The Ivy Manor Inn is an inn in Bar Harbor, Maine. It was built as a home in 1936, for local physician Dr Weymouth, and has been an inn since 1997.Built in the Tudor style, the inn has eighteen rooms, including six cottages. The inn also includes the William Tell Lounge, a whiskey, wine and beer bar open to the public. Notable previous owners of the inn are Judi and Bob Stanley. They originally ran it for sixteen years (from 1996 to 2012) before moving to Sarasota, Florida, for four years to be near their daughter, Michelle Ettinger, for whom the inn was once named, and her children. They took the inn's restaurant to a AAA Four Diamond rating. They returned in 2016, but the following year they received an offer for the inn, which they accepted. The Stanleys returned to Sarasota, where they opened Pascone's Ristorante in July 2018.The inn was updated and the restaurant eliminated under the new ownership. In the spring of 2019, the new owners built six Tudor cabins on the property and converted the dining room to guest rooms. The property is open seasonally from May to October.

Village Green, Bar Harbor
Village Green, Bar Harbor

Village Green is an urban park in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States. Located centrally in the town, compared to the coastal Agamont Park about 0.18 miles (0.29 km) to the north, Firefly Lane bounds it to the north, Main Street to the east, Mount Desert Street (Maine State Route 3) to the south and Kennebec Street to the west. (Main Street is also Route 3 up until it reaches the park from the south. It then turns onto Mount Desert Street.) The park has a free public Wi-Fi network.The town's fire and police departments are located on Firefly Lane, across from the Green.Although the park is not fenced, its six paved entrances are at Main Street and Mount Desert Street, Mount Desert Street and Kennebec Street, Kennebec Street, two on Firefly Lane, and one at Main Street and Firefly Lane. The bisecting paths encourage pedestrians to pass through the park, instead of walk around it.A granite bench, in memory of John Whittington Roberts (1870–1904), is in the middle of the Main Street side, beside the original 1896 cast-iron street clock (moved to this location in 1905), while a dog fountain is beside the Main and Mount Desert entrance. A memorial also stands on its Mount Desert side, just beyond the fountain. A bandstand stands near the park's northern (Firefly Lane) side. A 17th-century tiered Italian fountain with 21 spigots, donated by John Callendar Livingston in 1909, is in the park's southwestern corner. It was restored in 1992 by sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald after not being functional for thirty years.Bar Harbor's Island Explorer buses leave and drop off passengers on the park's western edge, at Kennebec Street.

Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium
Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium

Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium is a chain of ice cream parlors and confectioners in New England, United States. It was founded, as Trahan's Candies, in 1956 by Paul and Mary Trahan. Their original location was inside Ben Franklin's Store in Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Two years later, the Trahans opened their own retail location in the town. They expanded into the Massachusetts towns of Falmouth and Hyannis, operating during the summer months. They then opened two locations in Florida — in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach — which stayed open during the winter. Each location made its own candy and chocolates.Other expansion locations opened and closed. One, on Main Street in Bar Harbor, Maine, opened in 1980 and is still in operation. After the sale of the Oak Bluffs store on Martha's Vineyard in 2004, it became the company's headquarters.In 1983, the stores introduced ice cream to their products. The Bar Harbor location began with sixteen flavors, adding more as demand dictated. Today, that location has 64 hard-serve ice cream (including a lobster flavor, introduced in 1988) and twelve gelatos. The Bar Harbor location, at least, also offers vegan ice cream. The lobster flavor was created as a joke after a challenge from a customer, but it remained on the menu. It is made by folding chopped, cooked and buttered lobster meat into vanilla ice cream.After 32 years in operation, the business was sold to the Trahans' nephews Ben and William Coggins, who renamed it Ben and Bill's Chocolate Emporium.A location was opened in Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1991, followed three years later by the Oak Bluffs store. The Northampton store closed in 2017.With an estimated 90% of its business sourced from out-of-state visitors, the Bar Harbor location launched a GoFundMe campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic, having seen their 2020 sales drop to 43% of that of the previous year.
