Burger Bar for some of the best beef in New England. A meal here will run you less than $20. Next, stop in at the Jenney Museum for a look at Pilgrim life during America’s settlement with unique artifacts and records. Admission is only $7. You can also swing by Pilgrim Hall Museum to see the oldest collection of Pilgrim artifacts in the United States. Admission is $10.

 

Finish off the afternoon with a nice stroll along Plymouth Harbor before grabbing a meal at 42 Degrees North. The lobster rolls are the stuff of legend and will only run you about $30.

 

Finally, end the day with a Plymouth Night Tour to explore the haunted spots all around town. A walking trip costs only $12.
