Where to Eat While Visiting Acadia National Park
"Never question your allegiance to a Bar Harbor ice cream shop again; Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium has them all beat. The family-owned shop makes their own candies, chocolates, and ice cream, so you'll have a difficult time leaving the shop with just one dessert. If you want a taste of Maine, order their blueberry ice cream (or if you're feeling adventurous, their lobster ice cream)."
