McLoons Lobster

"WHAT: The quintessential Maine lobster shack with a postcard setting and a roll to beat all. 

WHY: Lobster rolls are the gravitational center of Maine dining, usually priced in the teens and produced at high volume, which is why so many shacks pre-mix large batches of meat with enough mayo to lube a pot puller. The result: spongy, indistinct meat. But not at McLoons, where mayo is slathered on the bun, not the meat, and hot butter is an at-the-ready alternative. Better yet, order a half-and-half roll and decide which one you like best." [Eater]

Banana Shout Resort

"Those who enjoy whimsical decor and a bohemian vibe will most appreciate this budget-friendly cliff-side sanctuary in the western coastal area of Jamaica. Consisting of four non-air-conditioned cottages with small kitchens, Banana Shout is casual and communal, and although the hot water and free Wi-Fi don't always work, it's a place where guests can nap in hammocks on their porches or climb down a cliff-side ladder to take a swim in the Caribbean. Set atop pillars, the Tree House Cottage (pictured) has a massive balcony with hammocks and ocean views. Potential guests should note, however, that this cottage's private bathroom is separate from the standalone cottage." [Oyster]
