Yankee Magazine's video: Weekends With Yankee

Weekends with Yankee will premiere on public television stations nationwide starting in April 2017 (check local listings). Named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years, the series is a joint effort of Yankee Magazine and public media powerhouse WGBH. With New England among the nation’s top tourist destinations, the documentary series will take viewers on an insider’s exploration from city to countryside and far-flung places in New England. Over the course of 13 half-hour episodes, viewers will be guided through New England by Emmy Award-winning TV travel host, explorer and author Richard Wiese. The series will tap into Yankee’s insider secrets and behind-the-scenes access to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know. Wiese will be joined in his travels by Yankee’s Senior Food Editor, Amy Traverso, who will share the recipes, local flavors and sense of community that make up the fabric of the region’s food and dining scene.
