  • I recently visited Belfast, Maine, which is full of history, local culture, and coastal views.
  • Belfast offers a stark contrast to busy urban life and is perfect for city escapes.
  • I think it's an underrated travel destination.

When I went to Belfast, Maine, for the Fourth of July, I expected nothing more than a wholesome, long weekend with my friends to take a break from the hustle and bustle of my life in NYC.
