This is our favorite spot for breakfast—Persephone's splendid egg sandwich is what keeps us running all summer. Get there early and be prepared to make friends in the line!

We love New Harbor! So much to do—Grab a mudslide and sushi from The Oar, donuts from Payne's Killer Donuts, and rent a kayak for a few hours to work off the endless meal opportunities.
