US 1: New England (minus Maine)
US 1 is a long road, and this week we're focusing on the 300-ish mile stretch between New York City and Kittery, Maine.
Even though this is a pretty congested stretch of US 1, there is a lot to see along the way: quaint New England towns, large metropolises (or is it metropoli? and is it redundant to call a metropolis large?), and miles of coastline after the road curves back toward the coast for the first time since Florida.

But there is a lot to see along the way: quaint little towns, large metropolises (or is it metropoli? and is it redundant to call a metropolis large?), historic buildings, and national parks .
