Bath, Maine as seen in Down East Magazine
The May 2026 issue of Down East Magazine features the charming city of Bath, Maine!
Bath is featured in the May 2026 Issue of Down East Magazine! I have loved Downeast since I was a kid growing up in Los Angeles. My family subscribed to Vermont Life (my father went to school in the Green Mountain State) and I sought out other New England magazines to fuel my research and hope of one day moving “back east” for college. So fun to see my adopted hometown featured! I always say if I was visiting Maine and I didn’t know about Bath I would be MAD! Now more people will know!
Below are just some of the local businesses featured.
Solo Pane Pasticerria—a great place for a latte, baked good, pizza, gelato, sandwich…you get it!
Green Arrow Yarn is a new store that sells socks for us non-knitters.
Open Door Books, one of four independent book stores featured. My strategy here is to find a spot with books you like and stay there and browse your heart out.
I had the opportunity to submit an advertisement for Embark and am honored to be opposite a feature about Sunshine Larry. Our local orange cat (IYKYK) has been experiencing a well-earned PR boost recently. This feature is just the icing on the cake!

Designing an ad can be fun and frustrating! Little changes can make or break. In addition to Lauren’s help, I sought a little feedback from my Instagram followers and am happy with how it turned out! The inset photo covered the stop sign neatly. And though showing people’s backs is generally a “no-no” I think it gives off a sort of “Come follow along!” energy.
Pick up a copy of the Down East May issue to read more about our hidden gem of a city. Better yet, book a tour to experience firsthand all the charms of the City of Ships!
