What to Do in Burlington, Vermont | 36 Hours Travel Videos | The New York Times 

For everyone who keeps saying, "there aren't any black people" please think about why that could be before claiming people in Vermont are racists. Not a lot of black people in an area does not equal all the white people in that area are racist every time this happens. Vermont was one of the first states that was founded in the US. There were not black people there when it was founded (I am not speaking about Native Americans in this, that is a WHOLE other conversation, I'm just speaking on the black population of Vermont). As we all know, black people were brought to the US as slaves. Vermont was the first states to ban slavery, well before any other state. Which meant many of the black people living in Vermont; left. Vermont did not have the large plantations or large cities that other states had which meant even after they were no longer slaves, there was little work for black people at that time in Vermont. Vermont is cold a majority of the year so they don't have the agricultural work that other states have and this was most of the work that black people at this time could get a job doing. Not to mention, the population of Vermont is one of the smallest in the country to begin with. Because of these reasons, there was no "pull" for black people to stay in Vermont or come back to to this state. So, could there be racist people living in Vermont? Absolutely! There was racist people everywhere! Even in the most liberal of towns and cities. There are examples of racist and hate crimes everywhere in this country - it was built on racist ideals (that's a whole other conversation as well!). However, to call an entire state racist, simply because there aren't a lot of black people living there is unfair. We have to look at the history and analyze that as well.

This reminds me so much of Bellingham, WA with the incredible scenery and bar scene. I must say, however, that the beauty of the fall foilage in Vermont surpasses that of Bellingham by miles.

Bernie Sanders brought me here

As inclusive as this video is, the obviously neglect of Ben and Jerry’s, as well as church street as a whole is definitely suspicious to say the least.

Visited there last week. Beautiful scenery and felt good to get out of nyc. Did the beer tour and Matt (he’s in the video) is a really cool guy and very informative about not just beer but about Vermont’s history and what’s going on today.

I lived in Burlington Vermont omg it was a privilege to live there lifetime opportunity!!! I miss it till this day I’d go back if I could !!! ❤️ Bernie all the way !!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Guys I live here. To answer your question, yes it is a very diverse place. Literally half my friends are part of the LGBT community and we're all fine with that. Yes there is larger ratio of white people than any other race, but that doesn't mean it's a racist state. Anyone is welcome. Not to mention it's a beautiful place as well. Also it's one of the safest towns to raise children in the world.

Feels like a place u can write a book.

Looks very different from the 'murica you see on the news

I love Echo. The fish are so cool.

I went to farmhouse last summer and absolutely loved it! Would recommend to anyone.

Vermont is awesome!

Loved Burlington! So many fun things to do!! Especially hanging out with the junkies in the park!! Great group of people

Very good vid

Please do Liverpool!

I lived in (South) Burlington for a year as a preteen in 1970 and loved it. It is truly a special place. I've been back about 5 times since then -- not nearly enough -- and still find it very charming, especially since the city center has changed so little since I lived there, and most changes have been for the better (like making Church St. pedestrian-only). Make sure to visit if you can!

Going there for the first time tomorrow! My goal is to hopefully at least see the 48 states before I die. Im about half way there.

Reminds me of a city called Bellingham I spent five years in back in Washington. The lakeside location kind of reminds me of the Puget sound.

Love this place and also want to live there!!!!🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇

I love Burlington. I've been there 3 years ago. I wish I could go again

what to do in Burlington....RAILFAN VERMONT RAILWAY TRAINS!!!!!!!!!! and bike, sail, have a boat flotilla at North Beach..explore Vermont..yup...proud to be a Vermonter

Best part of the video 2:03...love ice cream

This city popped up in my Spotify wrapped. Apparently people’s music taste here is most similar to mine and are far more likely to be fans of Ween, Beach House and Aphex Twin.

Bernie!

What no mention of Al's french fries or Nector's fries and gravy!!?

There’s so much more now it’s crazy

Nice show me more, we are going this Dec. 3-13 to so. Burlington.,

I want that fish sandwich.

whats up w mate's glasses @0:12

Is Burlington,Vermont dog friendly? Like dog parks and things to do with them?

I go to college in Burlington and I miss it so, *so* much! I really hope things will be better soon so I can go back in August.

“It’s a vast swirling wonderland of sparkly white pleasure.” My Vermont portrayal in my United States Portrayed by SpongeBob video.

what about the Burton snowboard headquarters?

sgithseeing perfect resort for tarveling

I'm binging videos about Vermont cause I'm obsessed with my homeland

I came here to see nature not a beer brewery 😛

I'd have to call it soft-serve ice cream for the same reason I'd ask for a large coffee if I went to Starbucks.

What's the name of your Lake Monster..?

I've lived in VT near Burlington for 17 years. I've had enough. Leaving in three days. Too expensive.

We call soft serve " Soft CREAM" in Japan ! Lol. I live in L.A.,but I am Japanese. 👍😃💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

@ 0:58 Adam Shifts double. 😅

I would never eat fish caught in Lake Champlain. All of Burlington's and St. Albans' residents' poop goes right into the lake, plus all the fertilizer runoff from farms.

Looks fab, would really consider this for retirement upon leaving africa in a few years

Anyone else live in Burlington?

Flash drive lake shore^

Wow, I don' think that 36 hours would be enough to visit Burlington #SarcasmModeOn

That's home to me.

I want to move there but are there any Latinos/Dominicans?

Heady out of the can, how renegade of her.

So this is basically a 6 minute commercial :-)

UVM medicine residents represent!

My friends dad is the co owner of citizen cider and he’s so cool

One is nit far from canada

Feel the Bern!

It All Looks Good But Must Be Expensive Not Everyone Has Money Like That to Spend I Hear in New York People Cant Afford $2.75 Train and Bus Fares

So basically eat and get drunk. You can do that anywhere.

Looks like quebec

Im from the philippines... but I wan't to go there!!!

I would have thought it would be more “diverse” considering their political views...

C

No thanks I think I'll call it soft serve

Bro I miss when it looked like this naw it’s just crack heds everywhere

Bernie!!!

As someone from rural Vermont, my favorite thing do do is leave Burlington and do something other than stuff I could go to Yorky to enjoy. Like hiking. Or sugaring. Or something on a farm. Or anything not in Burlington. If you are from rural Vermont I'm sure you'll agree that Burlington and Vermont are basically separate places. Burlington is the Cali of Vermont. Its a annoying loud city, the people from the rest of the state/country hate the people from there, and you could go literally anywhere else to enjoy better stuff.

Looks like a lot of cool things to see! Keep Vermont unique! Don't import a bunch of idiots and mess it up.

Don’t forgot the abundance of homeless people and Heroine gangs lurking about. Oh and can’t forget the weed! Literally you can smell it on every street corner.

I’ve seen more cows than black people in this video

I lived there for 2 years. No infrastructure, taxes are sky high, cost of living sky high, nothing to do and the weather is awful. It has more cloudy days than the Pacific North West

Are there a lot of Asians in Burlington?

It used to be a nice place. It's now a s-hole.

Portland Maine is similar and cleaner and so much more updated....visit the Ocean instead of a city with no fire friendly egresses and numerous potholes .....you ll enjoy lobster and a friendly environment and you won't have the sewer smell just the ocean and your visit will be much more enjoyable!

WHY DO YOU SHOW AQUARIUMS? WHERE ANIMALS ARE CAGED IN! THAT IS ANIMAL CRUELTY! WHY DO YOU PROMOTE ANIMAL CRUELTY??????

The only thing idk about vermont is I LOVE diversity and multiculturalism and i only see white people.. That makes me nervous.

I'm moving to Burlington Vermont for a job and I'm African-American. I was wondering if Burlington is a racist place to live in?

who is here cause of mr. hackl?

Well, I've been in Burlington all of my life, the products are real,but people are fake af here, you make it sound nice,wish it was, hippies and granolas get along good here other than that if you're not a hippie or a granola or a billionaire then don't come to Burlington

are people there nice with different people like transgender

Mike P rode in the back of a pickup. Rich. Did he sexually assault his daughter?

Am black but I like my city life and not see black ppl around me seems Strange

not one black guy

I live in burlington... its not that good and authentic honestly.

The F-35 has destroyed quality of life in Chittenden County, Vermont.

Yikes....Bernie brought you here....don't forget to stop by his favorite dubie smoking bar okay...its a hole in the wall called the Other Place in Burlington VT.....and if you look around Bernie fans you ll see just how much Bernie did not do for the City of Burlington with triple taxes just like Weinberger hasn't done...infrastructure which is 100 year old sewer system, paving of main roads to UVM and UVM Medical Center ladden with potholes...hope you don't have an allergic reaction to Bernies favorite "pot" hole at the Other Place and have to endure the multiple real potholes in all of Burlington VT s streets in an ambulance with a back injury or CPR eeeee ghads.....if you have a broken leg and need a wheelchair you won't find much ADA access either nor fire suppression systems in the numerous bars if someone drops a cigarette drunk carelessly drunk in one of those bars cause there is NONE! Burlington Fire DEpartment s favorite bar called ESOX doesn't have a metal door but a varnished wooden door much like Nectar s and some of the more famous bars...nectars has spray painted tables and egress well in a panic would be tragic....with the amount of alcohol stored and consummed you would think metal doors on all bars would be a LAW.....then if you visit the waterfront....Burlington Sewer just had an employee let loose I think 10,000 gallons fo raw sewage into the Lake surrounding the waterfront so it may stink alot which is frequent on rainy days when the sewer tank overflows into the Lake because it hasn't been upgraded to handle the numerous developments Burlington is adding along the Lakefront from New York City Chinese developers that Bernie is dealing with as a Socialist.....and the 100 year old sewer system throughout Burlington hasn't been upgraded either so its like a mini New York city on a small scale which is where the Mayor s sister sells luxury apts to the Chinese that are old low income housing apts torn down to make way for new and the residents migrate across the Lake for Vermont Welfare programs and housing so Vermonters who apply are last on the list or living in the woods on I 89 unable to find affordable housing.....so this blog written by the New York Times is not surprising because the affiliation with the Mayor is probably there like the votes coming from the sister city and students who aren't educated in city administration at all too busy partying on the crafter beers brewed here....so welcome....have a few crafted beers and hold your nose as you tour Burlington Vermont s beautiful city that stinks right now and enjoy!

Home to our next President Bernie Sanders 2020!

Millions of immigrants from africa and the middle east there?

The less minority the better.

A very white state. I’m thinking DeSantis should start shipping illegals there. They need a lot more black people too. Come on, Vermonters, diversity is your strength!
