This week on Weekends with Yankee, cohosts Amy Traverso and Richard Wiese travel to Nantucket with Lisa Birnbach, author of The Official Preppy Handbook. Lisa tells all about this iconic New England style while shopping at Murray's Toggery Shop, where you'll find the ultimate in preppie togs. Then it's onto Tamworth Distilling in New Hampshire's pristine White Mountains, where they've perfected the craft of turning local ingredients into delicious spirits. We then move onto one of Vermont's little known secrets, Little Fenway, a scaled down version of Boston's iconic park-and where families can take a Whiffle ball swing at the big Green Monster. And finally we travel south to Connecticut to visit the first and only Whiffle Ball factory, and see how those magical little spheres are made.

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE is a 13-part travel and lifestyle series named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years.
With New England among the nation's top tourist destinations, the magazine-style program takes viewers on an insider's exploration of the cities, countryside locales and far-flung places in the quaint and scenic region.
The series is hosted by Richard Wiese, (Born to Explore) , an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, author and explorer who has traveled to all seven continents, participated in two expeditions to Antarctica, and cross-country skied to the North Pole.
Amy Traverso, a senior food editor at Yankee magazine who has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, joins Richard as co-host.
She highlights recipes, local flavors and the sense of community that make up the regions' food and dining scene.
WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE offers an "all-access" behind-the-scenes pass to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know.
