16 Best New England vacation spots, according to Felger

On Friday’s Felger & Mazz program, Mike Felger gives his list of best summer vacation spots in New England.

Felger Vacation Tiers

Mike Felger is well-traveled over the New England area. Many know of his love for the Island of Nantucket, but as it turns out, he’s been to more vacation spots in New England than you’d think. 

On Thursday’s show, the first of August, Felger and “Big Jim” Murray did a remote broadcast from The Faregrounds Restaurant on Nantucket. And it only seemed right for the guys to rank their best summer vacation spots. And while Murray and Matt McCarthy—stuck back at the Town Fair Tire Studios in Waltham—chimed in, Felger wanted everyone to know that these are his Tiers. Nobody else’s. 

From time to time, Felger can be seen doing remote broadcasts from his backyard in Nantucket. Thursday’s event, however, was a little more dressed up as Heineken Silver sponsored the broadcast. And the Faregrounds are known to be a regularly frequented spot by Felger.  

Jim Murray, on the other hand, is less privy to the secrets of Nantucket. He did take the pro move by taking a flight to the island, though. Typically, many passengers will take a one- to two-hour ferry to Nantucket. 

But flying regionally out of a local New England airport will get you to the Island in a mere 20-30 minutes. Felger was almost too scared to share this secret on the air, as he was afraid too many people would find out about this ultimate life hack.

And now… Mike Felger’s ultimate list of best New England Vacation spots, going from worst to best…
